What This Product Is and How It Works

The Arrow Glass Drill Bit 6 mm is a percussion‑capable drill bit engineered for creating holes in brittle, non‑metallic surfaces such as glass and ceramic. Unlike standard metal or masonry bits, the glass bit has a spear‑shaped or arrow‑style tip that engages the surface gently, allowing controlled material removal without causing cracks or splintering.

The bit is used with low speed and steady pressure so that the cutting edges score and penetrate the material with minimal shock.

Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance

This drill bit is typically manufactured from hardened steel with a specialised tip geometry suited to brittle materials. The tip is shaped and ground to reduce stress on the drill interface during penetration. Under typical Kenyan workshop and site conditions—including moderate humidity and dust—the bit performs best when used at recommended speeds and with water lubrication on tiles and glass to reduce heat and friction.

Use of coolant (water) during drilling is advised to prolong bit life and protect the work surface.

Installation, Handling and Compatibility

Fit the glass drill bit into a standard electric or cordless drill with appropriate chuck capacity for the 6 mm shank. Mark the drilling point with non‑slip tape or marker to reduce bit walking, and start drilling at low speed. Apply light, steady pressure without hammer action to avoid cracking the material. For tiles and glass, water or a drip lubrication helps control heat and debris.

Eye protection and gloves are recommended due to the risk of sharp fragments when drilling glass or ceramic.

Typical Applications in Kenya

This bit is commonly used for installations involving glass, ceramic tiles, porcelain slabs, and similar brittle finishes. Typical applications include drilling holes for fixtures on glazed bathroom tiles, shower screens, mirrors, glass panels for shelving, door glass fixings, and decorative tiling work where anchor points or feed‑through holes are required.

It is frequently selected by tilers, fundis, glaziers, and maintenance technicians. For related drilling accessories and tool bits, customers can browse the full range in our Shop or explore the Power Tool Accessories Category.
