What Customers Are Saying

This diamond-coated drill bit performs well for drilling holes in ceramic, glass, and tile materials, but requires careful technique. It works best with water to keep the bit cool and clear debris, though dry drilling is more difficult and can cause faster wear. The bit can be challenging to start and keep steady, especially on smooth surfaces, but using a jig or angling the bit initially can help. The bit's durability varies, with some customers reporting multiple uses and others finding it wore out or bent after just a few uses, particularly on thicker or harder materials. Overall, with the right technique and patience, this diamond bit can create clean, chip-free holes in a variety of ceramic and tile surfaces, though for more demanding applications, a higher-quality bit may be required.

One more bit for the box.

Would Recommend

Chewed right through the TileMaster brand porcelain that Lowes carries. Several holes and it is still holding up fine. Keep the RPMs low. I keep a cup of water on hand to wet the cut. Again, keep the RPMs low. Helps to keep the cut nice and cool. If cutting thin material it actually helps to have a wimpy drill on hand. As other have stated, there is no pilot for this bit. But there is an easy fix. Jigs are the carpenter's best friend. Find a piece of thin wood, 1x4 or similar. Type is not re...

Paid more $ for something better that was not.

Would Not Recommend

Used for 6 holes and on the 7th the bit twisted in half and broke. Drilling Lowe’s ceramic tile made by Allen + Roth. A masonry bit finished my job.
