Bosch CYL-9 Soft Ceramic Bit 10mm Tile Drill

Bosch CYL-9 10mm Bit

The Bosch CYL-9 Soft Ceramic Bit 10mm Tile Drill provides a reliable solution for tradespeople needing to penetrate wall tiles without causing surface cracks. This carbide-tipped accessory features a reinforced head to maximize service life during repetitive drilling tasks in soft to medium-density ceramics. It integrates seamlessly with standard three-jaw chucks found on most cordless and corded rotary drills.

Built for the Job

This accessory is essential for second-fix plumbing and electrical installations where fixtures must be secured directly onto tiled surfaces. The geometry of the tip allows for precise centering, which prevents the tool from wandering across the glazed surface of the tile. It is specifically engineered for rotary-only operation, ensuring that the impact mechanism does not shatter brittle materials during the process.

• Installing bathroom accessories like towel rails and toilet roll holders into ceramic wall tiles.

• Creating entry points for pipework or electrical conduit through decorative backsplashes.

• Mounting kitchen cabinetry brackets or shelving units onto tiled masonry walls.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always deactivate the hammer or impact function on your power tool before starting the hole to avoid immediate tile breakage.

• Operate the drill at low RPM settings to manage heat buildup and extend the life of the carbide cutting head.

• Once the tile is fully penetrated, switch to a standard masonry bit if you need to continue drilling into the underlying brick or blockwork.

• Store the 10mm cutter in a dry environment to prevent any surface oxidation on the cylindrical shank.
