The diameter listed is the size of the hole drilled. However, it is somewhat nominal due to the fact that the diamond grit is plated on the bit. Sometimes the layer is slightly thicker, as it wears, the size gets slightly smaller. Drilling technique can also be a factor, since you are really grinding, not drilling. Final hole size could vary perhaps + or – 1-1.5 mm overall with all the factors considered.

It’s fine, BUT it is NOT a bit. It cuts holes! This means you need a point to start the cut, i.e. provide an anchor for the
“bit”.

I have found that when drilling a hole in glass, it is easier to start the hole if you angle the bit slightly at first to get it started. Once it has a groove started then slowly straighten the drill bit over the glass. We do have a product called V-Grip that works like a guide for the drill bit and keeps it from wondering on the glass.
