Choose the Correct Fit
Use it with a compatible threaded diamond saw and a suitable arbor. Check starter retention and clearance before cutting.
Follow the starter instructions to mark the hole center. Support fragile material and inspect behind the intended opening.
Installation & Care
Use the diamond saw’s specified speed, drill mode and cooling method. Keep the tool aligned as the rim starts cutting.
Disconnect power before clearing debris or replacing the starter. Check that the bit retracts freely and that the point is undamaged.

Important Product Questions
Is this a complete arbor assembly?
No. This listing is the retractable starter bit. Fit it to a suitable arbor and threaded diamond saw.
Can it start without a predrilled hole?
Yes. The carbide point marks the center so a separate pilot-hole drilling step is not required. Follow the specified starting method.
Will it work with every diamond bit?
No. It is intended for a compatible threaded-saw and arbor setup. One-piece diamond bits have a different connection.
