Over the past few years Dtas have been looking at this closely, and now with today's technology have found the answer, a good performance, fast cutting tile drill at a price that we can all afford, coupled with simple operation, this is a definite winner.
The Diamond Tipped Core drills are available separately, so that you can pick the sizes relevant to you, or if you can buy a set containing the most common hole size requirements. The bits are available in size options 5 to 35mm.
The system is very simple to use, and you can drill a hole in a hard tile in 7 seconds, try that with a standard drill bit!. The bit comes supplied in a pack with a water feed, this is placed above the drill bit, and mounted on the tile with the sucker pads supplied, the chamber is then filled with water, and when you are ready to drill your hole, just turn the water feed on. The design of the core bit is such, that the spiral below the diamond segment pulls the water into the cut, keeping the bit cool.
If you are unable to use the water feed, don't panic, use a wet cloth: wipe the cloth over the surface that you are going to drill, making it wet, start drilling, as soon as you see dry dust from the tile, stop drilling, remove the bit and wipe the wet cloth over the section, you can then start drilling again, repeat this process until your hole is done! Full instructions are provided on each bit supplied. Each drill bit is suitable for the following tiles:- Porcelain (grade 5), Quarry, Terracotta, Glazed, Terrazzo, Agglomerate, Cement & Glass
