The power of DUSS diamond core drilling rigs

Published on 23 January 2026 Reading time : 4 minutes

Wherever renovation, installation or utility construction work is being carried out, diamond drilling machines are inevitably involved. Diamond drilling is the method of choice for achieving fast, clean and low-dust results when drilling holes, ventilation openings, cable ducts or pipework. Whether reinforced concrete, sand-lime brick, natural stone or masonry, a diamond drilling machine cuts through it in a controlled manner without breaking the material.

However, not all machines are the same. Reliability, power and user-friendliness can vary greatly from brand to brand. That is why Van Dulst has consciously chosen the diamond drilling technology from DUSS: a German quality brand that has been developing tools for over a hundred years with a focus on durability, comfort and maximum precision.

 

Dry drilling, wet drilling or both

Our range includes many different types of DUSS diamond drilling machines for dry drilling, wet drilling or a combination of both. We will be happy to explain which solution is right for you.

Dry drilling

Dry drilling is fast and efficient without the use of water. This is ideal for installers, electricians and builders who often drill holes for sockets, cables or ventilation ducts. Consider models such as:

  • DIA 303 S: Ideal for environments that must not become dusty or wet. With a drilling range of 52 to 250 mm
  • DIA 200: Ideal for masonry or concrete. With a drilling range of 82 to 250 mm

 

Wet drilling

Wet drilling is often used for larger diameters or penetrations in reinforced concrete. Water cools the crown and immediately removes drill dust, ensuring a cleaner end result and less wear:

  • DIA 52 W: Compact and ideal for high-precision construction applications. With a drilling range of 8 to 42 mm.
  • DIA 400 W: Powerful and ideal for heavy-duty construction applications. With a drilling range of 67 to 400 mm.

Wet & dry drilling

Wet and dry drilling machines are ideal for companies that do not want to switch between different diamond drilling machines all the time. Here are some of our models:

  • DIA 203 W: Features three speeds and can be quickly deployed in almost any situation. With a drilling range of 12 to 202 mm.
  • DIA 303 W: Powerful and features an enormous drilling range of 32 to 322 mm.

What makes DUSS diamond drilling machines the smart choice?

DUSS is known for its solid construction, robust motors and smart technology, which sets it apart on the construction site and in installation work. Features such as soft start and safety clutch prevent jamming and protect both the user and the machine.

The constant electronics ensure a stable speed, even under heavy loads. Combined with low vibrations, stable handles and a good weight-to-power ratio, long periods of work are no problem.

The large diameter range of up to 400 mm for wet drilling also makes DUSS suitable for heavy-duty and precision drilling. In practice, we see that this helps professionals to work efficiently and safely.

Practical applications in construction, renovation and installation

The power of DUSS diamond drilling machines is particularly evident in practice.

An installation company that needs to install plumbing or HVAC in an existing apartment complex can get straight to work with the DUSS DIA 303 W. Thanks to the wide drilling range (32–300 mm wet, 52–300 mm dry) and the infinitely variable speed control, feed-through holes for water pipes, ventilation ducts or sewer pipes can be made quickly and accurately, even in hard concrete or masonry.

For larger and heavier drilling jobs, such as foundations or large feed-throughs for installations, the DUSS DIA 400 W offers the solution. This machine can drill holes up to 400 mm in diameter, ideal for structural feed-throughs or installing heavy anchors in concrete.

Those who perform small and precise work, such as drilling holes for electrical or heating pipes in walls or floors, should choose the compact DUSS DIA 52 W. This machine is perfect for wet drilling and delivers clean, accurate holes in concrete, natural stone or masonry from approximately eight mm in diameter.

Flexibility is essential in renovation projects or installation work in existing buildings. DUSS machines can be combined with drill stands, dust or water extraction and various diamond drill bits, allowing professionals to work safely and with minimal dust, even in sensitive or indoor areas where cleanliness is important.

This is how DUSS diamond drilling machines prove their worth: from small penetrations for pipes and electrical cables to large-diameter drilling for foundations and connections, always with maximum precision, safety and efficiency.
