Product Description
CMT Cooling and Lubricating Wax (552-WAX) by CMT is a purpose-formulated 30ml (1 fl. oz) wax designed specifically for use with CMT 552 diamond dry hole saws. Applied before drilling, this lubricating wax melts automatically during use - cooling both the blade and the workpiece - so the cutting edge stays protected through every pass into hard tiles, natural stone, and artificial stone surfaces. The result is cleaner cuts, reduced heat buildup, and significantly extended diamond hole saw life, making it a practical consumable for any professional or tradesperson working with dry diamond cutting tools.
Key Features
- Formulated for diamond dry hole saws - engineered specifically for CMT 552 diamond dry hole saws, ensuring proper compatibility and optimal protection during dry drilling applications.
- Melts automatically during drilling - the wax liquefies from the heat generated during cutting and is carried away with drilling waste, providing continuous cooling and lubrication without interruption or manual reapplication.
- Simultaneous cooling and lubrication - addresses both heat and friction in a single product, reducing wear on the diamond cutting edge and the material being drilled for more consistent results.
- 30ml (1 fl. oz) jar format - a compact, easy-to-use quantity that is simple to transport and store on the job site without waste.
- Extends diamond hole saw service life - by managing heat buildup during dry drilling, the wax helps preserve the integrity of the diamond segments, reducing the frequency of tool replacement.
Why This Product
- Diamond dry hole saws generate significant heat during use, and without proper lubrication this heat degrades the cutting segments quickly - this wax is specifically designed to solve that problem by melting and cooling the blade continuously through the cut.
- Unlike liquid coolants that require wet setup, this wax-based format is compatible with dry drilling methods, keeping the work area clean while still delivering the lubrication needed for hard tiles, hard stones, and artificial stones.
- The self-eliminating formula requires no mid-cut pauses or manual application once drilling begins, allowing for uninterrupted workflow on demanding materials.
- Designed as a matched consumable for CMT 552 diamond dry hole saws, this wax ensures the tooling system performs as intended - protecting your investment in the hole saw itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you use this wax with a diamond dry hole saw?
Apply the wax to the diamond cutting edge of the CMT 552 hole saw before beginning to drill. Once drilling starts and heat builds up, the wax melts on its own and is carried away with the drilling waste, continuously cooling and lubricating the blade without any need to stop and reapply during the cut.
Is this wax compatible with wet drilling setups?
This product is specifically formulated for dry diamond hole saw applications. It is designed for use with CMT 552 diamond dry hole saws and is intended to replace water-based cooling methods in dry drilling scenarios involving hard tiles, hard stones, and artificial stones.
Why is cooling and lubrication important when drilling hard tile or stone?
Drilling hard tiles, natural stones, and artificial stones generates substantial friction and heat. Without cooling and lubrication, that heat degrades the diamond cutting segments prematurely, shortens tool life, and can damage the workpiece. This wax addresses both concerns simultaneously by melting during use to manage heat and reduce friction at the cutting edge.
What is the volume of each jar and how does that affect job site use?
Each jar contains 30ml (1 fl. oz) of cooling and lubricating wax. The compact size makes it easy to carry in a tool bag or apron pocket, keeping the consumable accessible at the point of work without taking up significant space on the job site.
