Ranura en V
V-Groove tile drill bits are carbide-tipped bits with a V-shaped tip that centres itself on glazed porcelain, ceramic and stone — the bit shower door and glass installers use for anchor holes. ITM V-Groove 25-packs for tile; Relton Groo-V® for tile, brick and block. Sold by the box.
Choosing a V-Groove tile bit
Common questions
Do V-Groove bits drill porcelain?
Yes. The V-ground carbide tip is designed for glazed porcelain and ceramic, and also drills granite and marble. On tile, use rotation only at medium speed with light pressure; for very hard rectified porcelain or holes over 1/2", a diamond core bit is the better tool.
Hammer drill or rotation only?
It depends on the bit and the material. ITM V-Groove tile bits are rotation only — hammer action cracks tile and chips the tip. Relton Groo-V® masonry drills are rated for hammer drills in brick, block and concrete; when you move to tile, switch the hammer off.
Can I buy a single bit instead of a box of 25?
The 3/16" and 1/4" ITM V-Groove sizes come in boxes of 25 — they are consumables for installers. Larger ITM sizes and all Relton Groo-V® masonry drills are sold singly, and most are also available in 25-packs.
