I do the bucket of water thing, keeps your pump clean. Do any of you guys put a drop or two of fairy liquid in? Keeps my hands nice and soft to.(Not)

Barrier cream mate. Keep it in the motor and put it on in traffic jams. My hands have taken a beating in the last 6 weeks, had to buy some different cream, Eucerin. Expensive but much better all round handcare.

I'd mark the FRONT of the tile
Drill out the corners to be safe:
Drill out the holes front to back
Then plunge cut the lines on a small wetsaw
looking through the holes of the tiles to see where I am cutting
That way you're guaranteed not to have any over runs.
Ignore the fact the demo is on a tiny tile.
If you have large porcelain tiles like this then doing everything from the front leaves less room for error.
Mistakes on BIG tiles are costly.. Drilling out sockets can be tricky
Results.. A socket in a tile

Don't mind me while I bump up some of the old threads. I wont be doing this much more. Just the last few in the Tile Drilling forum - How to Drill Porcelain Tiles. Just one of the many tiling advice forums.
