Strongarm Diamond Tip GSA Core Drill Bit 5/16 x 6, Aero Space Lubricant Provided with Each Drill

The Strongarm Diamond Tip GSA Core Drill Bit ($5/16" \times 6"$) is a premium, professional-grade tool engineered specifically for safe technicians and government security professionals. This bit is designed to overcome the challenges of drilling through the carbide matrix hardplates commonly found in GSA-rated containers and high-security safes.

Product Overview

Unlike standard carbide-tipped bits that can struggle or shatter when encountering carbide "chunks" in a matrix, this diamond core bit utilizes an industrial diamond-electroplated tip. It works by "coring" a clean path through the hardplate rather than grinding the entire surface. This process is significantly faster and generates less heat, which is critical for preserving the integrity of the drill bit and the container being serviced.

Features

  • Precision Diamond Coating: Features a high-concentration diamond electroplated tip specifically for cutting carbide matrix, Relsom, and Maxalloy hardplates.

  • Coring Design: The hollow core design reduces the surface area being cut, which speeds up drilling and prevents the "chatter" often experienced with traditional bits.

  • Included Aerospace Lubricant: Every bit comes with a sample of specialized Aerospace Lubricant designed to flush out abrasive debris and keep the diamond tip cool.

  • Deep Reach: The 6-inch length provides ample reach for standard safe walls and GSA cabinet doors.

  • Seamless Integration: Designed to be used in conjunction with the Strongarm SA02-A1 core cutter for a complete opening solution.

StrongArm Drill Bits SADDC5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a diamond core bit get through a carbide matrix hardplate in a GSA container?
That is exactly what the Strongarm Diamond Tip GSA core bit is built for. Carbide matrix hardplates embed hard carbide chunks that chip or shatter standard carbide-tipped bits. The electroplated industrial diamond tip cores a ring-shaped path instead of grinding the whole face, so it cuts faster and runs cooler. Stated target materials are GSA hardplates, carbide matrix, Maxalloy and Relsom.
2) Can I run this safe drilling bit in hammer mode on a rotary hammer?
No. Rotary drilling only, no hammer mode. Percussion will destroy the electroplated diamond tip. Run it in a variable speed drill or drill rig with steady pressure and keep the lubricant flowing.
3) What size hole does the 5/16 x 6 Strongarm core bit make, and is 6 inches long enough for a GSA cabinet door?
It cuts a 5/16 inch diameter core and the bit is 6 inches long, which the maker calls ample reach for standard safe walls and GSA cabinet doors. A 5/16 inch hole is a common scope hole size for manipulating a lock package behind the hardplate.
4) Do I need a separate cutting fluid with this diamond core bit?
Each bit ships with a sample of aerospace grade lubricant, so you have what you need to start. Its job is to flush abrasive debris out of the cut and keep the diamond tip cool, which is what determines how long the plating lasts. It is a sample quantity, so plan on a working supply for repeated openings.
5) Does the Strongarm diamond core bit work with the SA02-A1 core cutter?
Yes, it is intended to be used together with the Strongarm SA02-A1 core cutter as a complete opening setup. The bit is also referenced alongside the SA02-A series as the 5/16 inch variant.
6) Why choose a hollow diamond core bit over a solid carbide tip bit for safe work?
A solid carbide tip grinds the full face of the hardplate, which loads the bit, builds heat and chatters badly on a matrix plate with loose carbide chunks in it. The hollow core design cuts only a narrow ring, reducing the surface area being removed. Less cut area means faster progress, less heat and less chatter, and the plated diamond does not care that the plate contains carbide. For softer plate or general steel, a carbide bit is still the simpler choice; save the diamond core for the matrix, Maxalloy and Relsom plates.
7) How do I order the right Strongarm diamond core bit, and what is the part number?
The 5/16 x 6 diamond tip GSA core bit is model SADDC5, manufacturer part number 51100. One configuration, no handing or finish options to specify.
