Description
The high-speed dry core bit engineered for aggressive, clean drilling on stone countertops. The Weha Blitz Dry Diamond Core Bit is purpose-built for granite, marble, quartz, quartzite, engineered stone, and concrete countertop fabrication. Vacuum-brazed diamonds on both the inside and outside of the barrel minimize drag, heat, and friction while delivering immediate bite, reduced walking, and fast, clean holes.
Specifications
- Available sizes: 1-3/8", 2"
- Thread: 5/8"-11
- Total length: 4"
- Recommended speed: Up to 10,000 RPM
- Use: Dry (primary) | Wet (optional)
- Expected life: Approximately 60–150 holes depending on material thickness and hardness
What Makes the Blitz Different
Interior & Exterior Vacuum-Brazed Diamonds
Unlike standard core bits that only feature exterior diamonds, the Blitz is vacuum-brazed inside and outside the barrel. This dual-diamond design increases cutting speed, improves core release, and allows for easy hole enlargement when needed. Also performs exceptionally well for radius holes and fine-tuning grommet openings.
Fast Drilling Performance
Capable of drilling through 3cm granite in seconds at recommended speeds. Operates at up to 10,000 RPM for maximum throughput in production fabrication environments.
Dry or Wet Use
Designed primarily for dry on-site fabrication — mount directly onto standard 5/8"-11 grinders for fast faucet holes, sink corners, radius work, and grommet openings. May also be used wet in shop environments with air or electric polishers.
60–150 Holes Per Bit
Despite its high cutting speed, the Blitz delivers impressive durability. Approximately 60–150 holes per bit depending on material thickness and hardness.
