Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need special equipment to use Coreplus glass and tile drill bits?

No special equipment is required. Coreplus glass and tile drill bits work with standard corded or cordless drills. For best results, use a variable speed drill set to a slower speed (around 400-600 RPM), apply light pressure, and keep the bit cool with occasional water lubrication. Avoid hammer mode, which can shatter delicate materials.

Can Coreplus bits drill through porcelain tiles?

Yes, Coreplus glass and tile drill bits are designed to handle porcelain, which is one of the hardest tile materials. The carbide construction provides the toughness needed to penetrate dense porcelain whilst the precision tip design prevents cracking. Take your time and let the bit do the work for professional results.

How long do Coreplus glass and tile drill bits last?

Lifespan depends on usage conditions, but with proper care—using appropriate speeds, light pressure, and keeping bits cool—Coreplus bits typically drill dozens of holes before requiring replacement. Avoid excessive force and overheating to maximise their working life.
