Bsc Preferred QJDIB-GT-002 Glass Tile Drill Bit 3/16 in

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED QJDIB-GT-002 is a 3/16-inch carbide-tipped drill bit engineered for drilling through glass tile and ceramic tile. The exact-point tip geometry reduces bit walking at the start of a hole, which is critical when working with hard, brittle surfaces that crack or chip under lateral force. The carbide construction provides the hardness needed to cut cleanly through glazed and unglazed tile materials. This bit is suited for tile setters, glaziers, and general contractors who need precise, controlled entry points without damaging surrounding tile work.

This drill bit is intended for use in residential and light commercial tile installation and repair applications. It is most commonly used when mounting fixtures, hardware, or fasteners through glass tile backsplashes, decorative ceramic tile, and similar hard surface materials. The 3/16-inch diameter is a common pilot-hole size for anchors and light-duty fasteners used in tile work.

Key Features

• Carbide tip for cutting hardness suitable for glass and ceramic tile
• Exact-point start geometry reduces bit walking on smooth, hard surfaces
• 3/16-inch diameter suits standard anchor and fastener pilot-hole applications
• Designed to minimize chipping and cracking on delicate tile materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement-style drill bit compatible with standard rotary drills accepting 3/16-inch round-shank bits for use in glass tile and ceramic tile drilling applications.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a variable-speed drill and start at low RPM to allow the point to seat before increasing speed. Keep water or cutting fluid on the work surface when drilling glass tile to reduce heat buildup and minimize the risk of cracking. Wear appropriate eye protection when drilling hard tile materials. Do not use hammer-drill mode on glass or ceramic tile surfaces.
