FAQs

What materials can I use these drill bits on?

These drill bits are designed for use on ceramic tiles, glass, and mirrors. They are also suitable for plaster-backed tiles.

Do I need to use water when drilling?

Yes, water is essential. It acts as a lubricant and coolant, preventing overheating and ensuring clean holes.

What speed should I use when drilling?

Always use a low speed setting on your drill for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the drill bit and the material.

Can I use these bits with an impact drill?

No, turn off the hammer action if using with an impact or percussion drill. The impact action can damage the bit and the material.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm drill bits.

How do I store the drill bits?

Store the drill bits in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.

What should I do if the bit gets stuck?

Stop drilling immediately. Try reversing the drill slowly to remove the bit. If it is still stuck, carefully remove the material around the bit.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not making a hole.

Ensure you are using low speed, applying gentle pressure, and using water as a lubricant. Check that the drill bit is sharp and not damaged.

Holes are chipping the material.

Reduce pressure and ensure the drill is at a low speed. Make sure to use water and consider using a pilot hole.

Drill bit is overheating.

Increase water lubrication and reduce drilling speed. Take breaks to let the bit cool down if necessary.
