Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of materials can these bits drill through?

These bits are specifically designed for very hard materials such as porcelain, ceramic tiles, glass, stone, granite, marble, and concrete. They are not recommended for wood or metal.

Do I need to use water when drilling?

Yes, water cooling is highly recommended, and often essential, when drilling hard materials with diamond bits. It keeps the bit cool, prolongs its life, and helps to control dust.

What is the 'Quick Change' feature?

The quick-change system allows for faster and easier swapping of drill bits in compatible chucks, saving time during multi-stage drilling tasks.

How long will a diamond tip drill bit last?

The lifespan varies greatly depending on the material being drilled, the pressure applied, and the effectiveness of cooling. However, due to the vacuum brazed diamond tip, these Boa bits offer superior endurance compared to standard bits.

Can I use these bits with a hammer drill?

No, never use diamond-tipped bits with a hammer drill function. Always ensure your drill is set to a standard rotary (non-hammer) mode.

Where are these drill bits manufactured?

These Boa Quick Change Diamond Tip Drill Bits are manufactured in the UK.

What is the Boa CCV guide for?

The Boa CCV (Cool Clear Vision) guide is an optional accessory that helps with accurate starting of holes and provides a system for water cooling, improving drilling precision and dust suppression.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not cutting effectively

Ensure the drill is not in hammer mode. Check if you are using sufficient water cooling. Increase speed slightly if possible, or try a different drilling angle. The material might be exceptionally hard; consider a larger diameter bit or a specialized diamond grinding paste if applicable.

Excessive heat or smoking

Immediately stop drilling and allow the bit to cool. Increase the water flow significantly. Reduce drilling pressure and speed. Ensure the bit is not worn out; a dull diamond tip generates more heat.

Bit breaks or chips

This is uncommon with vacuum brazed bits. If it occurs, stop immediately. Excessive force, binding, or drilling into an unexpected material could be the cause. Inspect the chuck for damage and ensure the bit is properly seated.

Difficulty removing bit from drill

Ensure the drill chuck is fully opened. If the bit is hot, let it cool completely before attempting removal. Some quick-change systems may require a specific release action; consult your drill's manual.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and strength from the welded diamond tip.
  • Designed specifically for challenging, hard materials.
  • Efficient workflow with the quick-change mechanism.
  • High-performance results due to extensive product development.
  • Reliable UK manufacturing.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible drill and potentially specialized handling for diamond bits.
  • Best performance is achieved with water cooling, which may be an additional accessory.
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard drill bits.
  • Not suitable for soft materials where it may cause excessive damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the drill you are using is set to a non-hammer action. Insert the Boa Quick Change Diamond Tip Drill Bit securely into the drill chuck. For best results and to prolong bit life, use a consistent, moderate pressure and a steady speed. Always use water cooling when drilling hard materials to keep the bit cool and to manage dust. The optional Boa CCV guide can aid in precise starting and stable drilling.

Compatibility: These bits are designed for use with standard rotary drills. The quick-change shank is compatible with most standard chucks. Always check your drill's specifications to ensure it supports the required RPM for diamond drilling.

Care: After use, allow the bit to cool down. Clean any debris from the diamond tip. Store the bits in a dry, protected case to prevent damage to the cutting edges. Periodically inspect the tip for excessive wear or damage.
