Underrated beats, best value for money! SEE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

I have probably drilled thousands of holes with drill bits from this manufacturer. I used to buy bits from another manufacturer at the hardware store for about $15 but after discovering them I stopped using another brand as it gets me about 50 holes per bit in hard ceramic tile compared to about 70 holes per bit. slightly different brand. As you can see the price per hole is amazing here. I use them to install partitions and toilet accessories in commercial construction projects. Now I've seen a lot of "interesting" theories about how to use these bits in reviews; Here's the key to making these bits last longer when drilling ceramic tile: 1. Start slow. You will need both hands to hold the drill while firing the drill as you will need to hold it at an angle to the tile to start the groove and it will want to go away. Do not use high speed here as the bit will quickly overheat without water cooling. You can wet the tile and nozzle before you start cooling.2. After drawing the groove, you can start the drill with one hand and use the spray gun with the other to wet it with water. While spraying water, increase the speed of the drill bit and turn it perpendicular to the workpiece. You have now cut out a full circle.3. Now you can start the drill at FULL SPEED, yes in high gear with the trigger pulled. If not, you're here all day. I drill through standard hard ceramic tile in about 20-30 seconds per hole. The main thing is that the water mist stops. If the bit squeaks, the tip is hot and dry, you need more water. It should make a smooth but rough sound when the diamonds are cut with lubricant. If the end of the snaffle turns white then it is becoming dry, you need more water. When you drill into the wall, water runs down the wall and pools on the floor. You'll need towels to catch the water and clean up the mess when you're done. If you don't have a puddle of water on your floor, you're not using it enough.4. Another tip that will extend the life of these bits is to figure out how deep you can go without going all the way through the tile. You can then hollow out the center with either a hand tool or a hammer drill by drilling through the concrete or other substrate behind the tile. That way you don't have to remove the core from the drill bit every few holes because they'll get stuck there anyway. 16" holes per space) in about 15-20 minutes using this technique. I usually use about 1 bit per space. These bits save me money and make me money as I'm successfully using them commercially. Hope this helps someone. up in search of the best technique for drilling ceramic tiles.
