Drill bit for glass and tile Bosch B 2608587157 3 mm solid carbide cylindrical shank

Bosch drill bit B 2608587157 is a 3 mm solid carbide bit engineered for drilling glass and ceramic tiles. The bit has a cylindrical shank designed for standard chucks and a carbide tip that provides precise cutting and improved wear resistance. It is intended for clean, accurate holes in fragile materials used during renovation, tile fitting, sanitary installations and light DIY tasks.

Advantages

The solid carbide construction ensures high hardness and good edge retention when drilling brittle surfaces such as glass and glazed tiles. The carbide tip geometry enables precise chip removal and minimizes the risk of cracking or chipping around the hole. The cylindrical shank fits conventional drill chucks for straightforward tool setup, and the 3 mm diameter allows for small-diameter anchor or fastening holes without unnecessary material removal.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in glass panes and mirrors
• Drilling through ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Creating small anchor or fastening holes for sanitary fittings
• Light renovation and DIY tasks involving fragile materials

Key specifications

• Tip material: solid carbide
• Shank type: cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Diameter: 3 mm
• Primary application: glass and ceramic tiles
• Intended use: manual and machine drilling at low to moderate speeds

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Use a low to moderate drill speed and apply light steady pressure; do not force the bit. For glass and tiles, it is recommended to start at a shallow angle or use a guide to prevent wandering, then straighten the drill as the cutting edge engages. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and reduce heat buildup. If available, use water or coolant sparingly to help dissipate heat, taking care to avoid unnecessary slippage on the surface.

Usage recommendations

Use a drill with adjustable speed, start slowly and increase speed only as the bit cuts steadily. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure fragile workpieces. Replace the bit when cutting performance declines to avoid damaging the material.
