FAQs
Can this drill bit be used with a hammer drill?
No, this drill bit is designed for use with standard rotary drill/drivers. Using it in hammer mode can damage the bit and the tile.
Do I need to use water to cool the bit?
No, the PRO Ceramic Dry Drill Bit contains internal cooling wax, making it suitable for dry drilling and eliminating the need for water cooling.
What materials can this drill bit cut?
This bit is specifically designed for hard and soft ceramic tiles. It is not intended for use on glass, metal, concrete, or other masonry.
How long will the drill bit last?
The lifespan depends on the hardness of the tile and the frequency of use. The diamond coating is engineered for long-lasting performance on ceramic materials.
What is the correct drill speed for this bit?
Use a medium to high speed for efficient drilling, but adjust based on the tile's hardness. Avoid excessively high speeds that could generate too much heat or chip the tile.
Can I use this bit for tile drilling on a wall?
Yes, it is suitable for drilling into wall tiles. Ensure the drill is held firmly and perpendicular to the surface.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is not cutting into the tile.
Ensure the drill is set to rotary mode only (no hammer function). Apply steady, consistent pressure. Check if the diamond coating is worn; if so, the bit may need replacement.
Drill bit overheats quickly.
While designed for dry drilling, excessive speed or prolonged continuous drilling without short breaks can cause overheating. Allow the bit to cool periodically. Ensure you are not using hammer mode.
Bit wanders or slides on the tile surface.
Use a center punch or masking tape at the drilling point to create a starting guide. Ensure the drill bit is securely fastened in the chuck and that you are applying firm downward pressure.
Tile cracks during drilling.
Reduce drilling speed and pressure. Ensure the tile is properly supported. For very brittle tiles, consider using a glass/tile drill bit or a slower speed with minimal pressure.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Insert the cylindrical shank of the Bosch PRO Ceramic Dry Drill Bit firmly into the chuck of a standard rotary drill/driver.
Ensure the drill is set to the 'Drill' mode (not hammer drill mode).
Mark the desired drilling location on the tile. It's recommended to start with a center punch or tape to prevent the bit from wandering.
Compatibility:
Drill Type: Compatible with standard rotary drill/drivers with a three-jaw chuck.
Materials: Optimized for hard and soft ceramic tiles. Not recommended for glass, metal, or masonry.
Care:
After use, allow the drill bit to cool down naturally.
Clean any dust or debris from the diamond coating and shank using a dry brush.
Store the drill bit in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, ideally in its original packaging or a protective case.
