How to Choose the Right Bit
Quality matters when drilling glass. Here’s what to look for:
- Material: Diamond-coated bits, like our Fixtec range, ensure clean cuts and long-lasting performance.
- Size: Match the bit to your task—3mm for small holes, 12mm for larger fittings.
- Fit: Fixtec’s standard shank works with most drills, corded or cordless.
- Reliability: Trust Fixtec for proven quality, backed by The Tool Tuckshop.
Drilling Glass Like a Pro
Follow these steps for flawless results:
- Prep Safely: Wear safety glasses and gloves; secure the glass with clamps or tape.
- Mark It: Use tape or a marker to pinpoint your hole and prevent slipping.
- Cool It: Keep the bit and glass cool with water (spray or reservoir) or cutting oil. Pro Tip: Cooling extends bit life!
- Go Slow: Drill at 400-600 RPM with light pressure—let the bit do the work.
- Stage It: Drill in bursts, cooling between stages. For thick glass, finish from the other side.
Top Tips for Success
- Pilot Hole: Start small (e.g., 3mm) before using a larger bit.
- Angle Right: Keep the drill at 90 degrees to avoid cracks.
- Double Tape: Tape both sides to reduce chipping.
- No Force: If it’s not cutting, add coolant—don’t push harder.
