Diamond core drilling demands a rigid, precise connection between drill and bit — a poorly specified arbor risks bit slippage, inaccurate cores, and accelerated wear. The Draper 43708 hexagonal arbor addresses this by providing a dedicated, purpose-built interface designed specifically for use with diamond core drill bits. Constructed from hardened and tempered steel, the arbor delivers improved strength and durability under the sustained rotational loads typical of core drilling in masonry, concrete, and similar materials. The 240mm length provides the extension required for deep-core applications, while the 11mm hexagonal shank ensures a positive, non-slip seating in compatible drill chucks. The arbor connects to the drill bit via a 1/2" BSP male thread, offering compatibility with all 1/2" BSP threaded diamond core bits. With a 25mm diameter and a weight of 399g, it is a robust yet manageable component suited to professional workshop and site use. It must not be used in hammer mode; doing so risks damage to the arbor and the core bit. The Draper 43708 is supplied as a single 240mm arbor. Builders, groundworkers, and workshop technicians seeking a reliable, correctly specified arbor for diamond core drilling operations will find it a straightforward, fit-for-purpose solution.
