I bought the 8mm drill bit. It looks quite chunky, but it is 8mm.
I lent it out to a couple of the bathroom fitters and they drilled 11 holes between them in porcelain.
It was then my turn and I started off drilling dry. After I started I used a damp sponge, but soon found out that the drill actually performed better dry.

I have now completed hole 16 and it took me 6 mins to drill through 10mm porcelain. The drill bit still looks fresh and I'm sure it would easily go through a few more tiles.

Just ordered three.
will see how I get on.

That's good to know.

If that's 16 holes in 6 minutes that rocks. If it 16 holes at 6 minute a piece your hands must be a bit numb!

Good bits aren't they Sean! Picked another branded core drill up out if my toolbox by accident yesterday. As soon as I started drilling I realised it wasn't an ATS bit, so threw it and started using my ATS bit instead. Will only use ATS bits now [emoji106]

Ok a question for you... just how far has your ATS bit gone for you?

I promise you mine has gone more....

 

[Sean Kelly]

Just to clarify. Hole 16 took 6 minutes to drill. It was one of those porcelain tiles that is so hard that even a Sigma sometimes has difficulty in cutting it straight.

Just to advise 365Drills provide Dry Core Drills via Turbocore

But compared to the porsadrill water cooled 6mm packs and 8mm packs we prefer the multipacks.

We've added a new bit to this wax filled range, the duo 6mm/8mm bit giving two sizes on one bit.

Just bumping some of the tiling tools related threads. This thread might not be current discussion, if it isn't, just ignore this, and it'll soon drop off the list. Don't worry if you bring it back into current discussion yourself though, the content within it could be useful for somebody. So feel free to add to it if you have something valuable to add.
