Drilling outside this speed range will reduce the number of holes achievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the drill bits need water cooling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe drill bits need a constant flow of water at the tip through the entire drilling process. This is best achieved using an Armeg water feed kit (code:- PTCWFKIT).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quickly should I be able to produce a hole through a porcelain tile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA hole should be produced through a porcelain tile in seconds rather than minutes. Excessive drilling times are usually due to insufficient pressure being applied through the drilling process or incorrect speed setting on the power tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much pressure should I apply whilst drilling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSufficient pressure should be applied to keep the drill bit progressing through the tile (signified by tile dust being visible in the cooling water). Insufficient pressure will result in premature wearing of the carbide tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many holes can I expect to produce?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTypically in a grade 5 porcelain tile, 15-20 holes should be achievable. 50+ holes have been produced in lesser grades of porcelain. When the drill bits have been exhausted in porcelain they can still be used to drill softer tiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are there two drill bits in my plastic tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe drill bit with the red wax cover over the tip is the tile bit, the other is a professional quality masonry bit for producing the fixing hole behind the tile. Do NOT use the tile bit for drilling masonry!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes are available in PTC carbide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePTC carbide drill bits are available in 5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 8mm and 10mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat other materials can PTC carbide be used in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePTC carbide drill bits can also be used in Marble, Granite, Travertine, Natural Slate, Quarry Tiles, Ceramic Tiles, Natural Stone, Limestone, Rosemary Roof Tiles etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armeg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48206986346731,"sku":"9384","price":289.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/7374\/5643\/files\/armegptc_117.jpg?v=1781155498","url":"https:\/\/vektools.com.au\/products\/armeg-ptc-porcelain-tile-cutter-26mm-diamond-crown-starter-set-ptc26-0set-9384","provider":"VEK TOOLS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
