Drilling pocelain

[critterman]

Hi guys

I have about 28 holes to drill in my recently tiled ensuite to take shower enclosure, radiator, mirror, toilet etc etc. The size required is 6mm with a couple of 8mm holes. Now there appears to be two types of drills, core cutters and the arrow head type such as that made by Armeg. They all appear to be quite expensive so the question is which ones are the best value for money and how long do they last if used properly (how many holes per drill). Armeg seem to be good but are around £27 each and claim to be good for 20+ holes although several people in their product reviews have had problems with them breaking. The ones made by Porsadrill appear to only drill around 4 holes before they are worn.

Recommendations please.

Check this out in the testing thread, for my money the £3 bit from ATS via eBay was the best buy.

Thanks. I assume you use them wet, how long do they last?
