Precision diamond ground, double chamfered spear point tungsten carbide for fast cutting and extreme tool life (when used at slow to medium speeds).
Fast starting with reduced bit wander.
Suitable for use in: glazed and un-glazed ceramic tiles, glazed porcelain tiles, through-body porcelain tiles, plate (float) glass and annealed glass.
Not suitable for use with toughened or laminated safety glass.
Use a slow speed with steady but gentle pressure.
Reduce the pressure at break through.
For increased bit life use a cutting fluid/lubricant such as water or turpentine to reduce heat.
When drilling multiple holes in ceramic tiles, or when drilling vitrified porcelain, we recommend using either Bordo ceramic tile drills, the Bordo mist drill product range or Brilliant Diamond core drills.
Tungsten Carbide (commonly referred to as Carbide) is a chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms.
Carbide is three times stiffer than steel and is much denser than either steel or titanium.
Carbide has a very high abrasion resistance and can also withstand higher temperatures than standard HSS.
Carbide tools are often used for machining hard materials such as ceramics and stainless steel, as well as in situations where other tools would wear away, such as high volume production runs.
Because carbide tools maintain a sharp cutting edge better than other tools, they generally produce a better finish on parts, and their temperature resistance allows faster machining.
Whilst tungsten carbide is extremely hard it is also brittle so it is important to avoid bit “chattering” as this is the most common cause of tool failure.

These drills are designed for drilling glass, tile and other hard, brittle materials.
The tungsten carbide spear point is extremely hard and features uniquely sharpened edges for fast penetration with a reduced need for end thrust.
These drill bits cut clean round holes without chipping or material breakage, and work best with a lubricant such as water to extend bit life.

The Milwaukee® Glass and Tile Drill Bits features an exact start tip for clean holes and minimal walking of the bit in glass and ceramic tile. Our Glass and Tile bits have also been designed with sharpened carbide that allows for faster tile drilling than standard glass and tile drill bits, along with a reinforced carbide head to provide increased durability in high speed drilling applications with drill drivers only. Available sizes range from 4mm up to 16mm.
