Chem-Set KDM115 Keep-Nut Drilling Machine Kit With Extra KDM600E Drill

Description

KDM115 drilling kit is a Chem-Set Keep-Nut anchor-hole preparation package with a KDM52 vacuum base, two KDM600E electric drills, and an 11.8 mm 5/8-11 drill bit. It is built for countertop, cladding, panel, and fabrication teams that need repeatable blind holes in hard architectural surfaces.

KDM115 drilling kit Benefits

• Vacuum base helps hold the drilling machine steady on rough, polished, or vertical surfaces.
• Two included KDM600E drills give the shop a working drill plus an extra tool for service coverage.
• Integrated water feed supports cooling and dust control during hard-surface drilling.
• Depth control helps crews prepare repeatable Keep-Nut insert holes without a CNC router.
• 11.8 mm 5/8-11 drill bit gives installers a ready starting point for compatible Keep-Nut work.

The KDM115 drilling kit is useful when anchor placement must be accurate on finished parts, job-site panels, or assemblies that are too awkward to move back to a machine table. Use it for insert preparation in stone, quartz, porcelain, sintered stone, UHPC, GFRC, and similar substrates after confirming the insert and bit requirements.

KDM115 drilling kit Applications

• Preparing Keep-Nut holes for undermount sink supports and countertop hardware.
• Drilling anchor locations in porcelain, sintered stone, quartz, and natural stone.
• Cladding and facade panel work using blind threaded inserts.
• Field corrections where portable drill-press style control is needed.
• Fabrication shops that need insert-hole prep without CNC scheduling.

Setup And Surface Preparation

Clean the contact area so the vacuum base can hold properly. Mark the hole, confirm the bit size, connect water and power, and set the depth stop before drilling the first production hole. Test on scrap when the surface or insert style is new to the crew.

Keep water flowing, hold the tool square, and clear slurry from the hole before checking depth and fit. Do not force the drill if the bit stops cutting or the vacuum base loses grip.
