Drill bit Dedra DED1533, 6 mm, steel, for glass and tile, 1 pc

Dedra DED1533 drill bit, 6 mm diameter, is a single-piece steel bit designed for drilling clean, precise holes in brittle materials such as glass and ceramic tile. Intended for use with handheld or drill-press tools at appropriate speeds and with suitable cooling or lubrication, this 6 mm bit helps create accurate openings for anchors, fixtures, and fittings during DIY repairs, bathroom or kitchen tiling, and installation tasks on glazed surfaces.

Advantages

The steel construction provides rigidity and reliable dimensional stability to maintain a consistent 6 mm hole size. The bit geometry is optimised for brittle materials to reduce chipping and cracking when used with correct drilling technique, controlled speed and cooling. Supplied as a single piece, it is easy to store and replace in common drill chucks compatible with 6 mm shanks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in glass panes for light fixtures or fittings
• Creating anchor holes in ceramic or porcelain tiles during installation
• DIY repairs that require precise small-diameter holes in glazed surfaces
• Bathroom and kitchen tiling work where drilled openings are needed for taps or accessories

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Material: steel
• Intended materials: glass, tile (ceramic, porcelain)
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the workpiece to prevent movement and mark the drilling point. Fit the 6 mm Dedra DED1533 bit into a compatible drill chuck and set a low to moderate rotational speed suitable for brittle materials. Begin drilling with light pressure and maintain a steady feed. Apply cooling or lubrication—such as water dripping or a water bath—for glass and ceramic to dissipate heat and reduce the risk of cracking. Withdraw the bit periodically to remove debris and check the hole. After drilling, clean the hole and edges to remove any residual particles.

Usage recommendations

Use protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves) and select a drill with adjustable speed. Do not apply excessive axial force; let the bit cut gradually. For best results on glass, start with a shallow pilot angle or use adhesive tape over the mark to reduce surface chipping. Keep the drilling area cooled with water to extend bit life and protect the material.
