Drill bits for tiles

[dave1]

Which ones do you use and how much? Just been looking at the 365 stuff which looks good but doesn't seem to give you many holes on porcelain tiles.

for what size eg normally red and brown plugs or bigger

 

[dave1]

Both really, 6,8 and 16mm

I use the arrow heads for normal holes (plugs) and screwfix own brand tile hole saw for the rest

Cheers Shaun. Where do you get the arrow heads?

Screwfix or local tile merch/center

Bosch multi construction bits (the ones with the blue flute) are great for tiles and not expensive, work well on porcelain too other than the extra hard grades

I found the B&Q tile hole saw drills to be good and not expensive. Screwfix probably do same type. I have Hilti tile hole saw drill and it seems top quality, but they are expensive

For brow plugs I use a 4mm Irwin cordless bit, then open it up with a 7mm. On porcelain, Use on slow speed and keep it cool. Be patient.

For diamond bits try Ats diamonds. Speak to Allan. They do the dry and wet diamonds. If you tell him Paul walker gave you the contact, he will give you a 10% increase! :8:
Seriously, they give a very good service.
Good for diamond discs too! All their own brand.
