I have been fortunate enough in recent years to work with many clients specifying high end materials in large scale custom installations. More and more, these jobs entail the use of large format porcelain ceramic floor and wall tiles. I love the look of these behemoth tiles (commonly 12 x 24 or larger) but they certainly present some challenges when striving for a neat, clean installation. The job I am currently finishing is a good example of these challenges, as the design features 12 x 24 shower walls in two showers with large, custom niches in both. Heavy gauge (3/8") tiles of this size can be very tough to work with, due in large part to the internal stresses which accumulate within the tiles themselves as they are double fired. Attempting to cut anywhere near the edges very often ends in failure as the internal stresses relieve themselves with a sudden, uncontrolled crack. Even harder still is the job of cutting a large diameter hole to accommodate a shower control valve. I have always used a 4" diamond edged wheel in an angle grinder to make these cutouts in the past. I've had instances where I've had two or three tiles break before I have finally gotten the piece right. That can get expensive, and I have adopted the policy of not making any more than three attempts without at least taking a break and/ or trying something different. On this particular job, after breaking a record four tiles attempting to make that large hole, I looked online for an alternative. This 4 1/2" hole saw is exactly the right diameter to accommodate the shower valve seal that comes with the Schluter Shower System, which I try to use in every shower I do. It came in two days, and the price was significantly less than I pay for similar bits of much lesser diameter. I was skeptical. I am very practiced in using hole saws in tile, so the set up for me was easy. There is no central pilot drill in these bits, so one must use other methods to keep the bit from wandering whilst starting the hole. You also must use a low RPM drill and keep the work and the bit wet. Go slowly. Long story short....it worked flawlessly on the very first attempt. Neat edged hole through rock hard porcelain tile very near to the edge of a 12 x 24 tile. Highly recommended. Review: Exactly as described - Worked very well to cut a hole in tile for the shower valve. I made a template from 1/4 in plywood, clamped the template to a tile. While a helper sprayed water, I ran the drill. Perfect hole. Making a template is key. The Hole Saw will walk on the material without a template to keep it in place. ## Features - Designed For Clean, Precise Large Holes: Engineered to cut smooth, chip-free 4-1/2 inch holes in tile, porcelain, and stone.

So far I have gotten two holes out of my first hole saw and while it is still cutting, it is cutting pretty slow at this point. If you are cutting tile or veneer stone, these are great, just keep water running on it and it'll cut perfectly. For granite slabs, I'm not sure I can recommend it unless you are ok spending on the order of 16 to 25 dollars per hole on hole saws and just assuming you'll be throwing them out. My only real complaint is that the advertised 1.25 max hole depth is not quite accurate. I'm finding that it bottoms out around 1-1.125" deep and I have to knock the core slug out from below (prevents edge tearout) and continue cutting. Not the end of the world, just slightly annoying. The hole saw did have a bit of a wobble to it like the shank was slightly bent but honestly I think it may have helped it cut and eject the debris better by applying a slight pumping motion to the water in the cut. I am buying another few of these as well as a cheaper brand (also on Amazon) to see if I can find out what the best bang for buck is on granite. My recommendation for getting these started is to line scrap lumber up at 90 degree angles right on the edge of the hole and clamp it to the work, as I've shown in one of my pictures. This gives you something to rest the hole saw against in both axes while you get it started instead of it trying to scoot around and scratching up your workpiece. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/7866651-drilax-4-1-2-inch-diamond-hole-saw-with-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/7866651-drilax-4-1-2-inch-diamond-hole-saw-with-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
