Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Porcelain Quickbit?
The Porcelain Quickbit is a high-performance spear-tip carbide drill bit engineered to drill clean, fast holes through hard materials — no pilot hole required, no cracking, no chipping.
What materials can it drill through?
The Porcelain Quickbit is designed for:
- Porcelain tile
- Ceramic tile
- Marble
- Granite
- Glass
- And more hard tile surfaces
Does it require water?
Yes. Always use water as a coolant while drilling. This extends bit life and improves performance.
What drill should I use?
- Use a battery-powered hand drill
- Set to medium speed (approximately 2,000–2,300 RPM)
- Apply firm, steady pressure
What speed should I drill at?
We recommend approximately 2,000–2,300 RPM at medium speed with consistent pressure. Too much speed without water cooling will reduce bit life.
Should I use hammer mode?
No. Never use hammer drill mode. Use standard drilling mode only. Hammer mode will damage both the bit and your tile.
Do I need a pilot hole?
No pilot hole is required. The Porcelain Quickbit's spear-tip design allows it to start directly on the surface without walking or slipping.
How long does the bit last?
Bit life depends on several factors:
- Material being drilled
- Drill speed
- Water cooling
- Pressure applied
- User technique
How do I extend bit life?
- Always use water coolant
- Drill at medium speed
- Apply firm, consistent pressure
- Avoid overheating
- Never use hammer mode
