Milwaukee 48-20-8995 Tile Stone Drill Bit 1/2 in 5 Pack

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-20-8995 is a 1/2 inch drill bit engineered for cutting through tile and natural stone. Sold in a 5-pack, this bit is built for professional installers who need consistent, clean penetrations in hard, brittle materials. The geometry and tip design are suited for the controlled drilling that ceramic tile, porcelain, and natural stone demand. At 0.62 pounds for the pack, the set is compact enough for a standard tool bag. This is a purpose-built bit, not a general-purpose masonry bit, and performs best when used with the appropriate drilling technique for hard tile surfaces.

This bit is used in residential and commercial tile installation and stone fabrication work. Typical applications include drilling anchor or fixture holes in ceramic tile walls, porcelain floor tile, granite countertops, and similar natural stone surfaces. Tile setters, remodeling contractors, and plumbers drilling through tile for fixture penetrations are the primary users. The 1/2 inch diameter suits common anchor sleeve sizes and drain or fixture rough-in applications where a clean, accurate hole is required through finished or unfinished tile and stone surfaces.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch diameter sized for common anchor and fixture penetrations in tile and stone
• Designed specifically for tile and natural stone — not a general masonry bit
• Sold as a 5-pack, reducing downtime from tip wear on abrasive materials
• Compact and lightweight at 0.62 pounds for the full pack
• Sold as individual unit (EA) with a package quantity of 5

Compatibility

Designed for use in drilling tile and natural stone surfaces. Suitable for use with standard rotary drills and hammer drills set to rotary-only mode, as required by the substrate being drilled.

Installation Notes

Tile and stone bits should be installed by the tradesperson performing the tile work or related fixture installation. Always use a rotary-only mode when drilling into glazed ceramic or porcelain tile to prevent cracking. A center punch or masking tape starter point helps prevent the bit from walking on smooth glazed surfaces. Keep the bit cool during extended use by applying water or following the bit manufacturer's recommended technique for the specific stone type.
