Tile router- yay or nay?!

That's a good tip!

Always works for me, plus u can maintain good control of the drill from above and keep it true.
Well that's how it works for me 🙂

Oh ok!
To be fair I normally just drill a hole in a piece of MDF or Hardibacker first with whatever size bit I'm about to use.
Then place that on top of the tile, then fill the cavity with water, place one foot either side of the hole and usin the board as a template drill through!
Means u can drill right up to the edge of a tile and it not break out!

That's a great tip, saves faffing around with a sucker guide, and plenty of water from the off

Yeah tried the sucker guide, realised I was the sucker for buying it! Haha
so went back to what I knew worked 🙂

Maybe we need a more recent tips thread creating. Found some old ones but I think we've moved on since then.

 

[Old Mod]

Yeah don't know what came over me then!
Usually keep little gems like that to myself! Hahaha 😀
Nah it's just trial and error and constantly trying to find ways of making life EASY! haha

Tried to by one on Sunday on eBay, all good and paid for, advert stated next day delivery. On tuesday, seller sends me a msg saying the one i'd ordered is out of stock, but could replace it with the 110v as opposed to the 240v that I ordered!... The heck is wrong with this guy?! Probably didn't occur to him, that if I wanted the other one I'd have had it ordered instead of the other one?! Advert stated 10 available, yet they couldn't deliver one!... Smh...
