Abstract
An abrasive drill bit and method of use on glass, ceramics, tile, stone and similar solid materials, both natural and synthetic. A circle is ground into the material using a cylindrical drill bit, which grinds a loose abrasive between the bit cylinder and the material. When the circle is complete, a punch-out piece of the material falls out, leaving a smooth hole. Alternatively, the loose abrasive is ground between a solid bit and the material to grind out a hole. In both methods, the loose abrasive is preferably mixed with water to form a slurry.
Claims16
A method of forming a hole in a solid material, said method comprising:
- orienting a guide on a surface of said solid material;
- placing an abrasive material in a guide hole of said guide;
- placing an abrasive cylinder bit into said guide hole of said guide, said abrasive cylinder bit comprising a cylinder and a connection means, said cylinder comprising a cylinder base, a cylinder side and a cylinder edge distal said cylinder base, said connection means being connected to a drill;
- energizing said drill to rotate said abrasive cylinder bit;
- and
- grinding a circle through said solid material by grinding said abrasive material between said cylinder edge of said abrasive cylinder bit and said solid material.
A method of forming a hole in a solid material, said method comprising:
- placing an abrasive material proximate a cylinder edge of an abrasive cylinder bit, said abrasive cylinder bit comprising a cylinder and a connection means, said cylinder comprising a cylinder base, a cylinder interior, a cylinder side and said cylinder edge distal said cylinder base, said connection means being connected to a drill;
- orienting said cylinder edge bit against a surface of said solid material;
- energizing said drill to rotate said abrasive cylinder bit;
- and
- grinding a circle through said solid material by grinding said abrasive material between said cylinder edge of said abrasive cylinder bit and said solid material.
A method of forming a hole in a solid material, said method comprising:
- orienting a guide on a surface of said solid material;
- placing an abrasive material in a guide hole of said guide;
- placing an abrasive shaft bit into said guide hole of said guide, said abrasive shaft bit comprising a shaft having a first and second end, said first end connected to a drill and said second end comprising a grinding surface;
- energizing said drill to rotate said abrasive shaft bit;
- and
- grinding a hole through said solid material by grinding said abrasive material between said grinding surface of said abrasive shaft bit and said solid material.
