Using the Alpha Wet Core Drill Bit is straightforward. First, make sure you have a drill press with a water swivel attachment or a wet polishing tool like the AIR - 680, AWP - 158, or VSP - 320. Since this bit must be used wet, ensure your tool has a central water - feed or a water swivel. When drilling free - hand, it's a good idea to use a template. Also, clamp a scrap piece of stone under the stone you're working on to prevent excessive chipping on the backside. Regarding maintenance, after each use, clean the drill bit thoroughly to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. And always check the bit for any signs of wear before using it again.
