Description
Three-speed oil-bath gears spin diamond core barrels through cured concrete aggregate without motor bogging. The ICS 2200W Handheld Core Drill bores utility penetrations using 2200W motor muscle. You guide the rear D-handle with two hands. Handheld drilling past 3-Inch diameter creates dangerous rotational bind torque, requiring an anchored drill stand for large holemaking.
Die-cast aluminum forms the front transmission housing, dissipating gear friction heat while sealing oil-bath lubrication inside. A 2200W universal motor connects to 115V 1-Phase power, drawing 19.0 full-load amps to drive 3-Gear speeds at 500, 1200, and 2100 RPM. Internal multi-plate friction clutches protect motor armatures from sudden core bit lockups. The handheld tool scales at 16.5 lbs, measuring 17 inches long by 6 inches wide for tight plumbing wall chases.
Key Features of ICS 2200W
Contractors buy ICS 2200W core drills to bore pipe penetrations through brick and concrete walls. The 3-Speed transmission delivers the exact surface speed needed for small dry bits or large wet diamond barrels.
- High-output 2200W motor delivers heavy rotational torque through a standard 115V connection.
- Three-speed oil-bath gearbox provides 500, 1200, and 2100 RPM to match diamond bit diameters.
- Mechanical safety slip clutch breaks rotational drive during core bit jams to prevent wrist injury.
- Dual spindle thread arbor accepts 1-1/4-Inch-7 and 5/8-Inch-11 diamond core bits without adapters.
- Integrated water swivel feeds cooling water through the spindle center for clean wet coring.
- In-line PRCD ground fault circuit interrupter protects operators from electrical shocks in wet areas.
- Ergonomic D-handle and clamp-on side handle provide solid two-hand control during drilling.
Handheld Core Bench Load Metrics
Bench dynamometer testing proves the 3-Speed gearbox holds spindle speed at 1140 RPM in second gear while drilling a 2-1/2-Inch diamond bit through 4000 PSI cured concrete. The internal mechanical slip clutch breaks traction at 30 foot-pounds of sudden resistance, protecting operator wrists when diamond segments strike buried steel rebar. The oil bath gearbox keeps gear surface temperatures below 132 degrees Fahrenheit across 2-Hours of continuous wet coring duty in test bays. Current draw remains steady at 18.2 amps under active downthrust.
Jobsite Handling Operational Field Limits
The contoured D-handle and rotating side grip give you solid two-hand leverage during horizontal wall drilling. Skip handheld operation on core bits exceeding 3-Inch diameter in reinforced concrete. Bits larger than three inches produce dangerous rotational bind torque that demands mounting the motor onto an anchored drill rig stand. Turn on water flow before engaging the diamond bit.
- Inspect spindle water seal packings monthly and replace weeping seals to stop water ingress.
- Check gearbox oil level through the inspection plug and change synthetic gear oil every 12-Months.
- Test the inline PRCD ground fault circuit interrupter button before every wet drilling shift.
Factory Warranty Standard Package Inclusions
ICS backs the 2200W core drill motor with a 1-Year commercial warranty covering manufacturer defects. The heavy kit box delivers the handheld drill motor, an inline PRCD cord, a brass water connection valve, open-end arbor wrenches, and an operator manual. Core bits sold separately.
