Will these bits work on porcelain tile?

Could use on porcelain tile but not in the hammer drill.Would be better glass drill bites.

Don't even try. You will ruin your tile. Get a diamond tip drill or hole saw for tile. Low speed and try to keep it wet. If you want to drill concrete I will recommend these bits. Have drilled at least 500 holes with the 1/4" and 5/16" bits and still going strong.

In a hammer drill? No way- This is drill bit a bull in a china shop- you will shatter that tile like glass!

a diamond core bit works best, you can google the subject or view it on Youtube

No, Sir, definitely not! Porcelain tiles are almost thick glass. They are fired in a super-hot kiln longer and hotter these days, which makes them tougher in which to drill holes. You'll need a diamond grit head bit..available at most Lowes and Home Depot for less than $20.00 (Amazon.com and perhaps find one for less, if you can wait for the mail truck). Talk to one of their technical experts in the Tile Department of your home improvement dealer, or you can go on-line to google a you-tube for a do-it-yourself video. The technique for success is to drill very slowly, not anything close to fast high speed, especially if the tiles are irreplaceable or pricey. And keep a plastic spray bottle filled with water handy to spray the bit and tile to keep them both cool. Good fortune to you, Sir. V/R, Howard

I'm not sure. These are good on hardwood floors but try them on slate tile and you will be very disappointed

I have porcelain tiles in my kitchen and REALLY didn't like how this product worked on same......far better results on the vinyl tile in my mud hall/laundry room. Hope this is of help.

Hey Megan, I think it should work not sure though. I don't have porcelain tiles but it's been 6 months it's still good.

I would think you could use it. I use mine on our porcelain tile all the time. Good luck!

My office where it is being used is carpeted, so I'm not sure about porcelain til but I can say the backing is rubberized so my guess is that it would work. I am considering buying another for my tiled kitchen floor and did not even take this into consideration.

They will work fine on dishes. I would avoid using them on the fine china, since they might damage some of the decorative items (gold, etc.). For porcelain or glass, they won't scratch and they will clean fine. They are fairly small, so if you are cleaning a lot of dishes you might want something a bit bigger.

We used a 1/4 inch bit for glass/ceramic, not the pointy tip, but the round tip, fits perfect ! Good Luck

I would say several. I used these to drill holes in hard tiles. Just note start at an angle , other wise the bit will slide across the surface.

I don't think so. they would smooth it out, but not a shiny finish. these pads are for stone,quartz/granite. If you tiles are stone like material then it's will do just fine.

They should. They work with any drill that can hold up to 3/8" drill bits (most normal-duty drills do). Also, although made in China, these bits are high-quality and I have been using them in steel, aluminum, and wood. They are staying sharp. I recommend.

It works with Ceramic Tiles. I assume it will work with porcelain. Make sure you select the correct color option. I was able to make a very good repair ti the chip but the color match was a little off. All in all I am happy with the result because the repair is very strong.

Yes i think so because you have to add them to the piece. I use them because I have tile floor. I hope I helped.

Since each round end is 4" in diameter, you would have to go bigger than that. I understand the standard tile sizes are 4" or 6"; therefore I would say 6" tiles would work.

Kim, not with this tool. It should be able to accomplish drilling in glass substances or ceramic tile but be cautious: drill bit will be very small in size, should be diamond or carbide tipped and rotating speed should be very.....low to avoid high friction temperatures. Before drilling into intended object, try it out on a scrap piece and get sufficient experience with tool and drill bit specification. Good luck! Hasito 3/30/2014

These are 1/4" bits. If you use an adapter you should be able to use them just fine.

Yes, but I would not expect these to perform as well as the much higher priced high speed bits made for commercial applications. Even with the best bits available you may need to replace the bit (maybe more than once) to get a hole through even 1/8 inch steel, especially if you try to go fast or don't use cutting fluid. I assume you know to drill a pilot hole before drilling a large diameter hole.
