Tork Craft Diamond Core Bit — 12 mm for Tiles

This 12 mm diameter diamond core bit from Tork Craft is built for precision hole-drilling through tough surfaces including ceramic tiles, grade-5 porcelain, marble, granite and slate. Featuring high-quality diamond segments that cut faster and cleaner than conventional bits, this core bit is a top-choice for plumbing, electrical, drainage or decorative penetrations in tiling and stone work. Usage with water / coolant is essential to maximise performance and lifespan.

The diamond core bit is used to drill holes in:

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Grade 5 porcelain (hardest)
  • Granite
  • Glass
  • Slate

Extra Information

  • Designed specifically for tile and stone — ceramic, porcelain (including grade 5), marble, slate and granite.
  • Mandatory use of water (wet drilling) or coolant to prevent overheating of the diamond segments. No hammer or impact mode — rotary only.
  • When starting a hole, begin at 45° angle on edge and then ease to vertical for best penetration and minimal damage.
  • Check your drill’s rotations per minute (RPM) for 40 mm diameter bits to ensure safe, optimal cutting.

An indication of the correct spindle speed:

DIAMOND CORE BIT DIAMETER SPINDLE SPEED
Ø5.0mm 800 rpm
Ø6.0mm 600 rpm
Ø7.0mm 500 rpm
Ø8.0mm 500 rpm
Ø10.0mm 400 rpm
More than Ø10.0mm (>10.0mm) less than 400 rpm

Pro Tip

  • Use a small amount of water or a wet sponge at the drill point to keep the bit cool and reduce tile glazing blow-out. Start at a low rpm and increase only when stable.

Features

  • 12 mm diameter — ideal for larger through-holes in tile, stone or masonry.
  • Premium diamond segment cutting edge — built to handle hard materials like marble, granite and porcelain.
  • Lightweight body for easier handling.
  • Fits standard drill chucks or compatible with tile/stone drilling rigs (check arbor thread).
  • Water-coolable design recommended to prevent overheating and extend diamond life.

Benefits

  • Efficient cutting: Diamond segments allow faster penetration through hard surfaces, saving time.
  • Smoother holes: Produces clean edge holes in tile/stone, reducing chipping and rework.
  • Versatile applications: From commissioning of plumbing and drainage in tiled walls to decorative stone installations, this bit handles them reliably.
  • Durable build: The use of diamond-cutting edge and careful construction extends tool lifespan and lowers replacement cost.
  • Better control: Designed for tile/stone applications to give you stability and precision in demanding conditions.

Safety

  • Wear eye, ear and dust protection when drilling tile or stone surfaces.
  • Secure the workpiece and ensure the drill is held firmly—rotating cores can catch and spin the tile if unsecured.
  • Operate in rotary (non-hammer) mode only; hammer mode will damage the bit and the surface.
  • Constantly supply water or coolant when drilling to prevent overheating of diamond segments and avoid failure.
  • Inspect the diamond segments before and after use; if segments are chipped or missing, replace the bit to avoid unsafe operation.
