FAQs

What materials can these drill bits be used on?

These bits are designed for use on ceramic, granite, terracotta, porcelain and stone tiles.

Do I need to use water with these drill bits?

No, the internal wax lubrication eliminates the need for water cooling. They are designed for dry drilling.

What is the recommended drill speed?

A minimum drill speed of 1800 RPM is recommended for optimal performance.

What type of drill should I use?

Use a high-speed corded drill for best results.

How do I prevent the drill bit from slipping?

Ensure the drill bit is securely fitted into the drill chuck using the hex fitting.

How should I store the drill bits?

Store them in a dry place to help preserve the drill bits' life.

What causes chipping when drilling?

Excessive pressure, an unsteady hand, or drilling at an angle can cause chipping. Use a steady hand and apply even pressure.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not cutting effectively.

Check the drill speed and ensure it is at least 1800 RPM. Apply consistent, but not excessive, pressure.

Drill bit slipping during use.

Make sure the bit is firmly secured in the drill chuck using the hex fitting.

Holes are chipping the tile.

Reduce pressure and ensure the drill is perpendicular to the tile surface. Use a slower, more controlled drilling approach.

Drill bit overheating.

Allow the bit to cool down. Check the drill speed and the pressure applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Drill Compatibility: Use a high-speed corded drill. Ensure the drill can achieve a minimum speed of 1800 RPM.
Bit Insertion: Securely insert the appropriate sized drill bit into the drill's chuck using the hex fitting to ensure a firm grip.
Drilling Technique: Apply gentle, steady pressure. Avoid forcing the bit. Let the diamond tip do the work.
Angle: Begin drilling at a slight angle to prevent the bit from wandering, then gradually bring the drill to a 90-degree angle.
Speed: Maintain a consistent high speed during drilling. The wax lubricant functions optimally at the recommended speed.
Care: Avoid excessive pressure or tilting the drill bit. If the bit slows or the wax stops lubricating, allow the bit to cool before continuing. Store bits in a dry place to preserve their lifespan.
