Drilling holes in
porcelain tiles is a slow process. You should consider that
you are grinding a hole rather than drilling a hole.
This process can take between 4 seconds to 2 minutes depending
on the thickness and the hardness of the tile.
The Diamond Core Drill should be used at slow speeds and never
with hammer action. Low drill pressure and water lubrication
are vitally important.
The recommended drill speed for porcelain is between 600 800
rpm, Marble 800 1000 rpm and Granite 400 600 rpm.
Speed Kills: reduced drill speeds, low drill pressure and water
lubrication will extend drill bit life considerably.
When used properly a Diamond Drill should only be warm to the
touch following a drilling operation. Burn marks typically are
brown or blue at the tip of the drill, these indicate either
too fast a drill speed or too much pressure being used.
Water MUST always be used. The Diamond Drill contact point must
always be wet and the drill bit tip never too hot.
To ensure water reaches the drilling tip you need to intermittently
pump the drill every 20 seconds or so whilst drilling and
releasing more water as required. Insufficient water will lead
to problems and a reduced drill life. |

A
constant flow of water to the drilling tip can be
achieved by the use of the water tank pressure pump,
which runs a constant flow of water through centre
of drill, extracting material core inside of drill,
obtaining a professional finish. |

365Drills,
the world experts in tile hole cutting, have
developed the new sure way to drill tiles
perfectly, the patent pending Diamond Porcelain
Hollow Core Drilling System. |
|
|
the
advanced diamond tip drills a clean core through
the hardest tiles, including porcelain and
granite, without chipping or cracking. |
|
|
Our
Diamond Drills are aligned spot-on by our
self-centring drill guide, keeping the drill
on target and eliminating drill wander or
slip. |
|
|
The
guide has grip pads to hold the tile with
friction. |
|
|
Plus,
it is easy to use being slimline and is not
fitted with bulky water tanks |
