worked perfect on my tile to install a glass partition

The Milwaukee carbide glass and tile bit set is a set worth having if you need to drill holes in floor tile. Wall tile like the cheap 4 inch square tile is softer than floor tile and basically any masonary bit will drill through, but when it comes to floor tile, specially porcelain tile, it is much harder and tougher to drill. Masonary bits do not really want to work, but these bits do. One tile I drilled a 1/4″ hole and on the second tile I found it easier to start with the small bit and work my way up to 1/4″

I used Bosch in the past. I like them I bit better

Worked on hard tiles. Works best with study pressure. Let the drill do the work.

I tested the ¼” bit on bottle glass (only disposable glass available). In trying to start the hole, the bit “travelled” along the glass and marked it. See photo. Once it began to cut in, it produced a very fine powder and cut quite slowly. I was being cautious to not press hard to ensure the glass didn’t shatter but I believe I was pressing hard enough for it to cut faster. For glass that was 1/8 to 3/16 thick, it probably took 4 minutes to drill through. Once the bit exited the other side, it did cause some chipping (see photo) on the exit side. Because of that, I recommend holes be started on the side facing outwards so that any chips will be less visible. This will definitely cut a hole without shattering glass. It would be good to know whether or not it can cut faster safely (without causing the glass to shatter) but that will be a future experiment (with safety glasses, long sleeves, and gloves).

I got these bits for a Honey-Do project. I needed to put holes in a Ceramic/Terra-Cotta bowl that was given to my wife a couple of years ago. It didn’t have any drain holes, so it wasn’t used in the way we desired. I used the 1/4″ bit in my Ryobi 1/2 Drill and it cut a hole like butter. I was really impressed with the cutting head of the bit. I’ve used other ceramic bits without this agressive head and they took longer to bite into the hardened glaze. This bit didn’t walk on me but drilled the hole exactly where I marked it.Happy wife – happy life!!

I did not even know these existed, these drills were awesome in drilling holes in ceramic tiles. I was using carbide cement bits prior, never again, these drill bits as a must.

The drill I used for my trial worked amazingly well. I have always had to use the grout joints to hang things on the backsplash and the locations may not always have been in the best spot. This will take care of that as now I can place things wherever I want. I used the 1/8 inch bit on a piece of ceramic tile and it made a very clean hole. I pushed a little more forcefully at first, but took it slowly, stopping to measure my depth several times on this trial. It is recommended that you use more pressure until the end and then just let the drill do the work to finish it up. This will prevent breaking the tile or possibly drilling through the wall into plumbing or electrical wiring. There was a little dust generated so you might want to wear a dust mask along with your safety goggles. The drill will get hot, so be careful not to touch it after use. You might want to use a small set punch to mark your spot before drilling to keep the drill bit from walking.These work on glass as well and are a very nice set of bits.

The bits did their job, quickly.

Excellent tool to have and make the hob smooth and faster

Bought these to drill holes in expensive glass tile. Works like a charm, sharp point meant no wandering when getting started. Just use a slow speed and minimal pressure, let the bit do the work other wise the glass tile will crack.

I’m very happy with these drill bits. I’m installing a shower door and used the bits to install the anchors. They grabbed quickly and went through the tile like I was drilling into a piece of wood. I highly recommend these for drilling into tiles.
