Tungsten Carbide Masonry Drill Bits

Tungsten carbide masonry drill bits are most commonly used in the home. The Masonry drill bit is generally silver in color and the tip looks spade like and the tip is normally painted red. They are used for drilling into brick, block, stone, quarry tiles or concrete. The cutting tip is made from tungsten carbide bonded to a spiraled steel shaft. These bits are used with a hammer action drill with or without speed variation, depending on what you are drilling into. Beware of cheap masonry bits as they will tend to break, shatter or even melt from too much force or heat that they generate. It is good to make sure that when you buy masonry bits that you talk to your hardware dealer and get the best option on masonry bits available.

Use a variable speed drill when drilling into harder surfaces. The harder the surface, the slower you set your drill speed. This will prevent the bit and the drill from being damaged and always make sure that when drilling with tungsten carbide masonry drill bits that you drill is set to the hammer action. This moves the bit back and forth while drilling in order to pound the surface to gain more depth without any damage.

You can use a masonry drill bit to drill into ceramic tiles. Should you do this, make sure that the hammer switch is in the off position and drill into the tile at a slower speed to prevent the tile from cracking.(The End )
