The Porcelain Cyclone was specifically designed for drilling quickly and efficiently through porcelain, masonry, and other hard surfaces for a variety of applications. Its speed and durability distinguish it from other standard carbide masonry bits. With a specially formulated mix of metals and a superior designed carbide tip, the Porcelain Cyclone makes installations quicker and easier and, therefore, more profitable.

Instructions (for maximum durability)
1: DIP IN WATER before drilling and about every 5 seconds during drilling (more often when going through harder materials). We find dipping in water is more effective at cooling the Porcelain bits than spraying.
2: FIRM PRESSURE: Let the bit do the work – Do not apply excessive pressure. Place the drill bit on the specified mark, apply pressure, listen for a slight CRUNCH, and start your drilling process. Drill straight into the hole and do not wiggle drill.
3: USE PROPER DRILLING SPEED: Cyclone: 600 rpm and slowed down while breaking through the hole.
4: The Cyclone can be used in a Handheld or Hammer Drill.
5: Do not use dull or damaged bit.
6: Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during use and when handling bit.
