❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials can this carbide-tipped bit drill through?
A: This 3/16" bit drills through tile, ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, concrete, brick, masonry, and other hard materials commonly found in construction and renovation projects.

Q: What is the advantage of carbide-tipped over standard steel bits?
A: Carbide tips are extremely hard and heat-resistant, lasting significantly longer than standard steel when drilling hard materials. They maintain sharp cutting edges and resist wear from abrasive materials.

Q: Can I use this bit with a regular drill or do I need a hammer drill?
A: This bit works with both standard drills and hammer drills. For harder materials like concrete, a hammer drill provides faster, more efficient drilling with less effort.

Q: What projects is a 3/16" masonry bit commonly used for?
A: Perfect for installing towel bars, toilet paper holders, shelving brackets, picture hangers, electrical boxes, light fixtures, and other hardware requiring small anchor holes in tile or masonry.

Q: How do I prevent the bit from walking when starting a hole?
A: Start at low speed with light pressure, use a center punch or tape to mark the spot, and gradually increase speed once the bit engages the material.

Q: Can I use this bit on porcelain tile?
A: Yes! Carbide-tipped bits are ideal for porcelain tile. Use steady pressure, moderate speed, and consider using water for cooling on larger holes to prevent cracking.

Q: How long does a carbide-tipped masonry bit typically last?
A: With proper use and care, carbide-tipped bits last significantly longer than standard bits—often drilling hundreds of holes depending on material hardness and drilling technique.

Q: Is this a professional-quality bit?
A: Absolutely! Diablo Tools is known for professional-grade cutting tools trusted by contractors, tile installers, and tradespeople for demanding applications.
