Used this drill for wall anchors. Went through tile like butter. Remember to use tape on the surface so as not to scratch or chip the tile. Go at a slow to moderate speed when drilling with light to medium pressure. Drill was strong and remained sharp after drilling six holes. The shorter you hold it in the drill chuck to more accurate you can be with no flexing.

Goal was to drill holes through tiles to screw few things. I tried brick & masonry bits with no luck, until I found this. Purchased this one & picked it up at a local home depot store. Nice fast shipping. First, I tried it on regular drill mode, it was challenging. Turned it onto hammer mode & with little bit of water presence drill bit started going through like a butter.So, my recommendation is when you use this on tiles just add little bit of water or dip the bit in cold water time to time, it will go through like butter.

The tips broke off easily.. not worth the money I spent on them

This glass and tile drill bit works surprisingly well from what I can tell. I’ve never used a drill bit to drill a whole in glass so I don’t have anything to compare it too. I got it to drill some drain holes in some glass flower pots and it work well. Drilled a nice hole and didn’t break or chip the glass. Definitely recommend wearing safety glasses and a mask. Recommend for anyone needing to drill holes in glass

Simple enough design that cut through ceramic floor tile with ease. I experienced zero travel when starting the hole. No vibration while drilling and the residual heat from the bit was minimum when I was done with each hole.Small enough to fit in any tool box.If you are in the trades or a home do it yourselfer, this bit will save you a lot of aggravation.

Drill bit was received and used next day, wasn’t quite sure how it would perform. While the shank on the bit is shorter than I prefer it is sufficient for the job intended for most jobs. I was apprehensive that the bit might “slide around” upon first starting however it performed excellently. One point of caution would be that insure that what you are drilling into is securely held down. A uneven base can result in cracking and breaking of the tile or glass being drilled.

We really needed a glass drill bit for several up-and-coming projects on our ranch. Because of the round shank, this one was a bit disappointing. Although the carbide tip would make for very smooth drilling, the round shank causes slip requiring multiple adjustments throughout the drilling process. It does work well when it is working. It does not save time at all because of these adjustment needs.

Carbide tip drill bit that leaves a clean one quarter inch cut. The bit was a little shorter than I expected, measuring only about two and one half inches long. The bit measures one quarter inch wide.In the past, I’ve used cement bits to cut through tile. It was always difficult to break through the surface and then keeping the bit straight. Not so with this bit. I tested it against a tile and it easily broke the surface and left a clean cut.

Worked perfectly on ceramic flower pots

This 3/16 Carbide Glass and Tile drill bit works. I utilized it to drill a pilot hole in tile to prevent other bits from walking without a drill guide. This is a great economical alternative to diamond bit. I utilized a spray bottle to lubricate the bit to keep the bit from burning it out. It’s a good addition to those that do tile work. I recommend this bit.

The 1/4 in. Carbide Tipped Glass and Tile Drill Bit is great I used it when I received it. It is sharp and easy to use. I drilled several holes to secure handicapped grab bars in my bath rooms and in one bathroom I used to it to drill holes for parts of my faucet hardware. I also use it to drill wholes in my clay plant pots for drainage. I would recommend this bit to anyone.

The drill bit works. It does do the job of drilling holes on tile and glass as said, but the issues is that it is very slow to do the process.One thing good about it is it does not walk when starting the drilling, and I really appreciate that. The issue for me is the time being taken to drill one hole. I wish it could do a little bit faster. The holes made in the tile and glass was very clean.

Carbide tip glass and tile drill bit is very unique. Very small to begin with in size and the carbide tip is welded in place. Standard procedure for these delicate bits. When you use it you must be careful with the glass or tile so that you don’t shatter it by drilling. Steady pressure but with a delicate touch. Took a couple tries to learn the proper technique. Very sturdy and sharp bit. Recommend.

The 1/4 inch Carbide Tipped Drill Bit for GLASS and TILE applications is a top quality bit. It is sized for use to provide a hole on the surface of glass or a tile surface [or in tile grout]. I use it for adding holes to install plastic anchors for attaching various Bath/Kitchen ‘hardware’ to a Tiled surface or putting a hole through a Glass surface. I have found that using a drilling guide to hold the point steady in the spot you are drilling and using a slow start speed works best . I also will add Tape to the area where the hole will be drilled to help protect from sliding around on the hard slick surface. I would recommend this product for these applications. I also recommend that you have a few PRACTICE pieces of tile or glass to practice on to develop a ‘technique’ before going right into drilling on your actual projects. PapaBear1

worked great on ceramic tile. just make sure to dip in water after every 2/3 seconds of use.

I wanted to drill a hole in the bottom of a flower pot. This bit worked perfectly. Drilled a decent hole, without chipping or cracking the pot. I ordered online and picked up a couple of days later in store. THank you! (Isn’t it good when something works the way it should?!)

Had to put shower door on and to do that had to drill though the tile I had installed. This is the first thing I have found that would drill right though tile with no problem. Was able to get door on and looks great. Don’t no how I would have got it on without this Tile drill bit. I had tried several other bits with no luck so I would recommed it highly

This carbide tip drill bit makes a nice one quarter inch cut. The bit is shorter than one would expected, measuring only two and one half inches long. After inserting in the drill chuck it only make a little over an inch and half deep cut. The hole it cuts is clean and does measure one quarter inch wide. It definitely is sharp and easy to use. I used it to drill wholes in my clay plant pots for drainage. The carbide tip is welded in place and is very sturdy

Good Morning: I would just like to write my review on the 3/16 inch carbide tipped glass and tile drill bit. The feature on the bit has a strong point on the end like others we’ve purchased but works differently than the ones we used in the past.. Let me say, I would highly recommend this drill bit for drilling holes into glass tiles. It worked great and exceeded our expectations. My husband is remodeling our bathroom and needed a drill bit that was strong enough to drill through laminate and glass tile. He said the bit drilled through cleanly, without much pressure and didn’t smoke or break like a lot of the others he used. He also appreciated the fact that it did the job quickly and quietly. The quality of this item is strong and durable and worth using for glass tile needs. Thank you so very much for using us to test your product.
