Grab Bar Installation Information - Taking Care of Your Drill Bits

The Pinellas County Grab Bars Blog was interested in how to maintain drill bits in the installation of grab bars. Mr. Grab Bar of Pinellas County, a highly recommended grab bar installation provider in Pinellas County has given us some tips on this valuable topic.

Drilling into tile made from porcelain, marble or any other hard materials requires special attention to drill bit maintenance. When an amateur installer short cuts the maintenance of their drill bits, it can often lead to a reduction of the drill hole diameters. This could eventually lead to added pressure in the fasteners which could cause the tiles to crack, sometimes weeks after the installation.

Please read further in order to find out how this can be prevented.

• A professional installer should constantly inspect drill bits for wear and tear prior to their usage.

• A professional installer should take frequent breaks in between drilling to allow their drill bits to cool down. Neglecting this could lead to the drill bit cracking because of the extreme heat build-up.

• Often times professionals will dip their drill bits into a cup of water in order to reduce the temperature of the bit and increase its longevity.
