Review: Excellent Quality, Great Value - As my desertcart user name may suggest, I work as an installer of ceramic tile and stone. I have been fortunate enough in recent years to work with many clients specifying high end materials in large scale custom installations. More and more, these jobs entail the use of large format porcelain ceramic floor and wall tiles. I love the look of these behemoth tiles (commonly 12 x 24 or larger) but they certainly present some challenges when striving for a neat, clean installation. The job I am currently finishing is a good example of these challenges, as the design features 12 x 24 shower walls in two showers with large, custom niches in both. Heavy gauge (3/8") tiles of this size can be very tough to work with, due in large part to the internal stresses which accumulate within the tiles themselves as they are double fired. Attempting to cut anywhere near the edges very often ends in failure as the internal stresses relieve themselves with a sudden, uncontrolled crack. Even harder still is the job of cutting a large diameter hole to accommodate a shower control valve. I have always used a 4" diamond edged wheel in an angle grinder to make these cutouts in the past. I've had instances where I've had two or three tiles break before I have finally gotten the piece right. That can get expensive, and I have adopted the policy of not making any more than three attempts without at least taking a break and/ or trying something different. On this particular job, after breaking a record four tiles attempting to make that large hole, I looked online for an alternative. This 4 1/2" hole saw is exactly the right diameter to accommodate the shower valve seal that comes with the Schluter Shower System, which I try to use in every shower I do. It came in two days, and the price was significantly less than I pay for similar bits of much lesser diameter. I was skeptical. I am very practiced in using hole saws in tile, so the set up for me was easy. There is no central pilot drill in these bits, so one must use other methods to keep the bit from wandering whilst starting the hole. You also must use a low RPM drill and keep the work and the bit wet. Go slowly. Long story short....it worked flawlessly on the very first attempt. Neat edged hole through rock hard porcelain tile very near to the edge of a 12 x 24 tile. Highly recommended.
Review: Worked well on 3/8" large format tile - Used to cut a 4" hole in a 6' x 3' 3/8" porcelain tile for the shower mixing valve... Worked great - secured the hole guide with 2 pieces of wood clamped to the tile, the guide does not hold water on it's own, so just ran a hose on low slowly over the cutting area during cutting. Cut a practice hole first... looks like the hold saw diamond bits are still in good shape (I did it slow & steady, maybe 3-5 mins per hole), so will keep to use again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this cut concrete?**
A: Yes, but keep in mind the bit is not very deep, maybe an inch to 1-1/4".  If your hole is any deeper, you'll need a cold chisel to chip the slug out once you bottom the bit out.

**Q: would this be good for cutting lexan?**
A: I don't think it would work well. A regular wood hole saw should cut lexan

**Q: Will this drill drainage holes in ceramic planters?**
A: I used it on a ½ inch thick ceramic tile, and it cracked the tile first time. It is very tricky to use it on a planter, because the planter has to be somehow fixed on a table or some solid base, and as you drill, have someone spray water constantly – Don’t let it dry while drilling it. Also any movement may cause to break it.
I put the tile on plywood, and then I placed another sheet of plywood on top of the tile with a cut out hold, slightly larger than the size (4-inch) to drill through the hole on the tile, so it would not slide. Then I used clamps to hold them down on the surface of the table so it would not move or wobble. You would need to create something similar (cut out board) and fix it on the planter, then drill through the hole. 

I sprayed water constantly as I would drill. I did not push hard, instead, I drilled slowly holding the drill strait and evenly on all sides. It takes time, and you have to be patient.

**Q: Can it cut thru an 1/2 in marble. Thx**
A: I believe it can. I use it to cut 1/4 ceramic tile. Use plenty of water in the cut. Pull cutter out, water, cutter down. Do this often, go slow .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked well on 3/8" large format tile

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm probably using this harder than you and it did alright.
*by K***N on February 7, 2023*

I bought these to bore holes in 1.25" granite slabs. So far I have gotten two holes out of my first hole saw and while it is still cutting, it is cutting pretty slow at this point. If you are cutting tile or veneer stone, these are great, just keep water running on it and it'll cut perfectly. For granite slabs, I'm not sure I can recommend it unless you are ok spending on the order of 16 to 25 dollars per hole on hole saws and just assuming you'll be throwing them out. My only real complaint is that the advertised 1.25 max hole depth is not quite accurate. I'm finding that it bottoms out around 1-1.125" deep and I have to knock the core slug out from below (prevents edge tearout) and continue cutting. Not the end of the world, just slightly annoying. The hole saw did have a bit of a wobble to it like the shank was slightly bent but honestly I think it may have helped it cut and eject the debris better by applying a slight pumping motion to the water in the cut. I am buying another few of these as well as a cheaper brand (also on Amazon) to see if I can find out what the best bang for buck is on granite. My recommendation for getting these started is to line scrap lumber up at 90 degree angles right on the edge of the hole and clamp it to the work, as I've shown in one of my pictures. This gives you something to rest the hole saw against in both axes while you get it started instead of it trying to scoot around and scratching up your workpiece.
