    Default Installing a POWERDOCK or 240v electric supply into granite worktops.

    Power Docks are now the must have space saving device for kitchen worktops.

    Whether fitted as an aftermarket item or as part of a new kitchen install a Power-dock or Power dock can add useful plug socket space and versatility to a work top area.


    Power Docks can add plug sockets to a kitchen worktop
    saving on space and can be concealed when not in use.


    One concern from installers is that there is a very low margin of error
    for installing (drilling) the granite, marble or slate worktops.

    Power docks are quite unforgiving on drilling tolerances as there is nothing
    to hide the hole once drilled. So it has to be right first time!

    At 365Drills we produce PORSADRILL. Its a value for money brand
    of commercial diamond drills, cores and holesaws and perfect for
    GRANITE, Marble, Porcelain, Travertine, Glass, Pottery, Slate and
    a whole host of other stone based materials used to make worktops.


    At 365Drills we make a range of large size Diamond core drills & hole saws


    The diamod cores from 365Drills can easily cut holes into GRANITE.


    Keep the core cool by adding water via a sponge.



    Perfect Holes! And Ideal for electrical Power Docks



    And if you cant lift or move the granite then its easy to drill in-situ

    Make a template out of plasterboard....



    Place the plasterboard on top of the granite worktop. Secure.
    Start to drill your hole. Add water. And your hole is formed.

    At 365Drills we make a range of diamond cores in all sizes.

    The most common is 105mm but a word of warning! There are various models out there. Buy the Power Dock FIRST. Get the diamond core second...



    As this style of concealed power is becoming more popular then so are the ranges and styles...



    In the case of the one above its 100mm


    Drag Up Powerdock Sockets with Inset Finger Pull


    And in the case of this model its an 80mm diamond core drill.
