The Tile Rite 38mm Diamond Hole Saw is designed for professionals and DIYers undertaking wet drilling tasks on hard tile materials like porcelain, marble, granite, and travertine. Its key benefit is creating clean, precise 38mm (1 1/4 inch) holes, perfect for waste pipe installations. A caveat to consider is that for optimal results and longevity, it's recommended to use it with a dedicated guide and cooling system.

The 38mm (1 1/4 inch) size is specifically designed to create holes suitable for standard solvent weld waste pipes used in plumbing installations.
No, this diamond hole saw is designed for wet drilling only. Dry drilling will significantly reduce its effectiveness, damage the diamond rim, and create excessive dust.
It is suitable for wet drilling through porcelain, marble, granite, and travertine tiles.
The hole saw features a straight shank that fits all standard drill chucks. However, a variable speed drill is recommended for optimal control.
For best results, use the hole saw with a universal drill guide to maintain stability and a cooling system to ensure continuous water supply to the cutting area.
After drilling, rinse the hole saw thoroughly with water to remove all debris. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a dry place.
A cooling system provides a continuous water supply, which keeps the diamond cutting rim cool. This prevents overheating, extends the life of the hole saw, and helps to flush away tile slurry for a cleaner cut.
Ensure you are using the correct drilling speed and applying steady pressure. Verify that you are using a wet drilling method, as dry drilling significantly reduces cutting efficiency and damages the diamond rim.
Confirm adequate water cooling is being used. Overheating due to insufficient water is the primary cause of rapid wear. Also, ensure you are not applying excessive force or 'wobbling' the saw during use.
Check that the drill chuck is clean and free of debris. Ensure the chuck is tightened sufficiently around the shank. If the shank is damaged, it may need replacement.
Increase the water flow to the drilling area. Consider using a tile drilling dust shroud or a dedicated water containment system if available.
