Hole Cutter Recommendations

[Lakey]

Chaps

Looking to invest in a new set of hole cutters.
I previously had the Marcrist Wet drill kit which has served me well.
I'm after preferably a dry kit to include 6mm, 8mm, 32mm & 40mm as well as a hole size enlarger bit.
Anything else i'm missing?

Cheers

Alot of people are buying directly from China nowadays on Amazon, eBay & wish.

@Pro Tiler Tools have a great range

Previously with a cordless drill however am quite tempted by an M14 range

I've used grinder now for many years.
not that I do much 6mm but find they don't last very long using a grinder. That may just be me being impatient but would never ho back to a drill now

M14 is the way to go these days.

I get all mine direct from China. Have done for many years now.

Anyone/where specific or do I just call up China?

Reminds of Derek and Clive sketch when they wanted to contact the director general of the BBC

If you ring and ask for a 6 and a 45 chances are you’ll end up with chow mein and boiled rice

Exactly John, I'd rather ring Alan and get exactly what I'd ordered within 48 hours..

The M14 ones I have are diatools ones from China, same as pro tilers ones I believe . I've found today that my 32mm is about done, not drilled many holes really probably 10 to 15 holes? Not sure what the life expectancy is from them

By the way- Lakey, I recommend you get yourself a decent set of Electroplated hole saws too. Always worth having. Wet cut only.

Localtiler- that doesn’t seem too bad.
I’ve tried various branded bits and they perform no better on the very hard porcelain.
