How do you drill porcelain tiles. I've drilled ceramic ones ok previously, but the porcelain appear to be impossible to drill. Any ideas?
YESSSSSS! I'm so happy you asked. I struggled with this for 7 hours one day til a kindly tile setter helped me out
Go to a hardware store and buy a tile drill bit. It will have a triangle at the tip. Get a gallon plastic jug and poke a hole in the bottom with a nail. Fill it with water and as you're drilling let the water trickle on the bit shaft to keep it cool. Voila!
YES also known as a water drill and works very well as long as the water is flowing. Don't rush.
Right Dys! I kept breaking my bits til I calmed down and let the drill do the work. Those bits are expensive.
