Questions & Answers
I drilled two holes in ceramic tile and it is so dull I can not start a third hole. Is this supposed to be working like this?
There are too many variables to determine how long the bit should last however you definitely should be able to drill more than two holes into the tile. We recommend contacting our Product Specialists at 1-877-267-2499 so we can further discuss the issue you are having and possible options we have available to assist you.
It should last longer than it does, but the ones I bought only lasted drilling 2 holes. Do you self a favor and get this one instead... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bosch-5-16-in-Multi-Purpose-Tungsten-Carbide-Drill-Bit-for-Drilling-Tile-Masonry-Wood-Metal-and-Concrete-MP09/301354975

When using Glass and Tile bits, glass that is untempered can be drilled into with no problem. However, if the glass is tempered (heat treated in essence) the glass becomes very brittle and can shatter. Most wine bottles are tempered.
can this be used for drilling holes on bottom of plant pots? i.e., terracotta
Thanks for your question. If the pot is glazed then yes the glass and tile bits would work best. If the pot is not glazed then a masonry drill bit would be recommended, like our HCBG25T.
Best bit to use on travertine tile?? I've heard carbide mason,dimond,etc...
Thanks for your question. We would recommend our diamond hole saws. They are designed for drilling into Travertine, Marble, Slate, Granite, Limestone, Porcelain and Ceramic Tile.
I am using a table drill press. Multi-speed. I have tried a diamond bit (1/16) but it has too much give trying to cut through at a vertical angle. Would this piece work?
Thank you for your question. The best bit to use would be a diamond bit. We have not tested our glass and tile bits for drilling into crystals. They are designed for drilling into glass and tile.
I am drilling a hole on the back at the base, to making a lamp from the liquor bottle.
The Glass & Tile Bits can be used for drilling into a glass bottle as long as the glass is untempered. If the glass is tempered (heat treated) the glass becomes very brittle and can shatter. If the glass is tempered, the manufacturer is supposed to etch the glass at each of the four corners. Also, the drill needs to be ran at a low rpm otherwise the glass being drilled can break. A 1/2" bit would need to be run at 250 rpm or less.
Can this bit be used to drill through a Corian (solid surface) backsplash?
Thank you for your question. We would recommend a diamond hole saw bit like the HDG12 for drilling into a Corian blacksplash.
will this drill bit drill stone (Granite)
No. It wore out trying to drill ceramic tile, which is not as hard as granite.
It may, but you will want to keep the bit cool...
Thank you for your question. The Bosch Glass and Tile drill bits are designed to drill into glass and tile applications. For drilling into stone/granite we would recommend our Diamond Hole Saw #HDG316 which is also available from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bosch-3-16-in-5mm-Diamond-Grit-Hole-Saw-HDG316/203570977?keyword=bosch+hdg316
