🔪 IVY Classic 26628 Carbide Grit: Unleash the Power of Precision Cutting Review

Went to the local hardware store and bought a Lenox Diamond set which costs twice as much, works flawlessly and cuts tile like butter. The additional cost will save you time and hassle, sometimes you get what you pay for.

The included center drill will not drill through porcelain stoneware.

If you're wondering how to drill deeper than the drill bit, you'll need to chip the concrete to remove the "donut" before drilling deeper into your material. I know there are hole saws out there
