Dremel 562 Tile Cutting BitThis bit did a better job than I expected in making the precision cuts that I needed.
Great product. Had to go gently since the bit will cut deep and fast. So far, I used this to shave a quarter inch off one wall tile. I ran the Dremel with bit along the edge a few times and it worked perfectly.
The trick is to take your time and carve away a little bit at a time and if you're drilling a hole with it, to use a slow in-out motion. I work with plastics and aluminum a lot.I've discovered that this bit is great for punching small holes, grinding inside-edges to precision-shapes and rounding outside corners. I use a battery-powered rotary tool, hold it like a pencil and gently carve into the materials.If you're a computer case-modder, you may find it an indispensable aid.Beware that plunging the spinning bit quickly into plastic may generate enough heat to lock it in.
They save a load of time and versitility. As a handyman I use these bits all the time.
Each of the bit seemed to perform as expected within the first 15 feet of cutting. I also made an attempt to cut 3/8 inch ceramic wall tile and 3/8 inch marble tile.
I ended up buying a rod saw (it was a hand saw) with Tungsten carbide grit edge blade to do the job (slow.real slow, but they did cut nicely after I had some practice). They don't perform well at all.
I purchased this cutting bits for my bathroom remodeling because the project required curved lines and irregular shapes to be cut. I also had to watch the equipment because it could get real warm.
One other thing, I burned one of the bit when I tried to cut a hole and had to drill through one of the beckerboard. I attached this particular bits to a 'Dramel variable speed' and used them to cut several half-inch backerboards.
After that the bits became dull and did not cut as fast.
