If you are considering your method of drilling holes one bit of kit pops up which is the holesaw clamp.
The clamp uses a suction device which removes air causing the clamp to stick to the tile.
For a long while now we have known about the issue of clamps either dropping off the tile causing damage to floor tiles, or whatever is below - or not even clamping at all.
In this 2m 40s video we demonstrate that a suction based clamp that works on most tiles can leave you unstuck if you try to use it on other tiles.

The 365Drills PORSADRILL "Anti-Slip" Guide Plate works on ALL tiles
Of couse as the manufacturer of these devices you might be suspicious of our intentions here but what we are doing is pointing out to tilers that there is a real issue whereby clamps CAN drop off a tile OR it will not even grip the tile.
The short video clearly shows the difference between a suction based clamp and a pressure based anti-slip guide plate when gripping tiles so that a user can drill a hole into a porcelain tile. On the clamp there are some tiles that it will not grip. This is because of the tile pattern. The tile has small pits in the design which lets air into the suction cup therefore preventing a seal. In contrast the PORSADRILL anti-slip guide plate does not need a fully air tight seal to be able to grip the tile. The 365Drills guide plate will grip ANY tile unlike guides that rely on suction. ...
