Safety & Best Practices
For best results, use a low drill speed with steady, moderate pressure and apply water or cutting fluid when drilling glass or glazed tile to manage heat build-up. Always wear appropriate eye protection. For more on safe power tool practices, visit the OSHA Power Tools Safety Guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What materials can the Cross Hexagon Carbide Drill Bits cut through?
A: These carbide alloy drill bits are designed for use on ceramic tile, porcelain, glass, mirrors, light metals, and masonry surfaces. The hardened cross-tip cutting edge handles both glazed and unglazed hard surfaces effectively.
Q: What drill is compatible with the hexagon shank on these bits?
A: The hexagon shank fits most standard power drills and drill drivers with a 3-jaw chuck, as well as hex-bit quick-release chuck adaptors. Simply insert the shank into the chuck and tighten securely before drilling.
Q: How do I get clean, accurate holes in tile or glass without cracking?
A: Start at a slow speed to allow the cross-tip to grip the surface and prevent wandering. Apply light, consistent pressure and add a few drops of water at the drilling point to manage heat. Avoid excessive force — let the carbide tip do the work. Using masking tape over the drill point can also help prevent surface chipping on glazed tiles.
