The in-between sizes are where cheap bits quit early — a 5/16" hole in dense porcelain or polished stone loads up the crown and glazes it before the job's done. The Montolit FAJ08 holds its edge, driving a clean 5/16" hole with a vacuum-brazed diamond crown that keeps cutting where lesser bits burn out, leaving crisp edges on the hard, glossy material that punishes rough work.
It runs wet or dry, on a drill or an angle grinder, and starts accurately thanks to a balanced body. For dry drilling, keep it alive with a dip of M-PERFORMER cooling gel, and finish the opening with the Diamond Countersink to bevel the edge and relieve stress.
Pro tip: Keep the bit moving in a slight circular motion once you're through the glaze — it clears debris and keeps the crown cooler than boring straight down in one spot.
