What Customers Are Saying
The overall sentiment towards this product is mixed. While some found it effective at drilling through various tile materials, including hard surfaces like marble and granite, others experienced issues with the bit dulling or breaking after just a few uses. The bit seems to work well for softer tiles like travertine, but may struggle with harder materials like porcelain. Drilling slowly and steadily, and potentially using a pilot hole, appears to yield the best results, as going too fast can cause the bit to overheat and fail prematurely. The durability of the bit is inconsistent, with varying reports on its lifespan.

Would RecommendI purchased the 3/16" Bosch NS200 from Lowes, product says it's for Natural Stone, Granite, Ceramic, and Slate.

Quick and easy bit
Got this to use to drill holes in the bathroom wall tiles so I could install some handrails and a few accessories for the tub. Did the job with no issues. Definitely had no issues with subway tiles no chipping or cracking. Used it for about 12 holes before I started to notice any slowing down. Setting the tiles and run some water on it while drilling will drastically increase it’s life especially with thicker tiles.

7 holes, porcelain tile, no issues
Would RecommendFollowed instructions and it worked great- taped area, marked spot, with light taps using a hammer- created a small divet so the bit didnt walk. By the seventh hole it was cutting slower, but worked well and still expect a number of uses left in it.
