Just wondering ...

I think that drilling will save you a lot of time. On a ceramic tile I reckon you could go through it as quick as the first cut of the grinder. There is nothing wrong with doing it your way, its just that if there are quicker and easier ways of doing it, why not do it that way? Get your self a set of the 365s and let us know how you get on with them. I think you will be impressed

Looking good as a project. I would certainly agree that its a useful technique and that diamond grinder shown above is a lot different to an angle grinder. Its an diamond core attachment rather than a blade so less likely to do any injury.

We have discovered many ways to get those pipes through tiles! Heres a classic example:

The intention here is to cover them so its not important how they get through the tile.

Am sure that tilers have many varied ways to get through the tiles. Room in the market for all.
As mentioned the downside of the grinders are the dust and speed.
You also have to have a lot of skill and patience. Its not easy to grind from the back and get the result to the front.
So congratulations on a skillful use of a tool !

But obviously when it comes to the small rawl plugs then there really is only one way to do it. And thats from the front. And with a drill.

Check it out ,
Both holes marked and cut in under 8 minuets ,
Its the way iv always done it and works fine , accuracy just depends on how well i mark it .
I can do small holes , big holes , whatever , no problem .
What do you think??

I must admit I used to do it this way, with the grinder, even use the German G clamp and tungsten pin hammer. But I think the core drill is the way to go imo.
