Bosch Professional glass and tile drill bits represent decades of German engineering expertise, specifically designed to tackle the most demanding drilling applications in ceramic, porcelain, glass, and natural stone. Built for professional tradesmen and serious DIY enthusiasts, these precision-engineered bits deliver clean, accurate holes without chipping or cracking delicate materials. Whether you're a tiler working on bathroom installations or a general tradesman handling kitchen splashbacks, Bosch Professional provides the reliability and performance you need on every job.

The Bosch Professional range features advanced carbide tips and specialised geometries that reduce drilling pressure whilst maximising efficiency. From compact 3mm bits for fixing mirrors to larger diameter options for plumbing penetrations, each drill bit is manufactured to exacting standards that ensure consistent results across glass, ceramic tiles, granite, and marble surfaces.

Why Choose Bosch Professional?

Bosch Professional glass and tile drill bits stand apart through their innovative design and robust construction. The precision-ground carbide tips maintain sharpness throughout extended use, significantly reducing the risk of material damage during drilling. Their specialised spear-point geometry ensures accurate positioning and prevents wandering, whilst the optimised flute design efficiently removes debris to keep the cutting area cool.

Professional tradesmen trust Bosch for several key reasons: exceptional durability that reduces bit replacement costs, consistent performance across various tile densities and glass thicknesses, and compatibility with both corded and cordless drill drivers. The bits work effectively at lower speeds, making them ideal for controlled drilling in expensive materials where mistakes are costly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Bosch Professional glass and tile bits be used with cordless drills?

Yes, Bosch Professional glass and tile drill bits work excellently with cordless drills. Use a lower speed setting (typically 400-600 RPM) and ensure your drill is set to standard rotation mode (not hammer action). The bits' efficient cutting design requires minimal pressure, making them ideal for battery-powered tools.

Do I need to use water when drilling with these bits?

Whilst not always essential for smaller holes in standard ceramic tiles, using water or a lubricant significantly extends bit life and reduces the risk of cracking. For porcelain, glass, or natural stone, water cooling is highly recommended. A simple spray bottle works well for most applications.

How long do Bosch Professional glass and tile bits typically last?

With proper use and care, Bosch Professional bits can drill hundreds of holes. Lifespan depends on material hardness, drilling technique, and whether adequate cooling is used. Professional tradesmen report significantly longer service life compared to standard bits, making them a cost-effective choice for regular use.
