Sintered Drill Bits

Sintered Diamond Drill Bits – Long-Life Precision Drilling for Gemstones & Hard Stone

Sintered diamond drill bits feature diamond particles embedded throughout the entire metal matrix — not just surface-coated — delivering significantly longer service life and consistent cutting performance on gemstones, glass, tile, granite, and other hard materials. Ideal for professional lapidary drilling, jewelry making, and industrial applications where bit longevity and precision are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What is the difference between a sintered and an electroplated diamond drill bit?
    A: Sintered drill bits have diamond particles embedded throughout the full metal matrix, so they continue to cut as the bit wears down. Electroplated bits have a single layer of diamond on the surface — once that layer wears away, the bit is spent. Sintered bits offer significantly longer service life for demanding applications.
  • Q: Do sintered drill bits require water cooling?
    A: Yes. Water cooling is essential for sintered diamond drill bits to prevent overheating, extend bit life, and produce clean, precise holes. Never run sintered bits dry on stone, glass, or ceramic.
  • Q: What materials can sintered drill bits cut?
    A: Sintered diamond drill bits are suitable for gemstones, agate, jasper, granite, marble, glass, porcelain tile, ceramic, and other hard materials (Mohs 5+).
  • Q: What RPM should I use for sintered drill bits?
    A: Lower RPM with consistent water flow is recommended for most sintered drill bits. Smaller diameter bits (under 3mm) can run at higher speeds; larger core bits should run slower. Always follow the manufacturer’s speed guidelines for the specific bit diameter.
  • Q: Can sintered drill bits be used for jewelry making?
    A: Yes. Sintered solid drill bits in small diameters (0.5–3mm) are well-suited for drilling pendant holes in gemstones, beads, and cabochons for jewelry applications.
