Is there a drill bit that drills through grinding, instead of cutting? (lemmy.today)

Is there a drill bit made of the material of grinding wheel of orbital grinder, which breaks down slowly as it drills, or maybe it can be made of like diamond -studded metal file, so that the drill grinds as it drills, instead of cutting through the metal? Thank you for your interest.

That's still a little vague. What are you actually trying to accomplish? What material, what size and orientation (perpendicular or angled) of hole, and what is the hole for?

I'm looking for an answer like "I'm pre-drilling before toe-screwing 3/4" oak for the frame of a cabinet" or "I'm drilling out plug welds in 16 gauge sheet steel"

For all we know, you're having an X/Y problem and the best advice might be to use a drill press or even some other tool entirely.
