TILER PORCELAIN FLOOR TILES,Ive just used 4 masonry bits to drill one hole on hammer setting,whats going on.Yes it is the masonry bits that wear out,though on normal ceramic
tiles they glide through.
use a glass drilling bit and turn hammer of , once ur thru the
glaze (thats the hardest bit of the tile) it should fly thru, glass bit is
gona cost about £5
id try that before going for diamond bits .save ur money , most diy places
will sell a glass cutting bit .
and ye , put some tape on tile , will stop the bit shooting round the tile
don`t use hammer setting the drill bits are brittle and
breaking.put tape on tile and just drill
those who said diamond know what they are talking about take
their advice.
makers of bits are :
drill365, these are the cheapest to use & they dont need lots of mounting
arbors & water feeds etc they also come with a very handy template for starting the drill on the smooth surface vitrex, same type as drill365 marcroist armeg, different system follow the instructions, water, NO hammer even diamond will wear out so tell the supplier how many holes you are drilling, if its a lot in porcelain you may well need extra bits
you need a proper tile drill bit your mansonary one is the
wrong type for tiles
being a tiler i wood suggest that you need a diamond drill bit
and not use ya drill on the hammer setting it will only break the tile ,a
diamond drill bit will go through like a hot knife through butter
Porcelain floor tiles can be very hard to cut or drill.
Basically you need the toughest diamond bit you can lay your hands on. Try
phoning round some local tile suppliers, they may sell them, but be
prepared to pay £30-£40!
You must have a really high grade tile. The better the tile the
harder it is to drill. You will probably need to get an industrial hardened
SDS bit to ease the job. If you're already using one that is probably as
easy as it is going to get.
when drilling porcelain tiles put some tape on the part of the
tile where you are going to dril the hole then dril the hole it stop the
tile from breaking
You need a Glass bit
You should use a tile cutting bit, or an sds drill and bit,
tiles will laugh at a hammer drill.
bits keep breaking or tiles keep breaking???
you need diamond tipped drill bits my friend!! go thru them like a knife
thru butter
Start with a pilot hole and work up to the size you need , use
a good quality bit i.e hilti
You should know the drill by now, Colonel!
