How To Use
How To Use
- Mark & Secure: Mark your center point on the tile. Use the included pilot drill bit to create a shallow 1/8-inch guide ring.
- Remove the Pilot: For best results and to prevent binding, remove the pilot bit after creating the guide ring. The diamond hole saw will use this ring to stay on track.
- Drill at Low Speed: Using a standard drill with a 3/8 inch chuck, apply steady, light pressure. Use a low RPM setting (300-500 RPM) and keep the area lubricated with water for cooling and dust control.
- Complete the Cut: Continue drilling until you cut through the material. The diamond grit does the work—let the tool's weight provide the pressure for a clean, precise finish.

F.A.Q.
Q: What materials can this diamond hole saw cut?
A: This bit is engineered for hard, brittle materials including ceramic tile, porcelain tile, marble, quartz, granite, and slate. It is not designed for wood, metal, or plastic.
Q: Is it compatible with my drill?
A: Yes. It features a standard 3/8-inch round shank, making it compatible with most standard corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses. No special adapter is needed.
Q: Why should I remove the pilot drill bit?
A: The pilot bit's sole purpose is to create a small starter guide ring. Removing it prevents the bit from binding in the material, reduces friction and heat, and allows the diamond core to cut more efficiently for a smoother, faster result.
