[@ccoder4953]

Brake rotors are usually made from cast iron. Cast iron is quite soft and even self lubricating due to carbon nodules. And yes, actually harder than mild steel. That diamond cut off wheel worked fine, but it's not really any better than the ones you can get for $20 at your local Home Depot. And porcelain tile is quite hard. You generally need diamond drill bits (I usually use the Chinese core bits - cheap but they only last maybe a half dozen holes at best) for that and you have to keep them cool. The carbide tips on those drill bits didn't stand a chance.

[@point-five-oh6249]

I'm pretty sure they weren't advertised to need cutting fluid. He was replicating the commercials exactly as they showcased the product, as they said, you didn't need to worry about the bits overheating or whatever. Safety glasses probably isn't necessary for drilling or using a grinder that has a guard on it. Respirator could be needed depending on what you're cutting or drilling. Also a respirator might make it hard to hear what he's saying. For that, I think just taking it outside would be best.

It all depends on the cutting medium used. Tool steel, carbide, or Diamond. Plus cooling to keep the coating on the cutting wheel from getting hot and adhesive letting go.

[@jamessciutto6156]

In the commercials they use props made of soft metals like aluminum. Using aluminum allows them to keep the look of cutting into steel, but show the speed of cutting the aluminum. The carbide tips on these will separate and shatter if used too long in hardened steel due to heat fracturing. Put really simple, these are just real cheap concrete bits made out of soft steel. Buy cheap, find ways to make the product look like something beyond our time and sell high, the biggest moneymaker in the industry. Great vid as always Tyler, keep it up and stay out of trouble.

After that, I went to a hardware store and bought a Bosch brand drill bit, and in 5 seconds the holes were done, and there was no sign of wear on the drill bit.

I've looked them up and the bits really seem to be a mixed bag. From what I have seen they're great when you get good ones , but they're terrible when you get bad ones which apparently happens a lot and they're still not exactly good for everything they claim. I've also heard many complaints about the warranty process, that you have to send in the broken bits on your own dime both ways, and that turnaround times are slow. From everything I've read / seen it seems like they kind of wrote a big check that's financially difficult to cash, they offered a lifetime warranty on a consumable product and they're stuck with it because they wouldn't sell without one. Who in the hell would give you a lifetime warranty on drill bits? That's like offering a lifetime warranty on hacksaw blades or tires, they're consumables and having a warranty on them is unheard of.

From what I know about carbide (because that's what it looks like in those bits) I know that carbide on a lathe or a mill likes high speed, but I thought that was because you need high pressure at the cutting edge to prevent it from shattering. I have seen some of their videos where they have the drill spinning and they stab it in, I wonder if that has something to do with it also. I'm glad to have seen this video though as I was eyeballing their tools with dreams of never buying another bit set, but perhaps I will hold off for now.

[@kevintitcombe8521]

Porcelain is hard and very difficult to drill, ideally you need a hollow circular diamond cutter and keep it cooled with water whilst drilling. A lot of tiles are made of material more like clay and any masonry drill bit will go through it easy. I use the Bosch multi construction drill bits and they will only go through soft porcelain and are spent after only a few holes. For high grade porcelain you really need specialist bits in order to go through it.

Porcelain is the hard tile. Is the soft stuff called travertine or something? I can't remember. I used to install showers and we loved drilling the clay like tile a lot more than porcelain.

[@shaneh7519]

Glad I wasn’t just doing something wrong. I had to drill into my shower tile and it was so slow even with a Milwaukee circular diamond bit. All the videos I watched showed people drilling into tile super quickly

[@kevintitcombe8521]

@@Mr.NiceGuy80 some tiles are almost like terracotta, but yeah travertine rings a bell.

[@kevintitcombe8521]

@@shaneh7519 fyi the best bits ive found attach to the angle grinder, but you need the special tool to get the hole started and in centre, even then, in high grade porcelain it can take minutes+ to drill each hole! The horrible thing is, you don't know what they are made of until you try drilling it! I got caught out on a job I'd priced to fit an entire bathroom, the customer chose high grade porcelain tiles, I had to fit the shower riser bar and shower screen, which was probably only around ten holes, but I did not have the proper bits and struggled for a whole day trying to drill the holes, whilst ruining all my other drill bits!

Tyler if you somehow find this comment, Pro tip: next time you cut/drill glass spray water wherever you’re drilling and it won’t shatter. The water keeps the glass from heating up and creating friction so it doesn’t break. It’ll be an easier way to demonstrate it and it’ll be safer as well. The last thing you want to do is inhale a lethal dose of glass dust. Cheers mate

I am not surprised the cut off wheel did ok on the tile. it looks exactly like a tile saw blade does.

[@RonnieD-xi2xp]

I would love to see you do a comparison video with these bits compare them to DeWalt or Ryobi and do a comparison with a concrete bit with the tile

[@kygunworks4982]

I worked as a machinist making Toyota brake rotors for 8 years, our automated drills would cut 10,000 holes before we changed the bits on a schedule and they wear generally still sharp after that.

We have similar stuff in the UK and yeah been burnt once at a tool show and never again, there’s always small print somewhere that stops you claiming…

[@blazeandcyrus]

Probably mentioned before but the brake rotor is just a casting that was machined, they are really pretty easy to drill into.

[@mushroom-madness1]

The advertisements are misleading but I feel like a good rule of thumb when drilling through any metal is to use drilling oil

[@izzycurer1260]

[@iamcool544]

These bits look like absolute shit. I would have to hold it to be 100% sure about the material but I would bet money I could snap one with a pair of pliers and little effort. The first red flag is NONE of the bits are even shaped to bore into anything but masonry. Theres a reason they sell different bits for different material.

[@philpartin8618]

Great video sir. 👍

[@andrewvogel5344]

Usually when I drill tile I put a putty barrier and fill it with water to keep heat down. I drill metal all day at work and I use oil as lubricant and my drill bits last a long time. Use drill bits with cobalt in them they are the best in my opinion it drills through everything

[@THEGRAVEDEAGLE]

Cobalt mining is terrible though 😢

[@southernracing2468]

A lot of people spin the bits too fast as well it helps a ton if you slow it down to where you start seeing nice spirals coming off

Love the part where he's using the wheel on the brake rotor and there's that nice can of gas over on the left where the sparks are falling. But at least hearing and eye protection, so there's still a possibility this will end with a bang.

[@Spaz740]

I have a co-worker that had these bits. They broke after one use of trying to drill through a brick wall lol. Then once he tried to return them they gave him hell about it. They made him mail them back and pretty sure never gave him his money back.

[@noahblevins9569]

When I pick things up I have reason to question, I purchase them on a card that a chargeback can be issued on. Too many shady businesses around to be very trusting. I havent had to do that much at all, but better safe than sorry.

[@Code3News]

Chisel tip bits are meant to be used in a hammer drill.

[@turtleofannihilation272]

Yes but they advertise with a impact

[@TheJhonny5555]

If you go to any hardware store and buy cheapest sds concrete drill bit and use it with impact drill you can drill at least 1000 holes in cinder block before the get remotely dull. And by the looks of tips on these bit they look like they are made for concrete.

[@chuckyhammer9738]

As somone in trades there are still bits with impact connects for a reason. It clearly spins fast enough, it’s just a convenient thing for me, having just and impact over 2 tools

[@aggese]

I have some old and cheep tile and glass bits that look almost exactly like those with the same kind of insert, Those have actually been decent at all kinds of drilling, haven't tried them on wood but that's something I doubt they would work for. The insert need to have a well centred tip and be really sharp and hard tror them to work with glass or tiles. The instructions those was to put masking tape on the tile to prevent the drill from walking.

[@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307]

That is a Diamond blade. i always see them used for cutting concrete and bricks but never for cutting metal (Regular Cut off wheels are cheaper and much faster for metal) Also there is indeed actual diamond grit on the end of the teeth which makes them super expensive. But that one costs as much as the Hilti Diamond blades of that same size that is insane.

[@ronlovell5374]

There's a lot of cheap good grade diamond blades out there that work fine and last long, on Amazon and stores like Harbour Freight. It's brand names that think their stuff is superior, price gouging the crap out of people, when the cheap stuff is the same or if not better quality. I keep blades of all sizes and for many different tools in my arsenal, found it way cheaper than continually buying and changing out oxide cut-off wheels.

[@hgredemption6956]

You should definitely return them and make a video on the process lol

[@CajunReaper95]

I’d definitely buy some more and try it with a proper hammer drill used for masonry.

[@metroidking5484]

Heat dulls them out quicker, I would usually buy cheap harbor freight drill bits and use them for steel, have the steel in a clamp and a bottle of water with a hole punched into the lid and drip it on as im using it. Gets more use out of it.

[@drivecraz12]

You should test their warranty on those bits

[@dougbrown7150]

I get doing the demo exactly as advertised to disprove those claims, but when you drill "like you normally would(particularly on metal) lubricant is your friend

[@FlyboyHelosim]

Oh, I bet lubricant is YOUR friend. 😉

[@JJ-yk7md]

Oh yeah, just a note when you’re cutting into steel you have to make an indention in it a pilot indention and you can buy the pens in a set and you don’t have to spin arm, a leg ahead and part of your shoulder lol to get some company sell them they come in all different sizes usually SAE sizes there’s like three or four of them you can even buy two of them so your drill bit don’t walk all over the place messing up the metal also to note when you’re drilling into metal in construction industry the client don’t like to see scratches all over their metal, so FYI to all the amateurs out there watching this video

[@xald1234114]

Just to add even though its ages old now, when drilling metal with good bits or bad bits (regardless of what they show in the demos) Feeds and speeds are what you gotta keep in mind. Hot is the opposite of sharp, You gotta have the just right amount of pressure with just the right amount of speed. You often need to slow down to drill a metal hole fast. Not pressing hard enough also makes the drill bit rub instead of cut which will heat it up a toooon

[@superhawk20002]

You need to have some sort of "standard", either set by you or other verifiable tests. EDIT: The grippy feeling you're getting often comes from how you're holding the power tool. Sometimes its user fatigue setting in.

[@charlesl21]

I wouldn’t put it past Tyler that he wasn’t running the drill backwards 😊

[@evanoldhoff4904]

Just so people understand how they do it in the ad. They use a centre punch, to stop the bit from walking. Then they hold the drill as still as they possibly can, and they turn on fast forward. Riiiight up until the drill bit goes through. Then they turn off fast forward.

[@jameshaines604]

Haha as a tile setter this is hilarious .....without a diamond hole saw...welcome to my world tryin to put a towel bar on a tile wall😂
