Viper Elite Dry Side Protection Core Bits

Professional diamond core bit designed for fast wet or dry drilling with diamond side protection to help reduce segment breakage and extend service life.

Fast Wet or Dry Drilling with Added Side Protection.

The Viper Elite Dry Side Protection Core Bit gives professional stone fabricators a versatile drilling solution for both shop and field applications. Designed to perform in wet or dry drilling conditions, the Viper Elite allows fabricators to use one core bit across a wider range of drilling applications rather than maintaining separate bits for each drilling method.

Diamond segments positioned along the side of the core bit provide added protection during drilling and help reduce the likelihood of segment breakage. Combined with fast drilling performance and long service life, this side-protection design makes the Viper Elite a practical choice for demanding professional fabrication work.
