When it comes to efficient, high-performance core drilling, the HUSQVARNA DMS240 Core Drill Diamond Coring Rig, especially in its version including pump, represents the gold standard for contractors, concrete professionals, and mechanical trades. Engineered for accuracy, safety, and dependability, this system enables drilling precisely up to 10 in (250 mm) in diameter in concrete, masonry, and reinforced structures—making it ideal for plumbing penetrations, utility installations, road sign bases, barrier anchor holes, and ventilation openings.
Why Choose the DMS240 Core Drill Rig with Pump?
1. High‑Power Electric Motor
Powered by a 3.3 hp (2.9 kW), 115 V, 1‑phase motor drawing 20 A, the DMS240 delivers dual-speed gear control—390 and 890 rpm gearing to match bit size and material hardness.
Overload protection and slip-clutch systems shield the motor and gearbox, prolonging service life.
Stand tilts 0–60°, locking securely for angled cuts—perfect for slope or roof applications.
Stable back-support locks the drill column, minimizing flex and enhancing hole accuracy.
3. Vacuum Base & Pump System
The aluminum base plate includes an integrated vacuum gasket, allowing rapid, clamp-free setups on horizontal surfaces.
Optional vacuum pump kit (pump, hoses, fittings) ensures safe overhead drilling without anchors—ideal for slab ceilings and suspended decks.
4. Efficient Water Supply Pump
The “including pump” version delivers constant slurry-cooling water through the bit—reduces dust, preserves diamond segments, and enables OSHA-compliant wet cutting.
5. Built for Mobility & Durability
Weighing around 44–61 lb depending on accessories, the unit is portable for manual transport or truck-mounted jobs.
Integrated wheels and handle make it easy to maneuver between sites and locations.

Applications That Benefit Most
Mechanical and Plumbing Penetrations – Fast, precise holes for pipe, duct, and conduit installations in walls and floors.
Electrical and Data Core Work – Enhanced hole accuracy and dust control suitable for indoor and occupied spaces.
HVAC and Ventilation Drilling – Sloped cuts for duct work in ceilings or inclined surfaces.
Highway and Infrastructure Projects – Holes through concrete barriers and sign foundations (wet-cut to reduce airborne dust).
Utility & Road Safety Installations – Drilling for bollards, guardrails, and barrier footings with angled precision.
Benefits of Having a Pump Included
Zero-Dust Operation – Continuous water flow suppresses silica dust, ensuring safety and compliance.
Sharper Cuts, Less Wear – Water cools the bit and lubricates the interface, extending diamond life significantly.
Worksite Versatility – The integrated water pump and vacuum system prepare it for both vertical and overhead tasks safely.
Operating Best Practices
Mount unit firmly on a clean, dry surface—hydrate vacuum base plate before sealing.
Ensure vacuum pump is powered and evacuating air before drilling begins.
Set gear speed based on bit size and material hardness (use low speed for large diameters).
Engage water pump before starting motor.
Apply gradual feed pressure—let the diamonds do the cutting.
If doing stitch drilling, allow the motor to rest between holes, especially overhead.
After drilling, flush bits gently and allow the motor to cool before storing.
Maintenance & Support
Check motor brushes periodically; easy to replace per manual instructions.
Clean vacuum gasket and base plate to maintain suction.
Monitor water pump hose for clogs or cracks.
Store in a dry, covered space to avoid electrical corrosion or dust buildup.
Husqvarna offers parts and technical support through its national dealer network, backed by a 2-year limited warranty on the complete system.
