Grab Bar Installation Advice - Keeping Drill Bits Fresh

Here at Sarasota Grab Bars we had the pleasure of sitting down with Howard Cohen of Mr. Grab Bar of Sarasota to get some helpful tips in keeping drill bits fresh when working with ceramic, porcelain or marble tiles and here are the most important points he made.

• When drilling through tile it is crucial to use relatively fresh tile bits to make the work go more smoothly and even more importantly to maintain the proper hole size so that wall anchors, when necessary fit properly without too much pressure as would often be the case with a hole that is too small
• One should always inspect drill bits prior to use and closely monitor the fit of the wall anchors.
• Take periodic breaks while drilling to allow the drill bit to cool down and not get exceedingly hot which could lead to fracturing of the drill bit
• Carry a small cup of water that the drill bit can be dipped in periodically during breaks to help cool them down and prevent fracturing of the bit.
