Solid, well made bit. Very good on all surfaces, especially glass. But will wobble if you don’t have a good steady starting position

The drill was able to cut through a glass bottle which is what it was purchased for.

I had never tried to drill a hole in glass bottles before, and I soon discovered a glass and tile drill bit will not work for what I needed to do. I found the information I needed on “You-Tube” and then found that Home Depot had what I needed at the best price.

These bits wre able to drill into hard concrete that carbide bits in a hammer drill struggled with. 50 year old concrete is harder than I believed.

Excellent diamond drill bit. Drilled a perfect 1/2 inch hole in the bottom of a Vodka bottle for lights. This was the first time I had tried this. Take your time and keep plenty of water on the bit. I built a device to submerge the entire bottle into the water with approximately 1/8 inch of water above the bottom of the bottle. Took me about 5 minutes to drill through the glass. Just take your time and let the drill and bit do the work. It met all my expectations and can’t wait to do another bottle.

This bit allows better flow of liquid to lubricate the glass while cutting. I have been purchasing other bits but this one seems to last longer. Better quality. I have not used on marble or other materials but believe it would work just as well.

I bought the 1/4″ version of this bit to drill holes in high quality 5/16 ceramic wall tile for towel bars, safety bars, etc.I have done 30 holes, and the bit is still going strong. I keep it wet (important) by holding a spounge a couple inches above the bit, and slowly squeezing out a trickle of water which runs down the wall. Two hands are needed to hold the drill until the glazed surface is penetrated, but after that, I use at least a couple of fingers to hold the spounge (a helper would be even better).Note — at the beginning of a hole, the bit can skid out of place (probably like any tile bit) if you’re not very careful. A drill with an extra support handle is helpful. Never let the spounge get close to the bit… it will grab it.

Needed to drill hole in glass, pointed masonry bits resulted in cracks and breakage, this worked on glass very well, no excess heating, good productivity.

Worked very well (but took patience & 20 minutes) on a ceramic pot that was 5/16″ thick.

Odie Gibson (verified owner) – June 8, 2021

The drill bit was very easy to use. I used it to drill holes in bottles and it was very easy to use . I put 5 holes in the bottles in about 15 mins.and did not break a bottle. Would recommend it thoroughly.
