Drill Bit KREATOR KRT011103 for Tiles 5 x 68 mm

The KREATOR KRT011103 drill bit for tiles is a 5 x 68 mm carbide-tipped bit engineered to make precise holes in ceramic and similar tile materials. Designed for use with standard rotary drills, this bit delivers controlled drilling for installation tasks where clean edges and accurate hole diameter are required. Its length and diameter suit common fastening and anchor sizes used when fitting fixtures, plumbing elements or electrical boxes through tiled surfaces.

Advantages

The hard tip and optimized flute geometry ensure efficient material removal and reduced chipping on glazed surfaces. Its 5 mm diameter provides compatibility with a wide range of small anchors and fasteners, while the 68 mm overall length allows drilling through tile plus thin substrate layers without changing tools. The bit is compatible with standard drill chucks and offers repeatable hole quality when used with appropriate drilling speed and pressure.

Suitable for

• Drilling precise holes in ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Preparing anchor points for bathroom and kitchen fixtures
• Installing light electrical boxes or conduit through tiled walls
• Plumbing installations that require small-diameter tile penetrations

Key specifications

• Tip material: carbide-tipped for tile applications
• Diameter: 5 mm
• Overall length: 68 mm
• Suitable tool: standard rotary drill with chuck
• Typical use: dry drilling in ceramic and similar tiles

How to use

Secure the tile or ensure the wall surface is stable. Mark the drilling point and, if needed, apply masking tape to reduce surface scratching and slippage. Fit the 5 x 68 mm tile bit into a standard drill chuck and tighten firmly. Start drilling at low speed with light, steady pressure to establish a center; increase speed slightly while maintaining control. Avoid applying excessive force—let the bit cut the material. If drilling through thicker substrate beneath the tile, maintain alignment to prevent bit deflection. After drilling, remove dust from the hole before inserting anchors or fasteners.

Usage recommendations

Use a pilot start at low RPM to prevent skidding on glazed tiles, and consider masking tape under the drill point. For best results, use intermittent drilling to avoid overheating the tip; allow the bit to cool if extended drilling is required. Wear eye protection and a dust mask when working with tiles.
