Re: drilling holes for shower valves, mixers etc
Mate looked high and low for a bit that can do 160 mm perfect hole for a mira silver mixer to fit through do you do anything this big ? how does everyone else get these holes 150 - 160 mm bang in the middle of a 240mmx 240mm ceramic... prob should put this on tilers forum though seems relevant enough. I ended up using an angle grinder though was obviously not the easiest way???

Re: drilling holes for shower valves, mixers etc
The max is 125mm BUT we are able to use the 125mm to open out by doing multiple cuts.
The results are just not so elegant but functional.

At 365Drills we provide an inhouse tile drilling service for large holes into large tiles. Same day collection and return within the M25
