## Summary description

GEKO HEX 12 mm drill bit for glass and ceramic materials. Designed for drilling holes in glass, ceramic tiles and similar brittle surfaces, this bit features a HEX shank for secure chuck grip and stable rotation.

## Long description

The GEKO HEX 12 mm drill bit is designed for drilling precise holes in glass, ceramic tiles and other brittle materials. Its specialized tip and HEX shank provide stable rotation and a secure grip in standard handheld drills, making it suitable for installation, repair and DIY tasks that require clean, accurate holes in fragile surfaces.
Advantages
This drill bit combines a purpose-made cutting geometry for brittle materials with a HEX shank that reduces slippage in the drill chuck. The 12 mm diameter delivers a larger, consistent hole size while the hardened tip maintains shape under moderate pressure. Its construction is intended to minimise cracking and chipping around the drilling area when used correctly.
Suitable for
Drilling holes in glass panes and mirrors
Making openings in ceramic wall and floor tiles
Installation of fixtures that require holes in brittle surfaces
Repair and renovation work where precise, clean holes are needed
When it may not be suitable
This drill bit is not intended for use on hard metals, reinforced concrete, or masonry; attempting to drill such materials may damage the bit and the workpiece. It may also be unsuitable for very thick or tempered glass where specialised equipment and techniques are required to avoid cracking.
Key specifications
Working material compatibility: glass and ceramic materials
Shank type: HEX shank for secure chuck engagement
Diameter: 12 mm
Intended use: handheld electric drills
Tip type: hardened/specialized tip for brittle surfaces
How to use
Mark the drilling position and secure the glass or tile firmly to prevent movement. Use a low to medium drill speed and apply gentle, steady pressure to avoid overheating and cracking. Consider using water as a coolant to reduce heat buildup and to sweep dust away. Start with a small pilot indentation if necessary, then proceed until the hole is completed. After drilling, clean the edges carefully to remove any loose particles.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that the bit diameter (12 mm) matches the required hole size for your fixture or fitting.
Confirm compatibility with your drill chuck and the advantage of a HEX shank for reduced slippage.
Check the material type—this bit is optimised for glass and ceramic, not for metal or masonry.
Usage recommendations
Use low to medium speed, steady pressure, and cooling (water) when drilling; secure the workpiece and avoid drilling tempered glass without professional guidance to reduce the risk of cracking.
