Description of Hitachi 729408 1-Inch Diamond Grit Drill Bit

The Hitachi 729408 1-Inch Diamond Grit Drill Bit will drill through glass, marble, class 5 porcelain, granite and slate. They significantly outperform 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. The process allows the diamonds to adhere to the bit and not grind down as quickly as other sintering processes. 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 bit tip, and extending its life. This bit is ideal for contractors, serious do-it-yourselfers, machine shops, and mechanics. Hitachi offers the best durability and speed for general purpose drilling applications and has a complete line of professional bits for wood, metal, plastic and light masonry drilling. The Hitachi 729408 1-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.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi 729408 1-Inch Diamond Grit Drill Bit

Customer Review: Nice hole in porcelain
Summary: 5 Stars

Being a first timer tiling a tub surround, I was pleased to be able to achieve two perfect 1" holes in porcelain tile for the top and bottom spigots. Please note .... this bit has no center guide point or pilot so you need to use some kind of method to keep it in place at least while getting started. I used a drill press (thanks, Dad) on medium speed while feeding plenty of water onto the tile, but there are also jig set-ups available for using a hand drill. I suppose one could even cut a 1" hole in plywood and clamp that to the tile for a guide.

Anyways, it easily cut hard porcelain; not sure just how many holes one could drill for this price. Probably quite a few especially if lots of water is always used. Nice and easy now, don't force it too fast!
