DART 5mm Tile/Glass Drill TDC05

The DART 5 mm Tile/Glass Drill Bit (TDC05) is a precision-engineered bit built for clean, reliable drilling through delicate materials such as ceramic tile, porcelain, glass and mirrors. It’s constructed with a straight carbon-steel shank and a tungsten-carbide tip to deliver strength, sharpness and durability — even when working on hard tiled surfaces. The drill’s spear-point tip ensures a stable start with minimal skidding, while the carbide cutting head maintains edge integrity under abrasive tile and glass drilling conditions. This makes TDC05 a dependable choice for tradespeople and DIYers alike when installing fixtures, fittings or running services through tiles and glazed surfaces.

Key Features:

• Spear-point tungsten-carbide tip — for clean, accurate starts and minimal surface cracking.

• Carbon-steel shank — strong foundation for controlled drilling and good life span.

• 5 mm diameter — useful for small-hole drilling tasks such as fixtures, anchors or pilot holes in tile, glass or ceramic.

• Designed for tile, glass, mirror, and ceramic surfaces — not masonry or wood.

• Compatible with standard drills — ideal for both professional and home use.

Applications:
Best suited for drilling holes in bathroom or kitchen tiles, glazing tasks, mounting mirrors, fixing towel rails or accessories, and any job requiring small-diameter holes through tile, glass or ceramic panels.
