What is a diamond hole saw used for?

A diamond hole saw is a precision cutting tool constructed from the hardest metal "diamond" for drilling holes or openings in hard materials like porcelain, glass, ceramic, stone, granite, slate, and fiberglass. The holes drilled can range from 8mm to 1500mm. It is coated with diamonds, unlike traditional hole saws with metal teeth. Due to its precision, the structural integrity of the cut surface is maintained. When used, the diamond drill passes water by its driving shaft for a dust-free working environment. It is operated horizontally or vertically based on the requirements. They are common tools in renovation and construction and are in various diameters for drilling intensity needs.

How to use a diamond hole saw

A pumping technique should be used when drilling holes with a diamond hole saw. It entails easing the diamond hole saw onto the cut or hole surface, then pulling the saw back, allowing water to penetrate and cool it, then putting it back into the hole again every 15 to 20 seconds. Cooling is essential to prevent overheating.
