FAQs

What materials can this drill bit be used on?

This drill bit is designed for use on porcelain, ceramic tiles, and other hard materials.

Do I need to use water when drilling?

No, this drill bit is designed for dry drilling, eliminating the need for water.

What type of drill is compatible?

It is compatible with angle grinders with an M14 thread or mains powered drills using an M14 Chuck Adaptor with Hex Adaptor.

How do I attach the drill bit?

If using an angle grinder, screw the M14 thread directly onto your angle grinder. If using a mains drill, use an M14 Chuck Adaptor with Hex Adaptor.

What should I do if the bit isn't cutting?

Check material compatibility, reduce pressure, and ensure the bit is properly attached.

How should I care for the drill bit?

Clean the bit after each use and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid excessive pressure while drilling.

Can I use this bit on glass?

This drill bit is not recommended for use on glass. It is specifically designed for hard tiles and similar materials.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not cutting effectively.

Check the material compatibility. Ensure you are drilling into porcelain, ceramic, or another suitable hard material. Also, check the speed and pressure being applied. Reduce pressure and speed if necessary.

Drill bit is overheating.

Reduce the pressure on the drill. Allow the bit to cool down if it becomes too hot. Avoid continuous drilling; take breaks.

Drill bit is slipping or not starting properly.

Ensure the drill bit is properly seated and secured in the angle grinder or drill. Start drilling at a slight angle to allow the bit to 'bite' before straightening it.
