The Drilax 1 Inch Vacuum Brazed Diamond Hole Saw drills clean, chip-free 1 inch holes in porcelain, ceramic, tile, granite, quartz, marble and glass. Industrial diamonds are vacuum brazed in a thick layer onto a solid steel body, so the bit cuts faster and lasts longer than standard electroplated hole saws. The taller body gives a 1-3/8 inch depth of cut, about 30% deeper than standard bits, so it goes through thick countertops and slabs in one pass. It is sized for small plumbing and fixture holes in tile and stone.

Benefits

Vacuum Brazed Diamonds: A thick diamond layer bonded to the rim for faster cutting and up to 5x longer life than electroplated bits.

1-3/8" Depth of Cut: About 30% deeper than standard bits, for 3 cm countertops and thick slabs in a single pass.

Side Cooling Slots: Let water in and debris out, and make it easy to push the core out.

3/8" Triangular Shank: Fits standard corded and cordless drills, and the flat sides keep it from slipping in the chuck.

Compatible Materials

  • Materials: Porcelain, ceramic, tile, granite, quartz, marble, natural stone and glass.
  • Tool Compatibility: Standard corded and cordless drills and drill presses.
  • Not For: Wood, metal, plastic or masonry block. Do not use hammer mode.

How To Use

  • Mark & Wet: Mark the hole position and spray or drip water on the work area.
  • Start at an Angle: There is no pilot bit. Hold the drill at a slight angle and drill slowly to cut a small C-shaped groove, or use a drill guide or a scrap-wood template.
  • Bring to Vertical: Slowly bring the drill upright and keep spraying or dripping water on the cut.
  • Light Pressure: Let the diamonds do the work. Don't push hard, and dip the bit in water every 20–30 seconds.

Use Cases

  • Bath & Kitchen: Holes for shower door hardware, towel bars and soap dispensers in tile.
  • Plumbing: Pass-throughs for 1/2 inch supply lines and PEX.

F.A.Q.

Q: What is the difference between vacuum brazed and electroplated hole saws?
A: Vacuum brazed bits have a thicker, stronger diamond layer, so they cut faster and last up to 5x longer than electroplated bits.
Q: Is it compatible with my drill?
A: Yes. The 3/8 inch triangular shank fits standard corded drills, cordless drills and drill presses with no adapter.
Q: Do I need water?
A: Yes. Keep the cut wet the whole time to cool the bit, control dust and get a clean, chip-free hole.
Q: How do I start without a pilot bit?
A: Start at a slight angle to cut a small groove, then bring the drill upright. A drill guide or a scrap-wood template with a matching hole also works.
Q: How thick a countertop can it drill?
A: The 1-3/8 inch cutting depth goes through standard 3 cm granite and quartz countertops in one pass.
