No. You must disable the hammer or impact function. Using hammer mode will likely break your tile or shatter the glass.
Yes, using water or a cooling fluid is highly recommended to manage friction and prevent the drill bit from overheating.
It provides extreme hardness, allowing the bit to cut through tough, glazed, or fragile materials without dulling quickly.

Use a slow, steady speed, keep the area cool, and apply light pressure. Always ensure the mirror is supported on a flat, solid surface.

Reduce your drill speed and ensure you are using a cooling liquid or water during the process.
Ensure you are using a rotary-only drill setting. If the bit is dull, the tungsten carbide tip may need replacement.
Apply a piece of masking tape over the target area before drilling to create a stable, non-slip surface.
Before starting your project, ensure your drill is set to the rotary-only mode; do not use hammer action. Secure your workpiece with clamps to prevent movement, which can cause the bit to skid and scratch the surface. If drilling glass, place a piece of masking tape over the intended spot to provide extra grip for the bit tip. After use, clean the bit with a soft cloth to remove residual tile or glass dust, and store it in a dry, protected case to prevent the tungsten carbide tip from chipping against other metal tools.
