In industries like construction, renovation, and fabrication, precision is everything. Working with hard and brittle materials such as porcelain, marble, or glass requires tools that can handle the challenge. That’s why tile and glass drill bits are essential for any professional’s tool kit.
At Scodd Industries, we design porcelain, tile, and glass drill bits to meet the exacting standards of industry experts who demand accuracy and durability on every job.

Best Practices for Using Tile and Glass Drill Bits
Proper technique ensures both safety and quality. Follow these best practices to maximize your bit’s performance:
- Mark the Spot: Use spear-tipped drill bits to prevent the drill from slipping when starting the hole. With quality bits, masking tape is unnecessary.
- Drill Speed: Will vary depending upon type of bit and manufacturer. Always follow manufacturers’ recommended instructions.
- Keep It Cool: Use water or lubricant throughout the drilling process. Dipping in cool water every 3-8 seconds, depending upon hardness of the substrate.
- Hammer Function: Most Masonry style bits can be used with a hammer function. Care should be taken when drilling porcelain with a hammer drill. Always keep the drill in regular rotation mode for spear-tipped bits. Spear-tipped bits are recommended to avoid cracking or damaging the material.
Our Scodd Industries porcelain drill bits are designed to stay cool and sharp, even after repeated use, making them the go-to choice for demanding projects.
