does this work well for drilling holes in plates, tile or glass?

I tried to use it for sea glass and it did not work well. it was great on sea shells. It did break not long after I bought it. THe switch became loose & a spark flew out. so I stopped using it. I would not recommend it.

It doesn't state on the packaging what materials it can drill through. I haven't tried it on anything but wood. But it does run fast and you have 5 different size bits with it. It's possible because of it's speed it could drill through tile or glass. It's one of those things you'd have to try it on an old piece of glass and see what happens. These bits are easily replaceable if it should break.

No, I would not suggest that. We did it ourself and even drilled into glass tile and it worked great. It is well made, sturdy and looks great.

It works well for plastic (any brand), glass and stoneware bowl/plates for me. The problem for us before was that it doesn't stick to some table surface. The problem now is that my son refuses to use it. Note: he is 2.

It would work. But you would need the right drill to pre drill through your tile without cracking it.

I would not recommend this for tile. To get a clean cut on tile you need to use a wet saw. for a diy job there are alot of cheap wet saws on the market or just buy a cheap die grinder and use a dry cut masonry blade on it. use the right tool for the right job

Yes, if drilling tiles be sure you use masking tape then drill through the tape to prevent cracking the tiles.

I would say yes. I purchased for cutting stone/lapidary work. The only concern I would evaluate is the height of the blade. Will the height of the blade guide allow you to do what you wish. In addition to harder rocks I have also cut glass tile. So like I mentioned, cutting power probably not an issue, height of blade maybe.

I use it for Tapcons and similar on occasion, and it works well enough in concrete. The drill is awesomely powerful for drilling framing members with auger bits and such, which I use it for daily.

I got a bunch of plates at thrift store and drilled holes in them with a diamond 1/4 inch hole saw you can get in tile section at hardware store just keep it wet when drilling or plates will crack as to buying predrilled I don't know sorry

I only used it to cut tile which essentially has a glass coated surface . It worked very well for that . It will be dangerous , be safe .

No....it's designed for ceramic or porcelain. Wet saw with diamond blade for glass is best for glass tiles.

I used this for cutting concrete pavers. I'm not an expert, but i would think it might be a little overkill for cutting tiles, assuming you are referring to ceramic tiles. Probably good for stone tiles.

If you are drilling with a portable hand drill it is probably as good as any method of trying to drill a straight hole. Just clamp it in place. If you are using a drill press it might not be usefull

Not sure about glass but does a good job with laying diagonal cuts and small little cuts for curved walls. Using 18x18 ceramic tile.

I haven't done it but I have seen them with holes. Be sure to use the proper bit and I think you will need to follow the guidelines of drilling glass...keep glass and bit cool.

I use it to cut holes in 3/4 mdf. I wouldnt try cutting much thicker. the plate pins are weak

Well I'm a tile installer and use this saw to cut glass tile frequently. I would suggest that you have a high quality diamond blade though. This saw is capable of cutting something as wide as a wine bottle. It is a awesome saw
