Tile drill bit DRAUMET 8 mm, hex shank — for ceramic and porcelain tiles

Professional diamond crown drill bit for dry and wet drilling, designed for making holes in ceramic and porcelain tiles, terracotta, marble, granite and natural stone. The DRAUMET 8 mm hex shank drill bit provides fast, precise drilling with minimal chipping thanks to a vacuum-brazed diamond layer on a steel body, offering increased performance and extended service life. The shank is a hex type suitable for standard drill chucks that accept hex shanks.

Advantages

The vacuum-brazed diamond coating on a steel core delivers high resistance to temperature, friction and mechanical wear, ensuring consistent cutting performance. The 8 mm diamond crown produces accurate, clean holes with reduced chipping on brittle materials. The hex shank provides secure grip and quick bit changes in compatible drills.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Working with terracotta and terracotta tiles
• Drilling marble and granite for installations

How to use

Mount the 8 mm hex shank diamond crown into a compatible drill with a hex chuck or adapter. For best results, start drilling at low speed to position the bit, then increase speed moderately while applying steady, light pressure. Use water cooling for wet drilling to reduce heat and extend bit life; for dry drilling, work in short intervals to avoid overheating. Maintain perpendicular alignment to the tile surface to achieve a clean hole.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves and dust mask). When drilling fragile tiles, secure the workpiece and consider backing the tile to reduce chipping. Match drill speed and cooling method to the material being drilled to maximize bit lifespan.
