Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone using the Mexco TDXCEL 18mm Diamond Tile Hole Saw. It's designed to make clean, precise holes in porcelain, ceramic, and stone tiles without water. A key benefit is the ability to cut through hard materials quickly and cleanly. However, using a hex adaptor with a high-speed drill is necessary if you don't use an angle grinder.

FAQs

What materials can this hole saw cut?

The Mexco TDXCEL hole saw is designed for porcelain, ceramic, stone tiles, and similar hard materials.

Do I need to use water with this hole saw?

No, this hole saw uses a wax filling that lubricates and cools the bit, eliminating the need for water.

Can I use this hole saw with a regular drill?

Yes, you can use a high-speed corded drill but you'll need a hex adaptor.

What is the M14 thread?

The M14 thread is a standard thread size that allows the hole saw to be attached to an angle grinder.

How long will the hole saw last?

The lifespan depends on usage and material hardness. Proper care will maximize its life.

How do I attach the hole saw to my angle grinder?

Simply thread the M14 connector of the hole saw directly onto the angle grinder.

What should I do if the hole saw gets clogged?

Remove the debris using a brush or by tapping the hole saw gently to dislodge the material.

Troubleshooting

The hole saw is cutting slowly or not at all.

Check if the wax filling is still present. If the bit is worn, it may need replacing. Ensure you are applying even pressure, and not forcing the cut.

The tile is chipping or cracking.

Reduce the pressure. Ensure the bit is centered before starting. Use a slower speed when drilling.

The hole saw is overheating.

Allow the bit to cool down. Do not apply too much pressure. Make sure the slotted barrel is allowing for efficient removal of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cuts through hard materials like porcelain and stone with ease.
No water required, making the process cleaner and more convenient.
Diamond-tipped for long-lasting performance and clean cuts.
Suitable for use with both angle grinders and high-speed drills (with adaptor).
Ideal for creating holes for bathroom and kitchen fittings.

Cons

Requires an M14 thread angle grinder or a hex adaptor for use with a drill.
The initial cost might be higher compared to standard tile drill bits.
The wax filling might melt faster with excessive use and heat build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Angle Grinder Setup: Thread the M14 connector of the hole saw directly onto your angle grinder. Ensure it's securely fastened.
Drill Setup (with Hex Adaptor): Insert the hex adaptor into the drill chuck and tighten. Then, thread the hole saw onto the adaptor.
Compatibility: Compatible with angle grinders with an M14 thread and high-speed corded drills (using the appropriate hex adaptor).
Care: Avoid excessive pressure during use. Let the wax filling do its job. Clean the bit after each use to remove any tile debris. Store in a dry place to maintain the diamond coating and prevent corrosion.
