FAQs
Can I use this drill with a standard power drill?
This drill features an M14 fitting, which is designed for angle grinders. You would need an M14 to hex shank adapter to use it with a standard drill, though angle grinders are recommended for performance.
Does this require water for cooling?
No, this is a dry-cut drill bit, meaning it is designed to operate efficiently without the need for water cooling.
What is the maximum hardness this bit can handle?
It is rated for all tile types including ceramic, marble, granite, and porcelain up to Grade 5.
How do I ensure the longest life for this bit?
Avoid overheating the tip by using an oscillating motion and applying only moderate pressure.
Is this bit suitable for drilling holes in concrete?
No, this is specifically engineered for tile materials and should not be used on concrete or masonry.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is failing to cut through the material.
The diamond segments may be glazed; run the bit through a piece of abrasive stone or a dressing block to expose fresh diamonds.
Excessive vibration during use.
Ensure the drill is seated correctly on the spindle and verify that the angle grinder is not running at an unstable speed.
The drill tip is discolored or smoking.
Reduce the applied pressure and increase the oscillating motion to allow air to cool the tip; do not force the drill.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-speed drilling capability
- Dry-cut design eliminates the need for water
- Durable vacuum brazed construction
- Compatible with standard M14 angle grinders
- Effective on hard materials up to Grade 5
Cons
- Requires proper technique to avoid overheating
- M14 fitting requires an angle grinder or specific adapter
- Not intended for use on non-tile masonry materials
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, thread the M14 fitting directly onto your angle grinder spindle and ensure it is tightened securely. If using a cordless machine, ensure the tool has sufficient RPM capacity to utilize the vacuum brazed technology effectively. Compatibility extends to almost any standard M14 grinder. For care, do not force the drill into the tile; allow the diamonds to cut naturally to prevent thermal damage to the brazed tip. Periodically clear any dust buildup from the drill body, and store the bit in a protective case when not in use to maintain the sharpness of the diamond segments.
