Bsc Preferred QJDIB-GT-005 Glass Tile Drill Bit 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED QJDIB-GT-005 is a 3/8-inch glass tile drill bit engineered for controlled, accurate drilling through glass and ceramic tile. The carbide tip provides durability and edge retention on hard, brittle surfaces. An exact point start geometry reduces bit walking at the point of contact, allowing the user to establish a precise entry point without the bit sliding across the tile face. This bit is suited for trade professionals and skilled installers who need repeatable, clean holes in delicate finish materials without cracking or chipping the surface.

This drill bit is intended for use in glass, ceramic tile, and similar hard, brittle materials. Typical applications include plumbing rough-in through tiled surfaces, electrical box penetrations through backsplash tile, and fixture mounting through glass panels. It is sized at 3/8 inch, a common diameter for through-hole work with anchors and standoffs used in tile installations across residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• Carbide tip for extended durability on glass and ceramic surfaces
• Exact point start geometry reduces bit walking on smooth tile faces
• 3/8-inch diameter suits common anchor and standoff applications
• Engineered for clean, chip-minimized entry on brittle finish materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-inch chuck rotary drills and drill drivers for drilling through glass and ceramic tile applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tile setter, plumber, or electrician depending on the application. Use low drill speed with consistent light pressure and apply water or cutting fluid at the drill point to manage heat buildup in the tile. Never apply high torque or hammer mode when drilling glass or ceramic tile, as impact force will crack the material. Follow applicable trade codes and manufacturer guidelines for anchor sizing and placement.
