00:00If you've ever tried drilling into ceramic tile with a regular bit, you already know the sound, that awful screech,
00:05followed by a crack, and suddenly you're driving back to the tile store.
00:09Yeah, been there.
00:11So I went digging and found 5 diamond hole saws that actually cut clean holes without wrecking your tile, and
00:17honestly, the prices on these surprised me.
00:20Let's get into it.
00:22First up is the 3-100mm glass hole saw with the diamond-coated crown.
00:27What I like about this one is the range, you can grab a tiny 6mm bit for a screw anchor,
00:32or go big for a shower mixer, and it's the same style of bit either way.
00:36The diamond coating goes right up the sidewall, so if your angle drifts a little, you're not instantly chewing the
00:42edge of your hole.
00:43It's $3.25.
00:46Over 4,000 sold, sitting at a 4.8 rating.
00:50For that price, honestly, just grab a couple sizes and keep them in the drawer.
00:55Now if you'd rather not guess which size you need, this next one is the Smartmube, a 10 or 15
01:00-piece set covering 3-50mm.
01:03This is the one I'd actually recommend to most people.
01:07You get the whole ladder of sizes in a little case, and when you're mid-project and realize the anchor
01:12needs a hair more clearance, you just reach over and grab the next size up.
01:16No stopping, no ordering, no waiting.
01:19$9.79 for the set, and it's got the highest rating in this lineup at 4.9 from over 4
01:25,000 buyers.
01:26That's about a dollar a bit.
01:28Easy call.
01:30Number 3 is a bit of a different animal, an M10 Brazed Diamond Corbett, 6-100mm, and this one runs
01:37dry.
01:38Brazed is the key word there.
01:41Instead of just coating the outside with diamond grit, the diamond is bonded into the segment itself, so as it
01:46wears down, fresh cutting edge keeps coming through.
01:49That means it lasts a lot longer on hard stuff like porcelain and granite, where cheap coated bits just go
01:54bald after a few holes.
01:57$4.60
01:58If you're doing porcelain tile specifically, the really dense stuff, this is the one I'd reach for.
02:04Fourth is the dry diamond core bit with the M14 thread.
02:08And that thread matters more than you'd think, because M14 is the standard on most angle grinders.
02:14So if you've got a grinder sitting in the garage, this screws straight on and you get way more speed
02:19and control than a wobbly drill setup.
02:21Great for granite countertops, marble thresholds, anything thick and stubborn.
02:265.63, 4.8 stars, almost 3,000 sold.
02:31If you own a grinder, this is a no-brainer add-on.
02:35And last, the round shank core bit that goes all the way up to 200mm.
02:40That's the biggest range here by a mile, we're talking holes big enough for recessed lighting or a proper drain
02:45cutout.
02:46The round shank means it drops into any standard drill chuck, no adapters, no special anything.
02:52And it's the cheapest one on the list at $2.98, with a 4.9 rating.
02:57If you've got one weird oversized hole to cut and you don't want to spend 20 bucks on a bit
03:01you'll use once, this is your answer.
03:04All five links are down in the description, and I've matched them up in the same order so you're not
03:09hunting around.
