3/8 inch Shank Size
Can be used with Handheld or Upright Drillers
Drilax tools don't require center pilot holes, ideal for drilling up to 1 1/4" deep with superior performance and lifetime.
Shank size is 3/8" - common electric or rechargeable drillers can be used.
Electroplated diamond coating will wear off if the tool gets too hot. Never let your drill bit run dry. Here is how you could use water to keep the tool cool:
a- You can build a mini water dam around the hole with plumbers putty.
b- You can choose to spray water on the drill bit.
c- Or you can use running water to cool the drill bit.
EASY TO USE
Center pilot drill bits are for wood, metal, etc.; Here is how you can keep the drill bit on target:
a- You can make your own guide out of plywood - plastic or even a card board. All you need is to keep the drill bit in place until it makes the initial marks.
b- You can start drilling at an angle, with the edge of the drill bit making a C slot and then getting the drill bit up to vertical.
c- You can manually guide the drill bit with wet sponge. The diamond coating is designed to withstand heat and stay sharp, while the included guide allows for precise drilling with minimal effort. The combination of the two features allows for maximum efficiency and accuracy with each use.
Please use protective gear.

Oran: Awesome Tool!
I needed to cut a drain hole in tile plank. I made a wood template with a regular hole saw and centered it over my drain site. I kept the diamond hole saw wet during the cut. It took just a few minutes.

Tim the Tile Guy: Excellent Quality, Great Value
As my Amazon user name may suggest, I work as an installer of ceramic tile and stone. I have been fortunate enough in recent years to work with many clients specifying high end materials in large scale custom installations. More and more, these jobs entail the use of large format porcelain ceramic floor and wall tiles. I love the look of these behemoth tiles (commonly 12 x 24 or larger) but they certainly present some challenges when striving for a neat, clean installation.The job I am currently finishing is a good example of these challenges, as the design features 12 x 24 shower walls in two showers with large, custom niches in both. Heavy gauge (3/8") tiles of this size can be very tough to work with, due in large part to the internal stresses which accumulate within the tiles themselves as they are double fired. Attempting to cut anywhere near the edges very often ends in failure as the internal stresses relieve themselves with a sudden, uncontrolled crack. Even harder still is the job of cutting a large diameter hole to accommodate a shower control valve.I have always used a 4" diamond edged wheel in an angle grinder to make these cutouts in the past. I've had instances where I've had two or three tiles break before I have finally gotten the piece right. That can get expensive, and I have adopted the policy of not making any more than three attempts without at least taking a break and/ or trying something different. On this particular job, after breaking a record four tiles attempting to make that large hole, I looked online for an alternative.This 4 1/2" hole saw is exactly the right diameter to accommodate the shower valve seal that comes with the Schluter Shower System, which I try to use in every shower I do. It came in two days, and the price was significantly less than I pay for similar bits of much lesser diameter. I was skeptical.I am very practiced in using hole saws in tile, so the set up for me was easy. There is no central pilot drill in these bits, so one must use other methods to keep the bit from wandering whilst starting the hole. You also must use a low RPM drill and keep the work and the bit wet. Go slowly.Long story short....it worked flawlessly on the very first attempt. Neat edged hole through rock hard porcelain tile very near to the edge of a 12 x 24 tile.Highly recommended.

Great product! Great price! Absolutely no complaints.
Dj: It worked great. Only took a few seconds to cut through ...
It worked great. Only took a few seconds to cut through my tile and grout. Made a nice clean hole to run my dryer vent. It is a wet saw so I had my wife dripping water from a glass.
Carol Nace: These work great for contractors doing multiple tile jobs
These work great for contractors doing multiple tile jobs. Will cut all types of tiles and have used it on granite. Quick, smooth, and easy to use. Just make a template board.
Marcia Formica: hooked up easily to the drill press
Needed this to cut a hole for a floor drain in ceramic tile for a laundry room. Got here in a day, hooked up easily to the drill press, and it worked like a charm.
