Atlas Copco
West Springfield, Mass.

Hydraulic Core Drills
Designed for precise and efficient diamond core drilling. Atlas Copco's powerful and low-vibration, hydraulic-powered core drills are ideal for the most difficult and demanding applications. The drills are developed for free-hand use, but they also can be mounted on standard rigs. While primarily intended for drilling in brickwork, rock and concrete, the core drills can be converted with a drill chuck mounting for use in wood and steel applications. Four models are available - the LCD 5, LCD 10, LCD 15 and LCD 24 - all of which weigh 18 pounds. Equipped with non-kickback operation, the drills provide added safety for working in confined areas.
