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]
