Our second-to-last blog post of the series focuses on the estimated life of a diamond bit.
How Long Will They Last?
This is the question our customers ask most often and the one we can't answer.
The hardness and abrasiveness of the material being drilled, the tool speed, the pressure used and the amount and type of lubrication affect the life span of all diamond bits, ours and all others. Even materials that appear similar have varying degrees of hardness and abrasiveness. It is impossible to estimate the life of a diamond bit. On some thin, soft materials a diamond bit may last for 50-100 holes or more, while on some thick, very hard or very abrasive materials the life many be only 1-3 holes or less.

It may be difficult to determine how long each individual diamond bit will last for each individual user, but you can always visit http://www.diamondburs.net/ to obtain a wide variety of bits. And as always, each order comes with free shipping.
