Frequently Asked Questions

Can Rubi drill bits be used with standard power drills?

Yes, Rubi drill bits are compatible with standard rotary drills operating at 240v mains power or cordless models. For best results, use variable speed settings and start at lower RPMs to establish the hole before increasing speed.

Do I need to use water when drilling with Rubi bits?

Whilst many Rubi drill bits can operate dry for short periods, using water cooling significantly extends bit life and prevents thermal damage to both the bit and the tile surface. For porcelain drilling, water cooling is strongly recommended.

What's the lifespan of a Rubi drill bit?

With proper use and cooling, a quality Rubi diamond drill bit can create anywhere from 50 to 200+ holes depending on material hardness and drilling conditions, substantially outperforming standard masonry bits on tile applications.
