Diamond Drill Bits

Diamond drill bits are essential tools for glass and tile installers. With precision and efficiency, they effortlessly cut through hard surfaces, making clean and accurate holes for fixtures and fittings. These bits are a must-have for professionals, ensuring a smooth installation process and lasting results.

  • Purpose: Drill through hard, brittle materials like glass, tile, and stone.

  • Use: Essential for creating holes for fixtures in bathroom tiles or for intricate work on glass.

  • Feature: The tip is coated with tiny industrial-grade diamonds, allowing for precise and clean cuts without cracking the material.

Core Drill Bits

Core Drill Bits play a crucial role for glass and tile installers, particularly when they need to create large, precise holes in these delicate materials. These bits are specially designed with a hollow center, allowing them to remove a cylinder of material, rather than just drilling it away. This feature is particularly useful for glass and tile installers when they are tasked with fitting larger fixtures, such as shower heads, faucets, or pipes in bathroom and kitchen settings.

The cutting edge of Core Drill Bits is typically coated with diamond or carbide, providing the necessary hardness and precision to cut through tough glass and tile without causing cracks or breaks. This is essential, as both glass and tile can easily splinter or shatter with the wrong type of drill bit or drilling technique.

When working, installers carefully position the Core Drill Bit at the desired drilling point, often using a guide or template for accuracy. The bit then grinds away the material to create a clean, smooth hole of the required diameter. The hollow nature of the bit ensures that the heat generated during the drilling process is minimized, further reducing the risk of damage to the fragile glass or tile.

Overall, Core Drill Bits are indispensable in the toolkit of glass and tile installers, allowing them to accomplish tasks that require large hole drilling with precision and care, ensuring a high-quality finish in their installations.

  • Purpose: Remove a cylinder of material, typically larger in diameter.

  • Use: Used for large installations such as shower and faucet fixtures in bathrooms.

  • Feature: Hollow center to remove a core, usually diamond-coated for smooth cutting in tile and glass.
