Project Ideas

Business

On-Tile Accessory Installation

Offer a niche service installing towel bars, hooks, shelves, and bidet sprayers on ceramic or porcelain tile. The carbide split-point enables accurate, crack-free holes on glossy surfaces; use 1/8" pilots and step up to 5/16" for anchors to deliver clean, warrantied installs.


Mixed-Material Signage Shop

Produce layered wood/metal/acrylic signage with hidden standoffs and LED accents. The multi-material bit speeds production by drilling pilot holes across substrates without tool changes, improving throughput on custom orders.


Mobile Anchor & Mounting Service

Serve homeowners and property managers by quickly adding anchors for blinds, safety latches, and fixtures in drywall, masonry, and metal studs. The no-spin shank and fast chip evacuation reduce downtime on repetitive pilot holes, boosting job profitability.


Upcycled Luminary Product Line

Create and sell perforated tin can lanterns, metal jar sleeves, and acrylic light panels at markets or online. Consistent, clean 1/8" patterns are easy to batch-produce thanks to the bit’s stable start and rapid chip clearing.


Low-Voltage Cable Routing & Sensor Installs

Install door sensors, cameras, thermostats, and cable pass-throughs across diverse surfaces. Use 1/8" pilots to prevent fastener wandering on laminate, tile, or metal, then step up as required; a neat, damage-free result differentiates your service.

Creative

Mosaic Tile Hook Rail

Add a decorative hook rail to a kitchen or bath backsplash by drilling precise 1/8" pilot holes directly through ceramic tile into the substrate for anchors. The carbide split-point keeps the bit from walking on glossy glaze, and a slow, water-cooled pass prevents chipping; upsize to 5/16" where larger anchors are needed.


Driftwood & Metal Wind Chimes

Combine driftwood, thin metal spoons, and small ceramic shards by drilling clean 1/8" holes in each material for jump rings or wire. The multi-material bit handles the mixed media without bit changes, and the aggressive flutes clear chips to keep holes crisp.


Upcycled Tin Planter Wall

Turn tea tins and food cans into a vertical herb garden. Drill drainage holes in the bottoms and mounting holes on the backs; the non-slip shank prevents chuck spin as you move from thin steel to wood backing boards, making repeat drilling fast and consistent.


Constellation Lanterns

Perforate tin cans or thin sheet metal with 1/8" holes in star patterns to create shimmering lanterns. The split-point tip reduces skating on metal, while the aggressive flutes eject chips to avoid heat buildup and burrs.


Acrylic Star Map Lightbox

Drill a field of tiny holes into an acrylic panel to map constellations, then backlight with LEDs. The bit’s geometry minimizes melting and wandering, producing clean, pinpoint apertures for crisp light transmission.
