Drill Bit MILWAUKEE for Glass and Ceramic 8 x 60 mm

The MILWAUKEE drill bit for glass and ceramic 8 x 60 mm is designed for precise drilling in brittle and glazed materials. It features a geometry and tip suitable for controlled penetration of tiles, glass panes and ceramic fixtures, allowing clean holes when used with appropriate technique. The bit is compatible with standard drills and intended for moderate-speed operation; when combined with steady pressure and cooling or lubrication, it helps minimise chipping and breakage during drilling.

Advantages

This drill bit provides controlled cutting action on glass and ceramic surfaces, producing smooth-edged holes with reduced cracking risk. Its length and diameter balance reach and rigidity for common tiling and glazing tasks. The shank is compatible with standard chucks, enabling straightforward fitting into most corded and cordless drills. Designed for use at moderate speeds, the bit reduces heat build-up when cooling methods are applied.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Drilling holes in glazed ceramic wall and floor tiles
• Making openings in glass panes for fixtures and fittings
• Creating passages in ceramic sanitary ware and bathroom fixtures
• Installing wall anchors in tiled surfaces for shelving and accessories

Key specifications

• Drill type: specialized bit for glass and ceramic
• Diameter: 8 mm
• Total length: 60 mm
• Material and tip geometry: engineered for brittle, glazed materials to reduce chipping
• Shank: suitable for standard drill chucks
• Recommended operation: moderate rotational speed with cooling or lubrication

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the drilling point. Fit the MILWAUKEE 8 x 60 mm bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Start drilling at low speed to establish a precise entry point, then increase to a moderate speed while maintaining steady, even pressure. Use water or a suitable lubricant to cool the bit and material, which reduces heat and minimizes chipping. Avoid excessive force or high speed to prevent cracking of the glass or ceramic. After drilling, clean the hole of debris and inspect the edges before installing anchors or fittings.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clamp or support the material firmly, work from both sides for thicker glass where possible, and keep the drilling area lubricated with water. Wear appropriate eye protection and handle broken fragments with care.
