The Bordo Diamond Mist Drill System consists of a water feed drill body which is used in conjunction with a water bottle swivel set or a pressure water bottle.
Replaceable diamond cutters affix to a non-wearing shank which joins the cutters to the water feed body.
The Bordo range of diamond drills are ideally suited to cutting ceramics, porcelain tiles and stone.
They produce no-crack, burr-free holes with minimum spalling.
The interchangeable cutters result in a lower cost per hole than some other diamond drill solutions.
Rotary only action ensures low noise and vibration.
Diamond mist drills are designed to deliver the correct amount of lubrication to maximise drill life and optimise drilling performance.
Cutter size 5.0 to 10.0mm Rotation Speed 15000 to 3000 RPM.
Cutter size 11.0 to 24.0mm Rotation Speed 7000 to 1500 RPM.
These Rotary Only ceramic tile drills provide outstanding performance and extended tool life in hard ceramic materials.
Unique cutting edge geometry in conjunction with high temperature brazing to ensure reliable and accurate drilling in multiple hole applications.
Use of water cooling will extend bit life.
Although these drill bits are not recommended for drilling vitrified porcelain, their superior multi-facet tungsten carbide tip enables them to drill most materials of this type, albeit with a reduced tool life.
These ceramic tile drills can also be used to successfully drill in brick, concrete and other masonry materials.

Tungsten Carbide 4 Cutter Glass and Tile Drill Set
Precision diamond ground, double chamfered spear point tungsten carbide for fast cutting and extreme tool life (when used at slow to medium speeds).
Fast starting with reduced bit wander.
Suitable for use in: glazed and un-glazed ceramic tiles, glazed porcelain tiles, through-body porcelain tiles, plate (float) glass and annealed glass.
Not suitable for use with toughened or laminated safety glass.
Use a slow speed with steady but gentle pressure.
Reduce the pressure at break through.
For increased bit life use a cutting fluid/lubricant such as water or turpentine to reduce heat.
When drilling multiple holes in ceramic tiles, or when drilling vitrified porcelain, we recommend using either Bordo ceramic tile drills, the Bordo mist drill product range or Brilliant Diamond core drills.
Tungsten Carbide (commonly referred to as Carbide) is a chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms.
Carbide is three times stiffer than steel and is much denser than either steel or titanium.
Carbide has a very high abrasion resistance and can also withstand higher temperatures than standard HSS.
Carbide tools are often used for machining hard materials such as ceramics and stainless steel, as well as in situations where other tools would wear away, such as high volume production runs.
Because carbide tools maintain a sharp cutting edge better than other tools, they generally produce a better finish on parts, and their temperature resistance allows faster machining.
Whilst tungsten carbide is extremely hard it is also brittle so it is important to avoid bit “chattering” as this is the most common cause of tool failure.
