Stitch Drilling

Create openings of any shape through overlapping cores

Overview

Stitch drilling involves drilling a series of overlapping diamond core holes to form an opening of any shape. This technique is ideal for creating doorways, windows, and irregular-shaped openings without impact or vibration.

Stitch drilling is a highly controlled method of creating openings by drilling a series of overlapping or closely spaced core holes along the perimeter of the desired opening. The individual cores are then removed, and the remaining material is carefully broken out to leave a clean opening. This technique is particularly valuable where vibration must be minimised, where the opening shape is irregular, or where track sawing is not practical. Stitch drilling can be performed on walls, floors, and ceilings in any orientation, and is suitable for reinforced concrete of any thickness.
