Diamond drill bit has a short service life? You may not pay attention to these 5 operating details!

Diamond drill bits are high-hardness tools, but if used improperly, their lifespan will be greatly shortened. Here are five practical suggestions for extending the life of drill bits:

Drill positioning holes before drilling: Use an auxiliary puncher or use a smaller drill bit to gently drill holes for positioning to prevent slippage and cause offset holes or broken edges.

Use low speed + constant pressure operation: Avoid high-speed and violent pressure during drilling. Keep low speed and stable downward pressure to reduce the temperature rise of the cutter head.

Cool with water throughout the process: Continuous dripping during drilling can effectively reduce the temperature and prevent the diamond from burning or falling off, especially for fragile materials such as tiles or glass.

Regularly remove drill debris: Lift the drill and clear the slag in time during intermittent drilling, which helps to drill smoothly and avoid jamming and burning the head.

Avoid idling and lateral force: Idleness can easily cause diamonds to wear too quickly, and lateral force may cause the drill bit to deviate or break.

Correct use can not only improve drilling efficiency, but also extend the service life of the drill bit by 2 to 3 times!
