Drill bit for glass and tiles GEKO 6 x 65 mm

GEKO drill bit for glass and tiles, size 6 x 65 mm, is designed to create precise holes in fragile materials such as glass, ceramic tiles and porcelain. The bit's geometry and cutting edge are optimized to reduce chipping and cracking when starting and finishing holes, allowing controlled drilling in delicate surfaces. It can be used with handheld drills and drill presses for installation and repair tasks that require neat, accurate holes.

Advantages

The drill bit offers a focused cutting point and a hardened tip that improves stability and reduces slippage on smooth surfaces. Its 6 mm diameter and 65 mm overall length provide sufficient reach for typical tile and glass installations while keeping control during drilling. The bit produces clean holes with minimal micro-fractures and is suitable for both through-holes and shallow bore operations in brittle materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in ceramic wall and floor tiles
• Creating openings in glass panes and mirrors
• Installing fixtures in porcelain sanitaryware
• Small repair and renovation tasks on fragile surfaces

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 65 mm
• Material: hardened cutting tip suitable for brittle materials
• Recommended use: glass, ceramic tiles, porcelain and similar fragile substrates
• Compatibility: handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Mark the drilling point clearly and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Start drilling at low speed with light, steady pressure to avoid overheating and reduce the risk of cracking. For glass and very smooth tiles, place masking tape over the mark or use a centering punch to prevent the bit from skating. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and, if recommended for the material, apply coolant or water to keep the tip cool. Finish the hole with gradually increased speed only after a clean pilot is established.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves. Avoid excessive force and high speed when drilling fragile materials. For large diameter or deep holes in glass or tile, consider using step drills or diamond tooling and consult material-specific guidance.
