![]() Here is another good set specially for tiles. The downside is that it does take a lot more elbow grease to make nice clean holes. This tip can smash through the glaze layer and the tip has gripping properties that allow for clean finishes. This tip comes with a carbide finish, meaning it has carbon and another metal mixed into it. This drill bit is ideal for drilling a hole into all kinds of ceramic tiles. This would be ideal for metal tiles after using the twist bit Tile drill bits This tip is optional if you want to make your holes bigger but unless you’re installing something huge, I do not think you need it. This one is responsible for polishing and expanding the size of the hole after the initial drill. This drill bit works on metal and wood also. I would only recommend this drill bit if your ceramic tile is not glazed and you do not wish to spend a few dollars for better drill bit meant for ceramics Step drill bit This drill bit is equivalent to the one size fits all approach, meaning it is very versatile but the quality of drilling might not be that great. This the standard drill bit that everyone gets when you buy a drill. I’ll give a run down of which which bits are suitable for bathroom tiles Twist drill bit ![]() With this in mind, you will need carbide-tipped (or diamond) drill bits in order to work with ceramic as there is a lot of science involved but I won’t bore you to death with that until later on if you truly are curious about the properties of a carbide-tipped drill bit. Your drill will end up sliding around and at its worst, you can definitely injure yourself if you do not use the drill properly. This is because the outermost layer is a glaze that makes the surface smooth and slippery. If you choose any other drill bit like a twist one that is designed for wood and metals, you will have an extremely hard time trying to make a hole in bathroom tiles. The only downside is that diamond drill bits can cost twice as much as carbide drill bits. Normally, if your bathroom tile is glazed then a carbide tip will not be as effective as a diamond tipped drill bit. Whenever it comes to bathroom tile drilling, depending on how smooth the surface is, a carbide tipped drill bit shall suffice or a diamond tipped drill bit as it can literally drill through anything. ![]() ![]() Can you use a hammer drill on bathroom tiles?.Can I use masonry/concrete drill bit on tiles?. ![]()
