DIAMOND TILE DRILL BIT 8MM

CorePlus Diamond Tile Drill Bit 8mm

Drill clean, accurate fixing holes through hard porcelain and ceramic tiles with the CorePlus 8mm Diamond Tile Drill Bit. Its vacuum-brazed diamond cutting edge is designed to cut dense tile surfaces efficiently while helping reduce chipping around the completed hole.

The bit can be started directly on the tile without requiring a separate drilling guide. Begin at an angle to establish the cutting edge, then gradually bring the drill upright as the hole develops. A tri-flat shank provides a secure grip in a standard drill chuck and helps reduce slipping during use.

Only minimal water cooling is required, removing the need for a continuous water-feed system. The hollow cutting profile also helps eject the drilled core for efficient repeated hole cutting.

Drilling Guidance

Mark the hole position and check for hidden pipes or cables behind the tile. Select rotary mode only—do not use the drill’s hammer action. Start with the bit held at an angle to form an initial groove, then slowly bring it upright while maintaining light, controlled pressure.

Use minimal water to cool the cutting edge and prevent overheating. Allow the bit to work without forcing it, and wear suitable eye protection throughout the operation.
