What sizes are included in the set?

What should I do if the drill bit gets dull?

Are these bits suitable for drilling into walls behind the tile?

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not cutting or is cutting slowly.

Ensure you are using the correct speed and pressure. Lubricate the bit with water if drilling tiles. Check if the bit is dull; consider replacing it if it is.

Tile or glass is cracking during drilling.

Reduce the drilling speed and apply less pressure. Make sure the drill bit is sharp. Consider using a pilot hole for thicker materials.

Drill bit is slipping on the surface.

Use a center punch to create a small indentation at the starting point. Ensure the drill bit is perpendicular to the surface.
