Irwin 26134072 Carbide Tile Glass Drill Bit 3/16 in

Product Description

The IRWIN 26134072 is a 3/16-inch carbide-tipped drill bit engineered for clean, precise hole-making in hard, brittle surfaces. It features a spear-point tip geometry that initiates cuts accurately and reduces chipping as it penetrates. Suitable for glass, ceramic tile, and similar hard surfaces, this bit is sized for common fastener and anchor applications encountered during trade installation work. Its compact overall length makes it manageable in tight spaces. Licensed trades and experienced installers working in tile-heavy environments will find this a dependable addition to their drill accessory kit.

This bit is intended for use in residential and commercial applications where drilling into tile, glass, or ceramic is required without cracking or spalling the surrounding material. Typical scenarios include mounting hardware through backsplash tile, setting anchors in ceramic flooring, drilling through glass panels, and similar finish-trade tasks where surface integrity is critical.

Key Features

• Spear-point carbide tip for accurate starts and minimal chipping on hard, brittle surfaces
• 3/16-inch diameter suited for common anchor and fastener hole requirements
• Compatible with standard rotary drills — no hammer mode needed for tile and glass
• Lightweight at 0.028 pounds, reducing fatigue during repetitive drilling tasks
• Country of origin: China

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use carbide spear-point drill bit for use with standard rotary drills in tile, glass, and ceramic drilling applications.

Installation Notes

This bit should be used in rotary-only mode — do not engage the hammer function when drilling tile or glass, as percussive action will crack the workpiece. Apply light, steady pressure and use water or cutting fluid on glass to manage heat buildup and extend tip life. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent shifting. Installation is typically performed by tile setters, glaziers, or general contractors working under applicable building codes.
