Each hole has a smooth and accurate surface treatment, and the top of the hole is thickened to achieve excellent cutting strength. That makes it a high-quality bit. 

The Tile Hole Saw ranges from size 6 to 50 mm to meet various demands. It is also used on Drill Glass, Wood, Tile Bottles, Blocks Jars, Ceramic, Slate Mable, Granite Light Stone, and other hard surfaces. Keep adding water when the diamond drill bits work on the glass or ceramics. Low drill pressure and increased water lubrication will extend drill bit life.

Diamond Tipped Drill Bits 

DO NOT use diamond drill bits on metal, softwood, plaster, or soft plastic. These materials are too soft and will cause the diamonds on your drill bit to clog up. When drilling holes in soft metals, plastics, and wood, use High-Speed Steel drill bits (HSS), and for drilling holes in hard metals, use Carbide Drill Bits.
