The cooling wax helps to reduce heat buildup during cutting and drilling, which prevents damage to the tools and materials and prolongs their lifespan.

What size drill bits are included?

How do I maintain the diamond blade?

Keep the blade clean and use cooling wax before each use. Store the blade in its protective case when not in use.

What if the drill bit is too small for a fitting?

Ensure you are using the correct bit size for your application, and choose a bit slightly larger than your fitting diameter where necessary.

What kind of angle grinder is compatible?

The diamond blade is compatible with M14 thread angle grinders.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Troubleshooting

Drill bit or blade overheating

Apply more cooling wax and reduce the pressure during cutting.

Chipping of tiles or stone

Ensure the drill bit or blade is sharp and the material is well-supported. Reduce cutting speed.

Drill bit not fitting the drill

Use the M14 to Hex Adaptor provided in the kit.
