Frequently Asked Questions
What diameter is it?
The core bit is 1-3/8 in. in diameter.
What thread does it take?
The core bit takes a 5/8 in.-11 thread.
Does it need water?
Ocean Diamond specifies dry or wet use and recommends cooling water for long tool life.
What does vacuum brazed mean?
The diamond is brazed to the steel in a vacuum furnace rather than held in a sintered matrix, which exposes more of each diamond and lets the bit cut aggressively from the first hole.
Is this an ELEMENT core bit?
No. A third-party site labels the 22229 family "Element"; that contradicts the manufacturer. Ocean Diamond publishes this as the APEXX Vacuum Brazed Marble/Porcelain Core Bit, and ELEMENT is a separate line.
