What type of drill bit should I use to drill through pavers, concrete, and stone?

You will need a Diamond Drill Bit along with a Water Swivel accessory.

When it comes to drilling holes through hard materials like pavers, concrete, and stone for recessed light installations, you should use a Diamond Drill Bit. 

We offer 2 sizes of Diamond Drill Bits: 22 mm (7/8") and 60 mm (2 3/8"). These bits will drill the perfect-sized holes to fit BOLD's recessed lights.

*Pro Tip: Always use a water swivel accessory to connect a water source to your drill press when drilling through pavers, stone or concrete. The running water will cool off the paver to prevent it from cracking, and it will also protect the drill bit from excessive wear and tear.*
