Bosch CYL-9 Ceramic Tile Drill Bit 8 mm 80 mm Stainless Steel

The single-piece Bosch CYL-9 ceramic drill bit (8 mm) is a dedicated tool engineered specifically for working with ceramic tiles. Unlike general-purpose masonry accessories, it focuses entirely on clean material removal and accurate hole placement in brittle surfaces. It bores through hard outer glazes without shattering the workpiece, which is essential for bathroom and kitchen fixture installations. The design meets the exact needs of professional tilers preparing delicate coverings for wall fittings. Using this specialised ceramic bit reduces the risk of wandering during the initial scoring phase.

Operating the tool requires a standard electric drill capable of maintaining steady rotational speed. It must be run strictly in non-impact mode, because any hammering force will fracture the fragile tile structure. Consistent, controlled drilling pressure allows the bit to grind through the top glaze before plunging into the substrate. This single-item package supplies an exact replacement or a specific addition to an existing tool collection. A stainless-coloured finish provides clear visual contrast against dark power tool chucks for quick identification on site.

• Carbide material composition delivers sustained wear resistance against abrasive tile glazes.
• 80 mm overall length provides adequate reach to clear thick tiles and underlying adhesive layers.
• Cylindrical shank design ensures secure clamping in standard three-jaw drill chucks.
• 8 mm cutting diameter produces accurately sized holes for standard medium-duty wall anchors.
• Optimised solely for non-hammer drilling applications to protect ceramic materials from stress fractures.
