Diamond Bits for Drill: Precision Drilling Solutions for Advanced Applications

Drilling through tough, brittle, and hard materials like ceramics, glass, stone, and composites requires a tool that offers both strength and finesse. That’s where diamond bits for drills come into play. Designed for superior performance and durability, these tools are essential for a wide range of industries — from geology and aerospace to electronics and construction.

At UKAM Industrial Superhard Tools, we offer an extensive line of high-performance diamond core drill bits engineered for precision, long life, and consistent results. Whether you're working in a laboratory, clean room, or job site, our diamond bits for drilling deliver unmatched cutting capabilities across the most demanding materials.


What Are Diamond Drill Bits?

Diamond drill bits are specialized cutting tools embedded with industrial-grade diamond particles — the hardest material known to man. These bits are designed to grind through tough surfaces with minimal chipping or cracking. Unlike traditional drill bits, which cut through softer materials using sharp edges, diamond drill bits grind through material using the abrasion of diamond grit.

Key Features of UKAM Diamond Drill Bits:

  • Precision Drilling
  • Minimal Heat Generation
  • Reduced Chipping and Cracking
  • Long Tool Life
  • Available in Custom Sizes & Bonds

Applications of Diamond Bits for Drill

UKAM diamond drill bits are widely used across multiple industries and applications, including:

  • Glass Drilling
  • Semiconductor Substrates
  • Ceramics and Advanced Materials
  • Composites
  • Stone, Marble, and Granite
  • Jade and Other Gemstones
  • Concrete and Masonry
  • PCB & Electronic Component Drilling
  • Medical Devices and Implants

Whether you’re drilling small, delicate holes in silicon wafers or creating large bores in granite, we provide the right diamond bits for your material and operational requirements.

Types of Diamond Core Drill Bits Offered

1. Metal Bond Diamond Drill Bits

  • Ideal for hard, brittle materials
  • Long tool life
  • Consistent performance over thousands of holes
  • Excellent surface finish

2. Nickel Bond (Electroplated) Diamond Drill Bits

  • Best for ultra-fast drilling
  • High precision and reduced material load
  • Used in delicate, thin, or brittle materials like ceramics and sapphire

3. Resin Bond Diamond Drill Bits

  • Typically used for very fine, chip-free holes
  • Ideal for sample preparation and delicate applications
  • Wet and dry configurations available

4. Vacuum Brazed Diamond Drill Bits

  • Highly aggressive
  • Excellent for cutting through materials like stone, concrete, and composites
  • Longer life than plated tools

Each of these bit types is available in a wide variety of diameters (0.001” to 48”), wall thicknesses, mounting options, and grit sizes to fit your precise needs.

Why Choose UKAM Diamond Bits for Drills?

At UKAM, we’ve been manufacturing advanced diamond tools for over 40 years. Our drill bits are the result of decades of R&D, designed to outperform and outlast conventional tools in laboratory and production environments.

✔ Engineered for Precision

Our Smart Cut™ technology ensures each drill bit offers a balanced combination of sharpness, free cutting, and tool life. We understand the requirements of professionals who work in environments where accuracy and surface quality are critical.

✔ Customization Available

We offer custom drill bits tailored to your specific materials, hole size, tolerances, and operating conditions. Whether you need blind holes, through-holes, or core drilling for odd geometries — we can design the exact tool for your job.

✔ Worldwide Industry Use

Our diamond core drills are trusted by:

  • Major research institutions
  • Government laboratories
  • Aerospace companies
  • Semiconductor and electronics firms
  • Stone, tile, and construction industries

Wet vs. Dry Diamond Drilling

Diamond bits can be used in wet or dry conditions, depending on the material and application. However, we strongly recommend wet drilling whenever possible.

Benefits of Wet Drilling:

  • Reduces heat buildup
  • Prolongs bit life
  • Minimizes dust and material fracture
  • Delivers smoother surface finishes

We also offer diamond drill coolants like our SMART CUT™ water-soluble coolant, designed to further enhance performance and extend tool life.

Best Practices for Using Diamond Bits for Drills

To get the most from your diamond core bits, follow these basic operating principles:

  1. Always Start Slowly: Begin drilling at low RPM to reduce stress and heat.
  2. Apply Steady Pressure: Let the tool grind — don’t force it.
  3. Use the Right Coolant: This ensures minimal thermal damage and longer tool life.
  4. Avoid Lateral Pressure: Excessive side pressure can cause bit damage.
  5. Dress Bits if Needed: Occasionally dressing the drill bit can improve performance and restore cutting efficiency.

Industries Served

UKAM diamond core drills are ideal for:

  • Material Science Laboratories
  • Optical and Photonics Industries
  • Universities and Research Institutions
  • Aerospace and Defense
  • Medical and Dental Equipment Fabrication
  • Fine Jewelry and Lapidary Arts
  • Automotive and Industrial Manufacturing

Final Thoughts

Precision drilling through high-value or challenging materials demands the reliability and strength of diamond bits for drills. Whether you're working on advanced ceramics, semiconductors, or natural stone, UKAM Industrial Superhard Tools provides the tools that professionals trust.

With our wide selection of diamond core drill bits — including metal bond, electroplated, resin bond, and vacuum brazed options — we ensure your application is handled with the utmost efficiency and accuracy.
