Alpha Laser Core Bits - Wet/Dry Segmented Core Bits
Laser-welded segmented diamond core bits engineered for fast, clean holes in granite, engineered stone, porcelain, and most hard interior surfaces. The 3/8" and 1/2" sizes are wet-only; 3/4" through 4" run wet or dry. All bits thread directly onto standard 5/8"-11 angle-grinder spindles for hand-held countertop, hardscape, and pool-deck work.
Features
- Laser-welded segments - handle higher torque than brazed bonds
- 5/8"-11 thread fits any standard high-speed angle grinder
- Wet/Dry capability on 3/4"+ sizes; pavers can be drilled dry
- Maximum drilling depth: 4" per bit
- Sizes from 3/8" pilot holes up to 4" sink-radius corners
- Complete 11-piece kit (DLB11KIT) ships in a hard-shell toolbox

- Thread the bit onto a 5/8"-11 angle grinder. Hand-tighten only - never wrench-tighten.
- For wet drilling, supply water continuously to the cut zone (G-Tape reservoir or hose feed).
- Use a pilot carbide bit or jig to stabilize hand-held starts on smooth surfaces.
- Maintain steady pressure - let the diamonds cut. Avoid percussion / hammering, which destroys the diamond grit.
- Pull the bit back every inch of depth to flush slurry and cool the segments.
- Maximum drilling depth per bit is 4". Use the Alpha Core Bit Extender for deeper holes.

Can I drill porcelain pavers dry?
Yes. Porcelain pavers and most hardscape stone can be drilled dry with the DLB-series bits. The WLB 3/8" and 1/2" are wet-only.
Why does my bit lose its bite quickly?
Most often percussion or hammering - these destroy the diamond grit. Let the bit cut under steady pressure, and use water on deep applications to flush swarf.
How deep can I drill with one bit?
4" is the maximum drilling depth. Use the Alpha Core Bit Extender for deeper holes.
Do I need a pilot bit for hand-held work?
Yes - a carbide pilot bit or drilling jig stabilizes the start on smooth surfaces and prevents walking.
Will these work on my angle grinder?
Any standard high-speed grinder with a 5/8"-11 spindle. Stay at or below the listed Max RPM (12,000 for under 2", 8,400 for 2-1/2"-4").
