The Drilax 2.5mm Diamond Drill Bit Set has twenty 2.5mm (0.098") diamond-coated twist drill bits and a brass collet, so you can drill clean, precise holes in sea glass, seashells, gemstones, ceramic and porcelain with your rotary tool. Each bit has a 135° split-point twist tip that helps start the hole without walking, and diamond-coated flutes on an alloy steel body. Drill wet, at low speed and with light pressure, and turn beach finds into pendants, earrings and bracelets.

How To Use
How To Use
- Fit the Collet: Put the included brass collet in your rotary tool, insert the bit and tighten it securely.
- Keep It Wet: Drill with the piece and bit under water or with a steady drip. Water keeps the tip cool, protects the piece and makes each bit last longer.
- Start at an Angle: Begin at an angle to cut a small notch so the bit doesn't walk, then slowly bring the tool upright.
- Light Pressure, Low Speed: Let the diamond do the work. Pushing hard or running fast and dry wears the coating quickly and can crack delicate pieces.

F.A.Q.
F.A.Q.
Q: What size hole does it drill?
A: Each bit drills a 2.5mm hole (about 0.098"). All 20 bits are the same size.
Q: Will it fit my Dremel?
A: Yes. Use the included brass collet to hold the bit in Dremel and other rotary tools, flex shafts and rotary drill stands.
Q: Do I need to use water?
A: Yes. Drill wet, with the piece under water or a steady drip. Water keeps the diamond coating cool, protects delicate materials from cracking and makes each bit last longer.
Q: How do I stop the bit from slipping on glass?
A: Start at an angle to cut a small notch, then bring the tool upright slowly once the hole has started.
Q: How long does each bit last?
A: Small diamond bits wear with use, which is why they come in multi-bit sets. Drilling wet, at low speed and with light pressure keeps each tip cutting longer.
Q: What materials can I drill?
A: Sea glass, glass, seashells, gemstones, stone, rock, ceramic and porcelain.
Q: What can I make with them?
A: Earrings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces and other custom jewelry and craft pieces.
