Saber 16mm Diamond Hole Saw

Saber diamond hole saws cut clean round holes in glass, ceramic, porcelain, ceramic tile, fibreglass, slate, marble, granite and other natural and manufactured stone. Tilers, plumbers, glaziers and installers use them for tap, waste and pipe holes in hard, non-ferrous material. There are sixteen sizes from 16mm to 128mm, each sold singly.

A diamond hole saw drills out only part of the hole, so it cuts faster than a conventional blunt nose drill, but it grinds rather than drills and still takes time. Run it at slow speed with low pressure and plenty of water, and never use hammer action. A variable speed drill works best because you can pick the right speed. They have a maximum drilling depth of 13mm and suit hard, non-ferrous materials.
