What Customers Are Saying

The tile drill bit provides mixed performance. It can effectively and efficiently drill clean, precise holes through ceramic and porcelain tiles, especially when used with a steady speed, water cooling, and a drill press. However, some users reported issues with the bit breaking or becoming unusable after just a few holes, even with careful use. The bit may also get too hot and vibrate or lose its grip. Overall, the bit can work well if used properly, but its durability may be a concern, especially for larger projects.

Great tool for drilling tile

Would Recommend

Needed to drill holes in some tile above above the stove in our kitchen to install a new microwave. These really did the trick. Didn’t need to score a starting mark. Marked the spot with a sharpie and drilled away. Nice sharp tip stayed the course and did not move off the mark. Glad I purchased the set of four instead of just the one I needed. Will definitely come in handy in the future. Highly recommend.

Best tile bit I’ve found.

Would Recommend

These are a great bit for hard tile. The trick is to use a slow speed take your time and let it cool off. Cuts faster the Bosch.

Use water. Not between tiles and NO hammer drill!

Would Recommend

Great bit! Did a fantastic job on porcelain tile! This bit says use water right on the front of the package! Those of you who are complaining about heat probably didn't use a spray bottle while drilling. That is a must!!! If you drill in the grout line between 2 tiles, your bit will get pinched and break! You must go slow when drilling in a grout line, or move your hole to the full tile. Highly recommended!

Good Value

Would Recommend

I purchased two of these high speed drill bits to drill the holes for a shower door. It was a total of 18 holes through wall tile. Because of past experience with these types of bits, I decided I was going to need two. However using water when did the entire job. A good product that does it’s job! Pastor Brett Amarillo Texas

it's not a twist drill as I know

Would Recommend

this is a great item for drilling porcelain. because of the much different drill tip angle, cuts almost like butter compared to spade drill tip. not quite like butter when you are being cautious as you should, but much faster.
