What type of masonry bit is required?

Began by drilling a smaller hole, 1/4", than drill the final size. This technique is especially useful when drilling concrete.

yes would need right bit for granite. Drill would be fine. Might wobble the granite a little if the pressure wavers or changes in any way. Tim

I mounted some brackets for a shelf in cinder blocks (not stone but should work unless it's granite or something) and you will need a masonry drill bit for your pilot holes and specific type of screw (can't remember exactly), perhaps 'masonry' screw. Mine were blue (anodized?) and they have and will never come loose. It is..ahem.. rock hard.

I haven't tried that, but with a masonry bit it should. It's quite a nice tool. Drives screws like "butter"

Actually, I think this is not what you want. Tile drill bits are shaped quite differently and are designed to minimize cracking the tile or the tile glazing. Suggest you check out tile bits or at least try a masonry bit on a piece of similar tile you don't care about.

The bits are pretty standard. You'll find them at most hardware stores. I have seen them for sure at Home Depot.

Any drill bit will work. Home Depot, Walmart, Sears, Amazon, Lowes, any hardware store. Bits with the 1/4 inch adapter on the end are at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Amazon.

Not really certain but, it's probably not long enough. Try a large and long masonry bit and/or call a local paving stone supplier and ask what they use.

I think you would need a special drill bit. I actually mounted mine to the frame of my exterior door (which is wood) where the previous house numbers were placed, so I didn't have to deal with the issue of mounting to brick. Sorry this isn't very helpful!

Yup, with a proper masonry bit the drill will make holes in most concrete that doesn't have re-bar in it.

You should use a masonry bit when you drill into concrete, brick or mortar.

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

NO! Look for bits labeled as masonry bits. They have a completely different tip.

Don't know, I used it with a masonry bit to chip away in a cement block to make a small hole larger.

If the wall is wood or drywall it will easily drill holes. If it's any kind of masonry, it will drill it depending on the size of the hole. Up to 3/8 inch with a masonry bit will work, but it will take some time and let the bit cool every few minutes.

I used a 1/8 inch bit. Maxxair website should list that, plus it is listed in instructions. Very easy.

The bit sizes that are included are (1) 5/32 x 4 in. x 6 in., (1) 3/16 in. x 4 in. x 6 in., (1) 1/4 in. x 2 in. x 4 in., (1) 3/8 in. x 4 in. x 6 in., (1) flat chisel, (1) point chisel in. I really can't suggest a more complete kit without knowing what bit sizes you are needing. These drill bit provide a great range of bit sizes that insure fast impact when working with concrete, stone, and masonry.
