What Customers Are Saying

The diamond-tipped ceramic drill bit generally performs well for drilling holes in ceramic, porcelain, and glass materials, though it requires some technique to use effectively. Many found starting the hole at an angle and using water to keep the bit cool helped produce clean, chip-free holes. However, some reported issues with the bit wandering, wearing down quickly, or struggling with thicker or harder materials. The bit seems to work best for lighter-duty applications when used with care, but may not be suitable for more demanding tasks. Proper technique and patience are key to getting good results.

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.

Ceramic Tile Bit cuts like a charm

Would Recommend

Bit created a nice clean hole in the tiles, including edge cuts that ran off of the tile. There was no significant chipping and the bit didn't noticeably try to pull the workpiece out of my hand as it started to cut. Job quality earned a 5-star rating. The lost star was due to the waste being hard to remove from the bit after the cut was complete. Finished DIY job looked professional. Perfect size to hide holes but work on plumbing in the future.

Cuts a nice smooth hole

Would Recommend

This cutter performs better when water is added, it will also cut dry. Will need to cut a hole with a drill bit in some scrap wood otherwise this bit will wonder all over and then clamp it to the tile piece for easier drilling
