|
|
|
Diamond coated drill bits work on any type of stone and will easily cut
holes in Marble, Porcelain and Glass.
DO NOT USE HAMMER ACTION WITH DIAMOND COATED DRILLS / HOLE SAWS

This diamond coated hole saw is the ideal choice for
drilling through tough stone. You will notice that there is no
arbour with these hole saws, this offers some advantages as the
holes can be overlapped if required.
If possible tiles are best cut before they are fixed and a stand drill is preferred and will make light work of cutting holes in any tile, it is important that water is used to cool the cutting bit. |
|
Diamond Grit hole saws need water to keep them cool
during use, this will ensure that you get the maximum amount of life
from your cutter.
It is possible and quite easy to start the hole saw on a tile by rotating the drill bit whilst holding the drill on an angle, like in this picture. Once the diamond cutter has started to cut into the tile you can straighten it up and drill the perfect hole. |
|
To make this as easy as possible I have decided to
make a template that will help with getting the cutter started. I
have cut a small piece or Acrylic and I have fixed it in the drill
vice and then cut a hole using the diamond coated drill bit.
You can use a piece of wood, but you will need a hole saw to cut the hole rather than using the diamond coated drill bit. |
|
Here I placed the acrylic on the tile and filled the hole with water. |
|
Hold the Acrylic in place until the diamond cutting
drill has started to cut into the tile and then remove the Acrylic.
Drill slowly ensuring that the cutter is kept wet. |
|
I drilled two perfect holes in no time at all. |
For larger holes a drill press is recommended-
