TORK CRAFT DIAMOND CORE BIT 38MM FOR TILES IN SOUTH AFRICA

Ø38mm Diamond core bit Application: The diamond core bit is used to drill holes in: Ceramic tiles Marble Grade 5 porcelain (hardest) Granite Glass Slate The diamond core cuts faster, smoother and lasts longer than any other core drills. How to use the diamond core bit: The diamond core drill bit must be used with water at all times when drilling. The water serves as a coolant to prevent the diamonds from overheating. The maximum allowable temperature for a diamond core bit is 500°C. There is no pilot drill with the diamond core bit. A low rpm rotary drill with a planetary gearbox is required to be used with a diamond core bit. It is possible to use a cordless drill, but in the lowest gear setting. No hammer action is used. Tightly fasten the diamond core bit in the drill"s chuck. Keep the bit steady at a 45° angle with the starting point on the edge of the assigned area to be drilled whilst the bit is rotating. A notch will be made (this is normal). Gradually move the drill from 45° to 90° and continue drilling until finished. Allow the diamond core bit to cool down completely before proceeding to drill another hole. Water can be applied by: spraying water on the surface, using a wet sponge, attaching a water feed device. This is necessary when drilling into a wall tile. Please have a look at the video in the tabs above showing how to use the diamond core bit. An indication of the correct spindle speed: DIAMOND CORE BIT DIAMETER SPINDLE SPEED Ø5.0mm 800 rpm Ø6.0mm 600 rpm Ø7.0mm 500 rpm Ø8.0mm 500 rpm Ø10.0mm 400 rpm More than Ø10.0mm (>10.0mm) less than 400 rpm IMPORTANT: The tool life will mostly depend on the proper usage and the hardness of the items drilled into. It is normal for a diamond core bit to last up to 10 or more drilled holes in hard tiles. Please remember to always use water when drilling with diamond core bits.
