Porcelain Tile Drill BitsThe Solution To Making Holes In Porcelain Tiles
Our range of high quality porcelain core drill bits are specifically designed to make holes in very hard substances such as porcelain. These bits are diamond sintered (as opposed to plated) and have a cutting tip of approximately one cm. Because these bits have sintered cutting tips, as the bit wears new diamond crystals are continually exposed. This always maintains the best possible cutting edge at all times. These are not use once or twice and then throw away bits. Properly used as instructed, they will last for up to 30 holes. This represents an extremely good value for money item. Porcelain tiles are becoming more and more popular and are projected to become more so in the foreseeable future. Sales are expected to double within the next ten years. This is not surprising considering the capacity of these tiles to maintain their 'as new' finish in high traffic areas. Moreover, the clean, blemish free surface fits perfectly with modern styling. The use of this type of tile does present a very real problem for installers, whether they be tiler, plumbers or DIY. There are very few products that can easily make holes in this type of superhard tile. Most commonly available hardware drill bits do not even mark the surface let alone make a hole. Even the ones that do will take 30 minutes or more to complete a hole. On average a bathroom requires 30 holes for sanitary ware and fixtures (towel rails etc.). This would represent a time cost of 30 * 30 mins at best. Neither client nor installer is going to be happy drilling holes for a day and a half! Cutting times are much reduced, a 6mm bit will complete the hole in less than two minutes and a 12 mm bit in about four minutes. Available drill sizes are 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12mm, 20 mm, 27 mm Drill bits are available for online ordering from our shop.

Diamond SinteringDiamond due to its unique hardness among natural occuring substances is an ideal cutting tool. It does however posses one weakness. It will shear or cleave if sufficient force is applied to certain planes. The sintering process overcomes this issue by randomly orientating diamond crystals in another coherent structure. The crystals are embedded in the substance of the cutting tip, ensuring the best and fastest possible cutDiamond PlatingThis technique is where diamond crystals are plated to the outside edge of the tool. As such is a far less rugged application since the crystals are more easily displaced from the holding structure. |
