Hitachi 728026 5/16-Inch Diamond Core Bit
The Hitachi 728026 5/16-Inch Diamond Grit Drill Bit drills through glass, marble, class 5 porcelain, granite and slate. It significantly outperforms the standard carbide glass and tile bits on the market today, both in speed of drilling and the number of holes that can be drilled per bit. These bits feature raised lips with diamond grit particles that are uniquely sintered in place. This process allows the diamonds to adhere to the bit and not grind down as quickly as other sintering processes. To use freehand, the user accurately positions the bit at an angle to pilot the hole. A convenient core removal ejection slot pushes the core material out from the bit ensuring hole after hole can be drilled without delay. The Hitachi diamond grit drill bit bodies are constructed of hardened and tempered thin wall alloy steel. They require water lubrication during use. This can be simply applied with a spray bottle � producing a small puddle of water that is spiral fed down the reverse flute threads on the bit to continuously supply water to the cutting edge, cooling the but tip and extending its life. Additionally, if the hole is being drilled into a vertical surface, Hitachi offers a Drill Guide and Water Cooling System. The glass and tile bit measures 5/16-inches in diameter. The Hitachi 728026 5/16-Inch Diamond Grit Drill Bit is warranted to the original purchaser to be free from defect in materials and workmanship for a period of 30-days from the original purchase date.
