Product Overview:

The Forgefix- Forgemaster 5.5mm x 100mm Tile Max Drill Bit, engineered with precision and durability in mind, is ideal for tackling a variety of materials. Its innovative asymmetric tip, crafted from high-quality diamond-ground tungsten, ensures effortless drilling through challenging surfaces such as PEl 5 class porcelain, ceramics, fine stoneware, marble, concrete, engineering brick, and granite. Built for both strength and versatility, this drill bit is heat-treated to provide extended durability.

This specialised drill bit features a unique asymmetric design that reduces resistance by 25%, preventing any wandering as you start drilling. It also reduces the likelihood of cracks or chips based on tile type, resulting in clean, perfectly round holes. The attachment method, a low-stress, high-temperature brazing technique, ensures that the tungsten tip remains securely fastened to the shank, even under extreme drilling conditions.

With a triangular-shaped shank, this bit guarantees a secure, non-slip grip within the drill chuck. Its deep, wide fluting optimises spoil removal, making it efficient even in demanding drilling scenarios. Unlike many other drill bits, this one requires no water cooling—simply operate it at a low speed to maximise performance. For convenience, it's supplied in a durable storage tube, keeping it protected and easy to locate.

What's Included:

• Dimensions: 5.5mm diameter, 100mm length.
• Storage Tube: Protects the drill bit when not in use, preventing loss and damage.
