The price chart on this thing is kinda crazy, but these bits are within a few pennies of Amazon's lowest price since, it appears, 2010. Looks like Home Depot has them for the same price even though Lowe's wants $20 for the set. Here's the Home Depot link if you'd rather buy there than Amazon (HD is offering free shipping as well):

Featured Comments

If it's glass that you'll be drilling inside that guide you'll likely be far safer doing it with a tubular style diamond bit glass/tile bit. They look similar to a mini core drill bit.
This Bosch 'semi-pointed/carbide' type is very prone & sensitive to breaking glass when drilling.
Most ppl will severely chip or crack the glass using these, especially if not done very carefully/correctly. Mostly because they use a bit too much pressure, they don't use water to cool the bit, they rock it using a hand drill instead of perfectly straight as a drill press would provide, and try to drill without a backing/support surface on the glass.

Over many years I've used both types (semi-pointed carbide like the Bosch and the tubular diamond-grit edged core bits) and for glass the tubular diamond core bits always produce less breakage/chipping and better holes.

Near-constant cooling water is a must for either bits, as well as slower rpm speeds, very light pressure, and if drilling plate glass (or any glass) it's best if possible if you have the backside off the glass up against a smooth-surface scrap of plywood. I even put 2 or 3 sheets of newspaper between the glass back and the plywood for the most even pressure backside support, otherwise you'll end up with chipping & 'clamshells' on the back side when the bit breaks thru the back side.
Naturally with some objects, like drilling bottles, it's impossible to have a backing on the inside surface.

Your pantry is tiled? These are for tile.

I guess it isn't good enough for porcelain tile, right?

I bought these a few years ago for 12.99 to install a shower bar and they worked great on bathroom tile.

For the jewel thief in your family.
I would get it for dear ol' dad but he's doing a stretch in Sing-Sing and as much as he would appreciate the gift....

For a shower door, pre drill through the mortar. Not the tile (if possible). Much easier.

Most likely not. It will work eventually but might crack. your better off with a diamond coated bit.

Used these to drill holes through glass tile in my bathroom. Worked fine. Make sure you have someone spraying the target with water periodically and go slow.

Experts,
Can I drill into porcelain like vases and glass wine bottles with these bits?

I am working on a DIY water fountain.

Thank you.

Agreed, they shouldn't even list glass. These bits will just blow them to pieces.
