I bought their 1800w rotary hammer last year to crack stones in the garden together with 16mm wedges.
Without having much experience with rotary hammers, I have been very satisfied with the machine! So satisfied that I've started looking at their other range of machines.
Hi Ludvig I am looking at the same machine and will be drilling up to 18mm in rock. The stones you drilled in, were they "normal" Swedish hard rock? Do you have any tips on the procedure, did you use a low RPM? Where did you buy your drill bits?
Now I have used their tile cutter. I have "split" 150x900 clinker tiles and it has worked well!
Comparing renting one versus buying this one, it was worth it for me.
The downside is that it could have had a slightly larger water bath. It empties quite quickly, so you need to have a bucket handy to refill it as you go.
The blade guard, I would like to have been able to fix in a certain position so that you can see better when sawing without the parallel guide. It definitely splashed a bit when you lifted the guard completely.
The parallel guide does not have the best solution for adjustment. But if you are a little patient, it's no problem.
The saw didn't chip anything at the start. But halfway/at the end after about 20-30 lpm, the edges were slightly nicked. (though only on the surface of the tile) Whether that depends on me or the blade or that I was careless with refilling water, I don't know. All my cuts will be hidden by trim, so I wasn't very worried about it.
But as it seems with most of their tools, it suffices for the average person.
The end result was good anyway considering it was my first time
Hello everyone!
I have purchased a Vonroc rotary hammer drill with 6 joules. I've tested it now with a 10mm bit on rock (graystone) and it seems to work well so far. I've only drilled 4 holes so far, just 50-60 more 18mm holes to go... An update will come eventually.
Tips for successful drilling:
Use the lowest possible speed
Buy multiple bits and alternate between them, drilling only 1-2 cm before switching, make sure the bits don’t get too hot so that you can’t hold them.
Let the machine rest between uses, you need to as well, long vibrations aren't good... This reduces the risk of overheating.
Don't forget lubricant for the drill bit.
Hello Ludvig I'm looking at the same machine and will be drilling up to 18mm in rock. Were the stones you drilled into "regular" Swedish hard rock? Do you have any tips on the method, did you use a low speed? Where did you buy your drill bits?
I see I'm replying a couple of months late... But I have drilled with 16mm bits from biltema. I live in Småland, so there is plenty of rock to split on the property... I melted my first bit because I pressed too hard. You should really just let the machine do the work on its own.
Hey, I bought the machine and have drilled about 10 holes of 18mm and about 30 holes of 12mm. It takes a while, but the machine definitely does its job and was worth every penny!
I bought their miter saw https://vonroc.se/kap-och-geringssag-2200w-254mm
And their saw table for 749kr, I must say I'm impressed with how good the quality is for the price you pay.
Haven't done a lot of sawing yet, but I'm really satisfied so far!
