Electroplated Diamond Core Drill Bits

Ideal for trades people, handy people and DIY for cutting glass, china, fibreglass, pottery, marble, porcelain tiles, granite, travertine, blue stone, fibre cement, poly carbonates  and more. Our bits use a finer diamond than the ones you find in big hardware stores, so will cut better.

Supplied with a hex shank, so will fit most drills.
These are to be used in rotary mode only ie not hammer drill.

These bits can be purchased individually (6 - 105mm).
Or we stock the HDEMK8 kit  -  8 Piece kit with drill guide (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 & 12mm bits).

Instructions:

Fit the hex shank fully into the drill chuck and tighten.

Use appropriate personal safety equipment - safety glasses, hearing protection etc

Use slow speed drills. A battery drill is much safer with water than an electric one. If using an electric drill, ensure you use an RCD to prevent electrocution.

Check our drill chart below for recommended speed.

Core bit diameter	12mm	25mm	50mm	75mm	90mm
Fibreglass	1200rpm	700rpm	350rpm	250rpm	175rpm
Glass & china	800rpm	500rpm	250rpm	160rpm	125rpm
Pottery tile & marble	600rpm	450rpm	225rpm	130rpm	100rpm
Porcelain tile	500rpm	375rpm	180rpm	125rpm	90rpm
Granite	400rpm	300rpm	150rpm	100rpm	75rpm

Clamp the material to be drilled firmly. Never hold the material with one hand while drilling with the other!

Apply plenty of water.  Some objects can be barely immersed in water (beware water in the drill). Or try one of our water suction ring sets - see here

Use only medium drilling pressure. The smaller the diameter, the less pressure is needed (otherwise you will damage the core bit).

Withdraw bit regularly to allow cooling, allow water inside the hole and to clear debris.

A pilot drill bit is provided on larger diameter bits, but a simple template guide is just as fast.

Be aware that porcelain and glass may fracture and these can be very sharp.

Core bit damage will occur if:
 - the drill bit gets too hot to touch
 - drill speed is too high
 - insufficient cooling water
The diamond crown will turn blue and the diamonds will strip off. This is not warranty, so follow these guidelines.

Drill Guides: Drilling holes in stone tiles or other hard, smooth surfaces is often hard to start, especially when working with the lubricants necessary for diamond hole cutters/drill bits. This drilling guide is designed to hold your bit steady so you can start the hole in the right spot without slipping or sliding. Both use a 120mm suction cup

Plastic (red): 8-80mm, with water injection point (for lubrication when drilling) $15

Steel (blue): 8mm to 54 mm $25

(Pictures show two guides in each photo - prices are for 1 each)
