Freud DMANS1050 Carbide Tipped Tile Stone Drill Bit 3/8 in

Product Description

The FREUD DMANS1050 is a 3/8-inch carbide tipped drill bit engineered for drilling into tile, stone, and glass. Part of the Diablo tile and stone bit lineup, it features a multi-ground carbide tip that is optimized through a proprietary brazing and hardening process to extend service life and maintain cutting speed over repeated use. The tip geometry enables aggressive starts without skipping, producing clean, accurate holes in hard, brittle materials. The 3-flat shank design locks securely into drill chucks to eliminate bit spin during operation. Sold in a 4-pack, making it a practical choice for jobs requiring multiple clean-bore penetrations.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial tile installation, stone countertop work, and glass drilling applications. Tile setters, countertop fabricators, and remodeling contractors use this bit when making fixture cutouts or anchoring into hard tile and stone surfaces. The carbide tip construction is appropriate for use in rotary drills when working with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and glass substrates.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by tile setters and countertop fabricators using standard corded or cordless rotary drills. Always use water or appropriate coolant when drilling glass or dense stone to prevent tip overheating and material cracking. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to avoid chipping at the entry point. Do not use this bit in hammer drill mode on tile or glass substrates.
