Stone, gemstones, rock, pebbles
Ceramic, porcelain, tiles, glazed pottery, plates
Shell, antler, bone, fossil
Hard wood.
How Long Will The Drill Bit Last? How Many Holes will One Drill Bit Make?
Your diamond drill bits lifetime will depend on many factors: speed, lubricant, pressure and
the density of the material you're using.
The same applies for drilling holes in china plates, we can estimate you may be able to drill
15 holes with one drill bit, maybe more, but it's difficult to really know the answer.
Why it is and Diamonds Coming Away?
If you smell burning, Either your speed is too high or the pressure you're applying is too
much. You're drill bit should never be hot to the touch, not even warm.
Start your speed off on the lowest speed setting of your drill. Begin slow and increase as the
drill bit goes through your material. However, ideally keep a consistently low speed.
If the speed is too high this will cause the drill bit to overheat and your material to crack. Plus
the drill bit will become dull quicker, therefore shortening the life of the drill bit.
If the diamonds chip away or fall away from the shank it is probably due to too much
pressure - let the drill do the work and apply very little pressure.
Remember:
Slowest speed
Coolant
Minimum pressure
Is It Safe To Use Water Near My Drill?
It goes without saying that extreme care should be taken when using your drill near water
When drilling any kind of material you should always wear goggles and protective wear to
prevent any flying bits of debris from causing injury. The same amount of care should be
applied when using water near your drill.
Water can either be fed onto your material via a pump, a running tap, a drip feed or you can
immerse your material in the water ensuring about 1cm covers the material you are going to
drill.
If you're drilling a tile on the wall you can squeeze the water onto the tile with a sponge.
Can I Drill Tempered Glass?
No. Please do not attempt to drill tempered glass with diamond drill bits, you will end up
with cracked glass.
