MANTIS Dry/Wet Core Bit – 1-3/8 in., Dry / Wet Use
MANTIS Dry/Wet Core Bit – 1-3/8 in., Dry / Wet Use
The MANTIS Dry/Wet Core Bit is a 1-3/8 in. diamond core bit rated for both dry and wet drilling in stone.
1-3/8 in. is the cut diameter, confirmed both by the listing and by the part number's own size suffix. Being rated for dry as well as wet use means it can be run on a hand drill or a polisher on site where a water feed is awkward, and under water in the shop where dust control and bit life matter more. The shank or thread it mounts on is not published, and neither is a maximum RPM, so check the fitting against your machine before ordering.

Who Is This For?
Fabricators and installers drilling faucet and fitting holes in stone who need one bit that will run dry on site and wet in the shop. It is not a bit with a published rating for ultra-compact material: for Dekton, porcelain and other sintered slabs use the Diamax Cyclone Ultra Core Bit – 1-3/8 in., and for quartzite the Diamax Cyclone S QZT 1-3/8 in. Core Bit, both of which state the material they are built for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size hole does this bit cut?
1-3/8 in.
Can it be used dry?
Yes – it is specified for dry as well as wet drilling.
Should I use it dry if I can use water?
Water is the better choice when it is available: it clears the swarf and keeps the bit cool, which extends bit life and controls dust. Dry capability is what makes the bit usable where a water feed is impractical.
