You measure across the carbide tip as this is the cutting area of the drill. The flutes are there only to bring out the waste materials
When drilling through stone, one should use a tungsten carbide tip. This tip adds much greater stability when drilling, will not go blunt easily or break the stone.
Drill bits for concrete always have a carbide tip welded across the point. This is quite obvious as it sticks out slightly each side of the point.
The colour is irrelevant , that just depends on the manufacturer. To cut through concrete you need a 'carbide tipped' drill bit. This tip is a little wider than the drill bit and is quite obvious.
In a bowl of water use a diamond tip drill and cover the stone with water. you need to use the drill with very little pressure and drill half way then drill from other side to keep from breaking out the sufface of the hole. The drill RPM needs to be at least 10,000 - 15,000 RPM.
Two-fluted and Carbide-tip are some of the different configurations for the Auger Grill Bits. These tip are primarily used on wood and are used in conjunction with the Auger flexi-drill.
A good drill is important for use on concrete walls, but the bit you use can be just as necessary. A hammer drill with bit that has a carbide or diamond tip would be a good recommendation, remember that using goggles is vital because of the concrete dust.
