We got this for the bathroom remodel tile project. A pack of two diamond tip drill bits for porcelain tile, ceramic and stone. I’m putting up ceramic tile and need to drill holes for a shower door bracket. You can see from the photos that the hole has some small chips, which is inevitable with the glaze. It is structurally intact and fully suitable for my needs. The tiny instructions on the package back say to use a drop of water on the tile and start drilling at a 45 degree angle, straightening once the hold is started. I found from experience that if you attempt to start a hole from 90 degrees, the bit will skitter uncontrollably. Another case of follow instructions for best results.

Milwaukee Diamond Max Hole Saw Set – 2 piece… drills 1/4 inch hole in hard surfaces like tile or stone like granite… Be sure to wet the surface and begin by starting at 45 degree angle to start cutting in to the surface. Be sure to keep the surface wet to prevent heat build up… Oscillate the bit a little to allow water to seep into hole while drilling to keep the surface cool.

I love Milwaukee products and these bits are a perfect addition to my collection. They are great for work on tile, even very smooth tile (see the picture). Make sure you follow their directions when trying to drill into tile, you need to start it at a 45 degree angle. Once you get the bit started in the tile it cuts like a hot knife through butter.

The drills came quickly and were very well packaged. They were not damaged. I will be using them in my new house that is being build. They are just what is needed for making holes in tile, etc. for mounting fixtures and mirrors in the bathroom and kitchen. I will use them to drill oles in the kitchen to run the tubing for my water filter. Very useful and long lasting!

Milwaukee Diamond Max hole saw drill bit set features three drills that will cut through porcelain, stone, masonry, tile, and glass. Three sizes are included, 3/16 inch, ¼ inch, and 5/16 inch. Diamond embedded tips provide a smooth cutting action without the need for a hammer drill. Simply wet the surface, firmly hold the drill at a 45-degree angle to start a score on the surface, and then slowly rotate up to straighten the drill to complete the hole. These drills work with little effort and are quick. The hole is smooth with no chip out on the edges. Hardest part is starting the hole where you want it, keep a firm grip. Drills are rated to last up to 10 times longer than standard drills. They are versatile as the cut through a variety of hard materials. I dipped the drill in water a few times drilling deeper hole to help keep it lubricated and cool. The sizes will serve most of your needs for installing screws through tile or glass. This set made installing a shower surround an easier task. All the holes were perfect and took little time. They do generate dust and spent material, but overall not to messy. An excellent set for a good price. Quick connect compatible hex shank allows for quick drill/driver exchange.

This set of hole saws cuts holes in glass. The hole diameters are 3/16, 1/4 and 5/16 of an inch. The saw can be mounted in an electric drill provided that it has a slow speed. I practiced on a scrap of window glass and learned that it is best to use light pressure and keep the glass wet to wash away the powdered glass fragments. The instruction called for applying the tool at a forty five degree angle to start the hole and then slowly move to a vertical position. I found that I was able to make a hole within better than 1/32 of an inch accuracy. The glass should supported so as not to be stressed. I used several sheets of wet paper towel to support the glass and reduce the risk of breakage. The finished hole only showed minor chipping.

This Milwaukee Hole Saw set (#49-56-0500, Made in UK) includes 3/16”, 1/4” and 5/16” hole saws on roughly 1-1/2” long hollow shafts designed for use in standard drill/drivers. The shaft includes a cut-out for waste, which turned out to be essential for removing the stone and tile debris generated from my cuts. The instructions, printed in TINY font, say to spray the surface with water and start the cut at a 45 degree angle. I could not start the cut where I wanted – the saw wandered as soon as power was applied or as soon as the spinning tip touched the surface (I tried both ways). I could not get a really clean entry hole in either stone or tile, and the chip out in the exit hole of the stone was pretty severe. Chip-out was not so bad with the tile, probably due to a more consistent density of material in the man-made porcelain tile. Once the hole was started, the wet stone or tile debris formed a slurry that quickly clogged the shaft, creating a rock-hard barrier to further drilling. Drilling itself was fairly fast, but I found it necessary to clean the shaft several times during the drilling process, especially drilling the 3/8” thick rock. Cleaning it out required repeated prying and poking with a nail under running water. It actually took longer to clean out the shaft than drill the holes. My only previous experience with small-diameter holes in tile is with the arrow-shaped metal cutters, and they were easier to start and control but not as durable. Oddly enough, larger holes through granite countertops were also easier and faster since no clean-out was needed during the process – though the dust/debris generation was far worse. I feel you get strong, durable hole cutters at a decent price with this set if you need to make small holes in stone or tile. I can recommend them, but practice starting holes before drilling anything critical.

My wife asked me to copy a project she saw somewhere, It was Wind chimes made from glass bottles. Well I wondered how to cut/drill holes in glass and the Milwaukee diamond max bit was my answer. These are tubular, diamond impregnated bits. I got the 1/4″ size. I tried them out on an old mason jar bottom and it cut a nice clean hole. I followed the recommended method of dampening the surface, then starting the hole at a 45 degree angle and rocking back and forth. It worked fine for me.

These work great, I had ceramic tile in the bathroom I had to drill through in order to mount the toilet flange. I used this smaller one to make a pilot hole then went bigger with another bit. Getting it started was the tricky part, it wanted to walk around, so I made a jig out of a piece of wood then placed it over the opening and started drilling. Once it breaks through the outer coating it went through very quickly. I also used it to drill through brick above the fire place to mount the wedge cleat for new mantle.

It is a nice alternative to a traditional bit. You will need to practice to avoid walking the bit, though.Overall I found these bits to be easier and faster in drilling holes in tile. However, it took some practice to avoid walking the bit on starting. You can watch me make that mistake in my attached video at the end of this review. Overall, everything seemed cooler and quicker. You just have to get used to a different mind set in drilling since this is a mini hole-saw, instead of the traditional center rod drill.Made in Taiwan

This Milwaukee diamond saw kit is excellent. It can be difficult to make small precision holes in tile and these totally fit the bill. I used these in porcelain tile and they worked great. It helps to put painters tape down first and mark the tape to prevent chipping. Start the bit at 45 degree angle and rotate it up to 90 degrees and then drill through. Worked great for me.

These bits are very helpful for use on drilling, etching or grooving metal (Iron), ceramic, tile or concrete. They are exceptionally sharp on the edges and will cut through the above listed items without much force having to be applied by the user. When grooving a straight groove you must be steady or have a guide that will help you keep the groove straight because if you wander the slightest bet the bit will groove where you do not want. These bits may not be for the average household handy man.

When cutting holes in hard material like stone, glass, or ceramic tile it can be difficult to cut cleanly and precisely while not cracking or damaging the surrounding surface. This Milwaukee Diamond Max 1/4 inch Hole Cutter 2 Pk does the job easily in a variety of materials that also includes granite and porcelain. The recommended technique is a bit different and involves beginning the cut with the bit at 45 degrees, then slowly pivoting to 90 degrees as the bit starts to penetrate the surface. After several practice cuts, however, most DIYers should be able to make clean, accurate holes every time. I am pleased with this product and highly recommend it!

If you are going to use these drills in a drill press or similar machine then these are just fine. If you are using these drills in a hand held drill motor and need to have an accurate location, good luck. Since there is no pilot on these for accurate location of the hole you have to start boring with your drill at a 45 deg. angle and then slowly tilt up until you are perpendicular to the surface you are drilling. This makes it very hard to get an accurate location for the hole as the drill tends to want to walk as your are starting the hole. Other than that the drill bored a clean hole and it held up well. Once the hole is bored, it is somewhat difficult, especially in such a small drill, to remove the core left in the center of the drill bit. I am sure these drills have there place for good use but if I am drilling any holes for installing shower doors or the such, I prefer the carbide tile drill bits with the pointed end.

I received my Milwaukee Diamond Max hole saw set. There are 3 pieces in this set. The sizes are 3/16, 1/4 & 5/16. I went to my local tile store for a porcelain tile to try them out. It was kind of hard to get the cutter started. I used my Milwaukee 1/4 drive hex compact Brushless impact driver. The hole saws fit it perfectly. I set the speed on low and used a little water. It did a great job drilling the 1/4 inch hole. I have used other drills for this but these Milwaukee Diamond cutters are awesome.

I do a lot of tile work and needed a new set of bits to drill holes for hanging towel bars, shower doors, and curtain rods. I liked the fact that there were three different sizes so I could use a variety of anchors or simply drill screws into wood themselves. These bits drill quickly and efficiently if you start them at a right angle as suggested you will not scratch the tile. I will definitely purchase another set when these get worn out. I haven’t drilled but four holes but the bits don’t seemed to be dulling at all. I also like the 1/4″ shank which allowed me to install directly into the drill.

This Milwaukee Diamond MAX Hole Saw Set is just the ticket for drilling holes in tile, porcelain, granite, etc. I used one to drill a ¼ in hole in a piece of tile as used in a bath surround. What a difference from the pointed carbide tipped drills of the past. This new Diamond MAX Hole Saw is much better. Getting it started is VERY easy and it makes a nice, clean hole. I really like these hole saws! I think I’ll want to get them in some other sizes.

Did the job, no problems just make sure to clean out debris in bit.

It always make the job go easier when you have the right tools. This is a good product to have in your tool box because it can go through tile or stone. Starting the hole is a little difficult because you need to hold the drill at a 45 degree angle until the hole starts. You have to watch your progress or your hole saw can start drifting. I cut through a 3/8″ tile and had a slight drift in the hole. Time will tell how long it will last, but so far it has retained its ability to cut.
