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.

Porcelain tile

Would Recommend

This bit did it! I didn’t realize how hard of substance....make sure to read to see if the bit is rated for porcelain tile. It will save you $10.

Good Bit

Would Recommend

Bought it to drill through some ceramic tile to mount a grab bar. Works well, just do not get in a hurry. Stop to let it cool for a few second about once a minute.

tile drill bits

Would Recommend

Wasn't sure by looking at these type bits that they would do the job of drilling through ceramic tile. To my surprise I trusted the package and found the bits to perform perfectly. No problem whatsoever.

Life Saver

The backsplash tile in my kitchen was so dense and hard, none of my masonry bits would penetrate it. This bit drilled right though it with no problems.

tile drill bits

Would Recommend

Went through 5 of these to install various racks and clips in newly tiled bathroom. Even with constant water spraying the bits did not last for more than 2 holes. However, these are the only types of bits that work in ceramic or porcelain tile, so plan on them being a consumable.
