Marcrist PG850 Tile Drills - You used them?

[martin1c]

Dipping in water dos'nt cool the bit enough, it needs a steady flow...

That's the problem. You need two hands on the angle grinder especially on a wall. They're supposed wet or dry use so I just did my best to take time, not put too much pressure on the bit and keep cooling it as often as possible

Below are the figures from tradetilers site:

Marcrist claim these drills will cut aprox 700 holes on grade 5 porcelain
up to 1500 holes in grade softer 1 porcelain
and as many as 2800 holes in ceramics!

not sure how close they get to these claims but its something to go off.

i have quite a number of marcist bits bought from tradetiler. they are real quality and certainly worth the money.
i really dont understand why anyone who is a pro and drilling holes on a regular basis would not want or need something like this.
I have bits from other quality manufacturers as well and they are much of a muchness i think. its only when you go for low end cheap charlie bits that you can really tell the difference.
the one on ebay ed is starting at that price unfortunately coz if that was to buy now price i would get now just for spares in future.
ishi69 is right about the montolit dna blades. dave at tradetiler sold me a blade for my big black porcelain 1000 x 1000 x 20mm job which i have shown on this forum recently. it was way out ahead of other quality blades i had for various saws.
i recommended this blade on forum some time ago.
we managed to cut a 3mm strip 1000mm long with is blade. it is well worth the extra money.

I have tried a number of blades in the past some ok some not, I still can't believe how good the DNA blade is it cuts like your cutting butter.

Ordered the DNA blade on Friday and will be here Monday. Can't wait to get stuck in with it on my own bathroom :drool5:
