Red will be marcrist, light blue erbauer, darker blue Mexco.
Anyway, get a grinder, that’s what these bits are designed for. Far quicker than a drill and the bit stays much cooler. Even on the hardest porcelain it’s 1 dip halfway through drilling. They’re all I use.

Yeah set your drill to Grinder mode
Seriously though, the grinder is the missing link here. I have a video of me drilling onto Porc and it’s so fast.

Any grinder will do the job. I just use my Bosch cordless for my 6mm holes.

Ask them if they will put a kit together for you. I’m sure they’ve probably got one or are able to sort you out.

Appreciate the link @Waluigi
We have to tread to carefully on the forum when discussing our products as we're not a paying sponsor. So if anyone has any questions I can provide advice but can't openly push (or link in open forum to) our own products.
I can give generic advice about types of bits and the guys here have covered most bases already.
The key with this type of drill bit though (whoever's you buy) is not to apply too much pressure. Unlike drilling timber, metal or masonry where you can lean on it to push through, that will just destroy a diamond drill bit. It's the speed and the diamonds that do the work, just let them go through at the pace they want to.
