But what's the answer?

"You should have no problem drilling 5 holes. We have customers reporting
10-20 holes and still going. Please call or email if you have any problems."

Most abrasive diamond bits like that will last quite a long time. As they wear, they expose new abrasive material which keep them sharp.

But it also depends on what you are cutting with them. Glass dust won't clog up the abrasive as much as wood or plastic would.

Yeah there customer service is great I ordered some stuff last week started to get stuff around to drill my tank and realized one of my bits was the wrong size emailed them new bit on the way no problems.

diamond bits arent so much effected by the material as they are the heat generated by the material....it is a catch 22 though....diamond bits will cut faster when they are hot/warm...this is because they wear faster and like mentioned expose more diamonds...cooler you keep the bit the longer it will last, and the slower it will cut..
