Bosch GT600 1/2 Inch Glass Tile Drill Bit 3-pack

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP GT600 is a 1/2 inch carbide-tipped drill bit engineered specifically for drilling through glass and tile surfaces. The precision-ground tip eliminates bit wander and bit walking at the start of the drill stroke, giving the installer a clean, controlled entry point. The reinforced carbide head resists cracking under the lateral stress common in tile work and delivers extended service life compared to standard masonry bits. The innovative cutting geometry reduces the force required to penetrate hard surfaces, allowing the bit to advance faster with less heat buildup. This product is sold as a 3-piece pack.

The GT600 is suited for installation work involving ceramic tile, porcelain tile, glass tile, glass panes, and similar hard, brittle surfaces. It is a practical tool for plumbers and HVAC technicians who need to penetrate tile walls or backsplashes during rough-in or service calls, as well as tile setters and general contractors handling finish work. The 3 flat shank design seats securely in standard drill chucks and prevents rotation or slippage during operation, which is critical when drilling brittle materials that crack under uneven force.

Key Features

• Precision tip geometry eliminates bit wander and bit walking on hard, slick surfaces
• High-quality carbide tip with reinforced head resists cracking and extends service life
• 3 flat shank prevents slippage and rotation in standard drill chucks
• Innovative cutting geometry allows faster drilling with reduced force
• Sold as a 3-piece pack for job-site availability

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting 1/2 inch shank bits. Suitable for drilling glass, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, and similar hard brittle materials.

Installation Notes

Use low drill speed and steady, moderate pressure when starting the hole to allow the precision tip to seat before increasing feed rate. Keep the work surface and bit cool by applying water or an appropriate cutting fluid during drilling to prevent thermal cracking of tile or glass. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Eye protection is required when drilling glass or tile due to the risk of chipping and fracture.
