APEXX Thin-Wall Core Bit – 1-1/4 in., 5/8 in.-11, for Porcelain, Ultra-Compact & Marble
APEXX Thin-Wall Core Bit – 1-1/4 in., 5/8 in.-11, for Porcelain, Ultra-Compact & Marble
The APEXX Ultra-Compact & Dekton Thin-Wall Core Bit is a 1-1/4 in. thin-wall core bit with a 5/8 in.-11 thread, built for drilling ultra-compact surfaces including Dekton. Ocean Diamond specifies wet use only with constant cooling water, publishes a 3,500 max RPM rating and a 2 in. drilling depth, and states that the bond and diamond are the same as its APEXX Green porcelain/UCS bits, which Cosentino has approved for Dekton.
Constant cooling water is not optional on this bit — Ocean Diamond specifies wet use only. For marble and porcelain on a dry-or-wet bit, use the APEXX Vacuum Brazed Marble & Porcelain Core Bit, 1-3/8 in.; for engineered stone, granite and quartzite, use the ELEMENT or ELEMENT-X core bits.
