The RODIACUT 150 / RODIADRILL 200 pairs a RODIACUT drill stand with the RODIADRILL 200 motor. ROTHENBERGER lists it for both handheld and stationary core drilling, making it useful for contractors who need more than one drilling setup.

According to the manufacturer's regional product page, the system can drill up to 200 mm in stationary wet mode and 225 mm in stationary dry mode. Handheld capacity is listed as 82 mm for wet drilling and 250 mm for dry drilling. The lightweight aluminum stand has built-in wheels for moving the unit around the jobsite.

Two leveling indicators and four adjustment screws help position the stand. It also has a hole-center indicator, drilling-depth stop, and measuring scale. A dovetail mount and clamping mechanism let the operator attach the motor without tools.

This model suits jobs that call for both stationary and handheld drilling, rather than a dedicated stand-mounted system for very large holes.

RODIACUT 400 / RODIADRILL 500 is a larger, stand-mounted diamond core drilling system for professional work in concrete and masonry.

ROTHENBERGER lists a maximum diameter of 400 mm for both wet and dry stationary drilling. Adding the optional distance plate increases capacity to 500 mm, well beyond the range of the RODIACUT 150 / RODIADRILL 200.

The lightweight aluminum stand has four adjustment screws for alignment, along with vertical and horizontal leveling aids. Transport wheels and a carrying handle make the unit easier to move around the jobsite.

The operator can switch the operating side without tools. Choose the RODIACUT 400 / RODIADRILL 500 for large-diameter stationary drilling that exceeds the capacity of the smaller RODIACUT 150 system.

Find the Right ROTHENBERGER Diamond Core Drill
for Your Project

For installation work that combines smaller stand-mounted holes with handheld drilling, the RODIACUT 150 / RODIADRILL 200 gives you both operating methods in one system.

For larger openings that require a securely mounted stand, the RODIACUT 400 / RODIADRILL 500 drills up to 400 mm as standard and up to 500 mm with the optional distance plate.

This site lists diamond core drills from a range of manufacturers. Compare drilling capacity, power requirements, mounting options, portability, available accessories, and after-sales support to find a machine that fits the job.

Features of ROTHENBERGER Diamond Core Drills

Lightweight Aluminum Drill Stands

Both systems use aluminum drill stands to keep weight manageable on the jobsite. They also include built-in transport features for moving between drilling locations.

The RODIACUT 150 has rubber transport wheels. The larger RODIACUT 400 adds a carrying handle to its wheels, which helps when moving the unit around a site or up and down stairs.

Stand Alignment and Adjustment

Secure installation and accurate alignment are essential before drilling begins. Both RODIACUT stands have adjustment screws and leveling aids to help position the system.

The RODIACUT 150 has two leveling indicators and four adjustment screws, as well as a hole-center indicator, depth stop, and measuring scale. The larger stand uses vertical and horizontal leveling aids with four adjustment screws for positioning it against the work surface.

Motor Mounting and Operator Adjustments

The RODIACUT 150 / RODIADRILL 200 uses a quick-change plate and dovetail clamp for tool-free motor mounting.

On the RODIACUT 400 / RODIADRILL 500, the operator can switch the operating side without tools and adjust the hand lever. This flexibility is helpful when there is little room to work around the machine.

Wet and Dry Core Drilling

ROTHENBERGER lists wet and dry operating modes across its core drilling range. The right method depends on the machine, core bit, material, hole diameter, and jobsite conditions.

Before work begins, check the approved operating mode and core bit for the exact setup. You will also need the appropriate equipment to manage water, slurry, or dust.

Applications and Jobsite Considerations

ROTHENBERGER core drilling equipment cuts openings in materials such as masonry and reinforced concrete. Typical uses include penetrations for pipes, HVAC systems, electrical services, and other building utilities.

Openings for Pipes and Building Services

Core drills produce round openings through walls, floors, and other building elements. Match the system to the finished hole diameter, drilling direction, material, reinforcement, and available workspace.

HVAC and Plumbing Installation

ROTHENBERGER makes tools and machines for plumbing, heating, refrigeration, and air-conditioning work. Its core drilling systems can cut through concrete or masonry for pipes and related building systems.

Larger penetrations may need a stationary system with sufficient stand capacity and secure anchoring. Check the drilling method and required accessories before starting work.

Electrical and Construction Openings

ROTHENBERGER also lists electricians among the intended users of its drilling systems. Applications include holes for electrical installations and other construction services in masonry or concrete.

Before drilling, locate reinforcement and concealed utilities, and check for structural restrictions and other site hazards near the planned opening.

Large-Diameter Stationary Core Drilling

The RODIACUT 400 / RODIADRILL 500 is designed for large, stand-mounted holes in concrete and masonry. ROTHENBERGER lists professional drillers and industrial installation crews among its intended users.

Large openings require extra planning. Check the stand anchoring, clearance, drilling direction, water and debris controls, core-bit dimensions, and how the cut core will be removed and handled.

What U.S. Buyers Should Confirm Before Purchasing

ROTHENBERGER USA Inc. operates in the United States, but the specifications reviewed for these two systems come from non-U.S. regional product pages. Before ordering, verify the U.S.-market model and configuration.

• U.S. model availability: Ask ROTHENBERGER USA or an authorized dealer whether product numbers FF34160 and 1000005326, or equivalent U.S. configurations, are available.
• Voltage and frequency: The regional product information includes 230 V specifications. Check the voltage, frequency, current draw, and circuit requirements for the machine sold in the United States.
• Plug configuration: Some regional specifications show a European plug. Make sure the supplied plug and grounding arrangement are suitable for the U.S. jobsite.
• Certifications: Determine whether the exact machine has the listings, certifications, or approvals required by the employer, project owner, authority having jurisdiction, or jobsite.
• Core-bit compatibility: Check the spindle or connection type, bit diameter, drilling depth, wet or dry rating, and compatibility with the core bits you plan to use.
• Stand anchoring: Identify the anchoring or vacuum equipment required for the drilling direction and base material.
• Accessories: Ask which fixing equipment, water-management equipment, vacuum components, distance plates, and other accessories are included and which are sold separately.
• Warranty: Request the warranty terms for the exact model purchased and used in the United States.
• Service and spare parts: Find out where repairs are carried out and how quickly commonly needed replacement parts can be supplied.

ROTHENBERGER Maintenance, Warranty, and Support

ROTHENBERGER publishes operating instructions and spare-parts documents for these drilling systems. Use them as the primary reference for inspection, setup, maintenance, and operation.

The regional page for the RODIACUT 150 / RODIADRILL 200 also mentions ROTHENBERGER's RO SERVICE+ program. Because warranty coverage and service programs vary by country and product, U.S. buyers should request the applicable terms from ROTHENBERGER USA or the dealer.

For equipment that will see regular professional use, make sure technical support, replacement parts, repairs, compatible core bits, mounting accessories, and water- or dust-control equipment are readily available.
