Masonry and other hard material can be a challenge for any contractor or home renovation tackler. The brittleness of masonry, stone, or concrete can pose problems for standard electric drills, and you may find yourself in need of a stronger, higher impact device. You may need a hammering action, a drilling action, or ideally depending on your material, a combination of both. While choosing a rotary hammer you will choose the rotary dill which is the most powerful in its class.
Rotary Hammer Drill or Rotary Drill
Rotary Drills are also known as a roto hammer or a rotary hammer drill; these devices are drills with a rotating hammering action. They work by providing a hammering action, a short rapid hammer thrust, which pulverizes hard brittle material, thus producing more efficient and quicker drilling with much less effort.
Modern Drilling
Most of the modern drill machines permit the use of both the hammer action and the rotatory action separately or even a combination of both, depending on the material to be drilled. They were invented in 1975 by James D Smith, who was a stonemason. These types of the drill are very efficient for drilling holes in brick, concrete, sandstone and some types of rock. The drill flutes transport the debris away and the hammering action breaks up the masonry.
There are many different makes and models, prices can range from just a few pounds for a simple model which may be ideal for the home DIY enthusiast, up to many hundreds of pounds for more serious use and applications i.e.; building industry and automotive industry.
Cordless rotary hammer drills
Hammer drills can be either cordless or mains powered. Mains powered drills require some type of external power supply, either mains power or power generated by some type of electrical generator which is usually mobile.
Cordless hammer drills carry their own power supply with a battery which is generally fitted onto the end of the drills handle. With today's technology and the advancement in battery design and performance, cordless power tools have become a very attractive alternative to the more conventional mains powered power tool and can provide many hours of use. This has made them extremely popular in the public and commercial markets.
Features
• Switchable hammer action (the drill may be set from normal action to hammer action)
• Clutch (this enables a slipping action should the drill bit encounter any difficulties; for example, get stuck or jam up).
• Adjustable clutch; this enables the correct torque when using the drill for driving screws.
• Reversible switch
Types
Another type of hammer drill uses a rotary action, and these types of the drill are known as rotary drills. The rotary type uses a piston mechanism instead of a special clutch which allows them to deliver a much more powerful hammer blow.
Conclusion
Rotary drills use a specially designed clutch which allows it to punch (hammer) and spin at the same time. Purchase a rotary drill from an authorized maker which can help you to serve your purpose.
