Drill bit for glass and ceramic GEKO HEX 6 mm, pack 500

Drill bit for glass and ceramic GEKO HEX 6 mm, pack 500 is a purpose-made cutting tool for drilling brittle materials such as glass, ceramic tiles and porcelain. The bit has a 6 mm cutting diameter and a hexagonal shank that enables secure clamping in compatible chucks and quick bit changes. Supplied in a pack of 500, this set is intended for high-volume use in workshops, tile installation projects and production environments where frequent replacement of drill bits is required.

Advantages

The GEKO HEX 6 mm drill bit is designed to reduce chipping and cracking when working with brittle surfaces by offering a tip geometry and grinding suitable for glass and ceramic materials. The hex shank improves torque transfer and minimizes slippage in keyless chucks and quick-change adapters. Packaging in a bulk pack of 500 reduces downtime and simplifies inventory management for professional users and contractors.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in glass panes and mirrors
• Creating openings in ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Repeat operations in tile installation and renovation projects
• High-volume drilling in workshops and production settings

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 6 mm
• Shank type: hexagonal (HEX) for secure grip and quick changes
• Material compatibility: glass, ceramic tiles, porcelain and other brittle materials
• Pack quantity: 500 pieces

How to use

Use at low to moderate drill speeds appropriate for brittle materials and apply steady, light pressure to avoid cracking. Secure the workpiece and, where possible, use a backing support to reduce breakout on the exit side. For glass and tiles, consider cooling the tip with water to reduce heat build-up and prolong bit life. Install the hex shank into a compatible chuck or quick-change adapter and ensure the bit is firmly seated before starting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select a drill speed and feed rate suitable for the material thickness; start with a pilot approach or a starter notch if needed, and use water cooling when drilling extended runs. Replace worn bits promptly to maintain clean holes and reduce the risk of damage to brittle surfaces.
