| Q: I see other systems cool the drill with a hi-tec water jet and delivery pump. Where is yours? A: Why bother with expensive and cumbersome bottles, sprays, jets, pumps, feed lines when you already have a bucket of water and a sponge to hand. Secondary water systems waste your time filling the tank, setting up, storage and costs money.. If you love gadgets and gizmos - fine. Remember you are drilling a hole not performing major heart surgery. Dont forget the more water you pour onto a site the more mess you make and need to clear up ! Q: Do I need any water? A: Yes you need SOME but will be surprised how little is actually required. Just a splash per hole is enough. You need it to: 1.Remove heat in the drill. Cold drills work better to a maximum of luke warm. Hot drills are bad news... wetting the bit with water is enough to keep it cool. Its that easy! 2. Reduce dust. Contain in a sponge then wipe tile surface to remove residue. That's it ! | ![]() |
| Q: Why do other systems spray a continuous jet of water? A: Those systems rely on a central "carbide steel pilot" to guide the core. The pilot will blunt if it gets hot. To prevent burn out a water jet must be used continuously. Q: Are there obvious advantages for a 365drill kit ? | ![]() |
