FAQs

What type of tiles can this drill bit be used on?

This drill bit is designed for use on porcelain, marble, granite, and ceramic tiles.

Do I need to use water with this drill bit?

No, this drill bit is designed for dry drilling and has a self-lubricating wax core, eliminating the need for water.

What kind of drill is compatible with this bit?

This drill bit is compatible with most standard drills, including cordless models, with a universal chuck fitting.

How do I start drilling a hole?

Start at a slight angle to create a starting point, then bring the drill to a 90-degree angle to the tile.

How much pressure should I apply?

Apply gentle, steady pressure. Let the diamond tip do the work; do not force the bit.

What is the correct drilling speed?

Use a moderate speed setting on your drill. High speeds can overheat the bit and damage the tile.

How do I care for the drill bit?

Avoid excessive pressure. If the wax core is depleted, replace the bit. Ensure the bit is stored in a dry place.

What if the drill bit is not cutting?

Check your speed, pressure, and angle. Make sure the bit is sharp and in good condition. If the wax core is depleted, replace the bit.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not cutting effectively.

Check the drill speed and pressure. Ensure you are using a moderate speed and not applying too much pressure. Also, check for any obstructions and make sure the bit is not dull. If the wax core is depleted consider replacing the bit.

The tile is cracking during drilling.

Reduce the pressure and the drilling speed. Ensure you are drilling at a consistent speed and angle. If the tile is particularly hard, consider using a different drilling technique.

The drill bit is overheating.

Reduce the drilling speed and let the bit cool down. Allow the self-lubricating wax core to work, which helps reduce heat. Ensure the bit is making contact with the tile surface consistently.
