Ocean Diamond builds it with top-quality diamond in a super-soft metal bond so it keeps cutting through the hardest sintered slab instead of glazing over, and states that the line is approved by Cosentino for Dekton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis is a wet-only bit: Ocean Diamond specifies constant cooling water during drilling to avoid overheating. It is not the right bit for granite, engineered quartz or quartzite — the soft bond wears away quickly on those materials. For engineered stone, granite and quartzite, use an ELEMENT Dry\/Wet Core Bit or ELEMENT-X Core Bit, or the Diamax Cyclone Dry\/Wet Core Bit, which is stocked in the widest run of sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"key-features\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e1-5\/8 in. diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e5\/8 in.-11 thread — fits standard angle grinders and wet core drills with a 5\/8 in.-11 spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eThin-wall barrel for a clean, fast hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eSuper-soft metal bond with top-quality diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eWet use only — constant cooling water required\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eApproved by Cosentino for Dekton\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eOcean Diamond materials: porcelain and ultra-compact surfaces including Neolith, Lapitec and Dekton\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eOcean Diamond does not publish a max RPM or drilling depth for this line; run at the speed your wet core drill or grinder is rated for on this diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ideal-for\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eStone fabricators and tile installers drilling faucet, fixture, drain and anchor holes in porcelain slab, large-format porcelain tile and ultra-compact surfaces such as Dekton, Neolith and Lapitec, where a general-purpose granite bit glazes over before it gets through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"faq\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003ch4\u003eWhat diameter is it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe bit drills a 1-5\/8 in. hole and mounts on a 5\/8 in.-11 thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003ch4\u003eDoes it need water?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eYes.
