I just bought a core bit in order to drill a hole on the grainte countertop. I am looking for the tool for this core bit. May I use it with a core bit to drill a hole on Grainte? Thanks.

I'm not sure about that. The core bit would have to screw on to the tool's arbor. Plus the RPM might be too high for the bit.

I am not 100 % sure that you could. I am not familiar with any type of hole drilling done with this. I would guess a hammer drill would be more along the lines of something you would use.

Moosie, This bit will make a hole as deep as you want provided you have a drill / press with a spindle long enough. In most cases the limiting factor to hole depth is not the actual bit, but your setup. The bit will bore its way to China (or ostensibly to the USA if you happen to live in China) if you have a way to push it that far (and keep it from melting). The bit itself is 3-1/2 inches long (end to end). Hope this helps.

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

Hi, Linda!Not sure if this will meet your needs, but I really haven't seen anything that would be better. If you have a way of holding the bead steady (perhaps a small vise) and a small enough bit, this should work. Because it is a hand drill, you can control the speed and depth of the hole. The only other suggestion I have might be a dremel tool. Note that the tool itself is smaller than a power drill, but not tiny. I think it will handle the smaller bits okay, though.

I have found that cobalt drill bits work best for stainless steel another very hard metals. Something to remember though, the speed of your drill motor and a good cutting oil, will make the job much easier and lengthen the life of your drill bit.

Yes...But make sure you use masonry drill bits. Cobalt drill bits will last longer....but depending on the how big the job is it's best to have a few extra bits to replace when they dull down. I have bought this drill twice. I owned the mode number that this one replaced and my son in law liked it so much when he borrowed it he asked for one as a Christmas gift. You can't go wrong with this drill !! Thanks, Bruce

I do not use this tool as a drill motor, so my answer is incomplete.Yes, in order to install drill bits you will most likely need an adapter, as the collet installed on the motor is optimized for one (and only one) shaft diameter. unless your drill bit is 'just right' it will not fit properly without an adapter. Cannot address the 'which one' part of the question.

Kim, not with this tool. It should be able to accomplish drilling in glass substances or ceramic tile but be cautious: drill bit will be very small in size, should be diamond or carbide tipped and rotating speed should be very.....low to avoid high friction temperatures. Before drilling into intended object, try it out on a scrap piece and get sufficient experience with tool and drill bit specification. Good luck! Hasito 3/30/2014

It came with only one standard phillips drill bit that is stored in the side of the hand base. You'll need to provide your own drill bits. Good luck.

You can buy bits that are larger than 3/8 inch that have a 3/8 shank. If you plan to do a lot of drilling with bits larger than 3/8 ", invest in a bigger drill motor. As another reviewer mentioned, the thread count has to match to go to the larger chuck. Also, it is not alwasy easy to remove the original chuck. Make sure you try to remove it before ordering the replacemant, if you wish to go that route.

This might be overkill, or flat-out awkward, for this specific use. Based on a youtube search for "bead drilling" to see what others use, you'll likely want a light duty rotary tool or bead reamer for harder materials or a pin vise for things like polymer clay. You might consider a jeweler's push drill like this: Jeweler's Small 3-1/2" Push Drill for Micro Bits 0.20mm to 1.0mm

a diamond core bit works best, you can google the subject or view it on Youtube

Just checked it -- the smallest bit I had handy is 1/16" and the chuck on my PC600D is precise enough to hold that firmly centered...I also recall that I used this drill for a luggage-repair project requiring 1/8" bit -- and in my opinion -- with a bit of care, two-handed bracing of the drill, and the variable speed, small bits can be used without breaking them.

These bits are for a drill press. You could use them with a hand drill but the hole cut would be far from the perfect hole you would get using drill press. The Dremel tool has a 1/8 inch shank which is far too small for these bits. These bits are a great deal if you have a drill press. You have to squirt water on the bit and cutting surface while drilling to keep thee bits from getting over heated. If the bit gets over heated it will lose it's temper and the diamond dust cutting edge will be lost.

No. You cant use drill bits. Just the drivers that come with it or similar drivers.

Standard 1/4 inch hex shank bit sets are all compatible. They are available from many manufacturers. You dont say if for drilling or driving screws, but this tool is best for driving screws requiring low torque, such as wallplate cover screws and such. Not for drilling.

I have my drill in its box. I don't see anything regarding bits. It does talk about "Quick Connect System" I suggest you go to the Black and Decker site. Maybe they have this drill with the information you need. I do know that I much prefer an electric drill vs cordless drill.
