Review on 5/8 Inch Diamond Finger Milling Bits For Enlarging Holes On Porcelain Tile Ceramic Marble Granite - Raizi 1 Pc by Tristan Graham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality materials and extremely simple design and installation.

I wanted to change the drain assembly for my pedestal sink from the metal that was there to white to match the new white enamel bowl sink I recently installed. I was limited as to suppliers but saw this one had by far the most positive reviews. I was hoping to use one with a ceramic drain head to match the sink, though this one made no mention of ceramic anywhere. The drain arrived and I was extremely impressed with the simplicity and quality of the construction. This was going to be very easy to install with fewer places to leak. Then I removed the plastic cap that it comes with to protect the white drain head, and at first felt disappointed. Not only wasn't that head ceramic, it appeared to be a relatively thin material and it was a sort of matte bone finish unlike the glossy sink. Also, unfortunately, the diameter of the drain was slightly larger that the hole in my granite. Not to be deterred, I did some quick research, sent for a diamond head bit for my angle grinder, watched a video and simply and quickly ground the hole in the granite a bit larger diameter. The drain now fit and installation was the most simple I have ever done. Took literally minutes. Once in, I realized that bone finish head was actually very attractive and even preferable than something ceramic. I think they say it's also guaranteed not to stain so there seem to be some guarantees to relieve my mind as to durability. I popped it down and it stops the drain perfectly. I love that innovative basket that you simply pull out if you or a guest drops something in there like an earring. Now you don't need to get the pipe wrenches out to disassemble the plumbing to retrieve it. It also has two grommets around it to assure a tight fit in the drain hole. As mentioned, the design is very simple and the drain pipe is only one piece so no place to come apart or leak. Highest quality I imagine you can buy. I can only add my highest recommendation along with all the others. Money well spent.

Pros
  • good for making a hole on tiles or grinding
Cons
  • The bits' shape and structure may make them difficult to clean thoroughly, leading to rust or other types of degradation over time
