Review on 💎 Bathroom Drilling Diamond Ceramic Porcelain by Jeff Davidson

Therefore, experience and my intuition told me to try this option based on the mostly positive reviews. I decided at $17 instead of $45+ at the retail/hardware store it was worth it, especially since I only had to make one hole. My mission was to drill a 2-1/2" diameter hole in 3/8" thick ceramic tile for a shower switch. No offense, but I've learned that some people base their ratings on their own inexperience, lack of skill, or inability to follow directions. This does not translate into an accurate assessment of the product - the product's quality and performance is intended to be tested and not based on the shortcomings of others. Before I buy a product, I look at many reviews to get an idea of the product. I've learned to ignore some reviews depending on how they're written and the level of individual skill, whether it's a tool or a blender. My method has paid off again. Some denounced the hole saw for not having a center drill, but it still "walked" across tile and glass and served no particular purpose. I made a guide out of the leftover piece of styrofoam and attached it to the tile. It served as a guide for drilling and also helped keep the 'water dam' around the hole. Then I put a hose on "mist" nearby to refill water and remove debris. I set this up over a 5 gallon bucket and started drilling. I used a variable speed drill and pulled the trigger just enough to get it to a fairly low RPM and applied fairly light pressure to the tile. Because I was using a guide, I didn't start at an angle like what is normally done with a diamond drill bit. After about 20 turns I felt a groove being made. At this point I realized it was working and continued drilling, cleaning out the hole with a jet of water every minute or two (the guide held a puddle of water between spray intervals). After about 5 minutes the saw popped out. It might have been quicker but I stopped to inspect the piece to see if the other claims about diamond dust smoothness were true, but they weren't. I was surprised at how clean the hole was and that it only differed in size by 1/8 inch (for this type of work this is considered acceptable - we don't assemble a space shuttle motor). So I can almost guarantee that the failures are due to not having enough water, turning the bit too fast as if it were high speed, or putting too much pressure on it. a few more won't do. Nevertheless, it appears to have been designed and manufactured for occasional use and not intended for everyday use by a granite or tile drill. Standard 3-jaw chuck. It served my purpose well and I would recommend it for a few light uses. I try to write useful, unbiased, and insightful reviews because I also read reviews when making my own purchasing decisions. I've found that many reviews lack useful information, are poorly written, or give bad reviews because they didn't read the instructions or read the product information before purchasing. Writing valuable reviews helps pay in advance.
