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.

Carbide Tipped 1/4 ” Glass and Tile Drill Bit. It works great when you want to installcertain fixtures in the bathroom walls and you can’t drill thru the ceramic tiles or you have a project that involves drilling thru glass. This 1/4 ” bit is what you need, I had no problem drilling thru ceramic or glass but, you need a good drill to really drill thru with no problem, maybe a high speed drill, good little piece to have in the tool box if you’re into fixing things.

This bit is fine for about 2 holes then it’s shot. I found later that if you keep some water dripping on it as you are drilling it lasts much longer. I had 10 holes to drill in ceramic tile for a shower door. I drilled the first 2 with this bit and it was done, then I went to the same bit but a new one and used water drips to keep it cool and it did the last 8 holes no problem. The key to this is to not let it get HOT.

You ought to test a thing before you review it, but I had no pressing need for a hole anywhere, and the only piece of scrap glass I have is tempered and would shatter if you tried to drill it. So I chucked the bit in the drill press and tried to make a hole in a quartz river stone. I only managed to make a dimple, before the bit dulled aand would go no further.That’s not a fair test – you need a diamond to drill stone. So I resharpened the carbide on a diamond hone, and drilled a series of holes in a coffee cup. You can see the results in the photos. This was fast and did not seem to dull the bit at all, and it still measures about 0.250″. For both tests, I had a squirt bottle of water handy for cooling, lubrication, and dust suppression. As far as testing goes, I think a coffee cup is a lot like a tile.For those of you that are wondering why I would ruin a perfectly good coffee cup, this actually turns it into a nice and interesting planter for the aquarium, and I will probably do several more. Most of the flower pots you can find are either too big or too small. The glazed surface is easy to clean of algae. So this bit is a very useful addition to the toolbox, even if I don’t have a bathroom to remodel.

I used this to drill through glass & it worked fine.
