shep

ive had it with drilling porcelain, those poxy drill bits are fine for two holes, then just grind flat, ive tried everything, some jobs i have about 30 rawjplug holes to drill, even tried making nicks in the tiles with wetcut, seems the smaller the hole the harder to drill, seems easier drilling thru the joint using red plugs
,started sticking basins furniture etc with silicon, also using water cooled drills are useless cos the suction cup wont stick to a textured tile will it. any tips or sympathy, thanks.
