FAQs

What kind of drill do I need?

You need a high-speed corded drill with a minimum speed of 1800 rpm.

Do I need to use water with this drill bit?

No, the wax filling lubricates and cools the bit, so water is not required.

What materials can this bit cut through?

It can cut through porcelain, ceramic, stone tiles, and stone worktops.

How do I start drilling?

Place the bit on the tile surface, start at a low angle, and gradually bring the drill to a perpendicular position, applying gentle pressure.

What does the hex end do?

The hex end prevents the bit from slipping in the drill chuck.

How long will the bit last?

The bit's lifespan depends on the material and usage. The wax filling is consumed during use.

Troubleshooting

Bit not cutting effectively.

Ensure you are using a drill with the required speed (minimum 1800 rpm). Check for excessive pressure, as gentle pressure is recommended.

Bit slipping during drilling.

Check the drill chuck to make sure the bit is securely fastened and that the hex fitting is properly engaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No water required, simplifying the drilling process.
  • Cuts through a variety of tile types, including porcelain.
  • Hex end ensures a secure grip in the drill chuck.
  • Provides a clean and professional finish.
  • Suitable for use with various materials beyond just tiles.

Cons

  • Requires a high-speed corded drill (minimum 1800 rpm).
  • Performance may vary depending on the material's hardness.
  • The wax filling is consumed during use, so the bit is not designed for unlimited use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Drill Compatibility: Ensure you have a high-speed corded drill capable of a minimum of 1800 rpm. The bit has a hex fitting for secure chuck grip.
  2. Bit Insertion: Insert the bit into the drill chuck and tighten firmly.
  3. Drilling Technique: Place the bit on the tile surface at the desired location. Start drilling at a low angle and gradually bring the drill to a perpendicular position. Apply gentle pressure.
  4. Care: No special care is required; however, avoid excessive force. Once the wax filling is consumed, the bit's effectiveness will decrease.
