thanks alot, wil go and try it.Yeah that would do, better with a spear head drill but not nescessary. Slow speed and NO hammer action.
for ceramic i always use a normal masonry bit for towel rails ect, and i have never cracked a single tile yet. my method is to mark the tile where hole is to be drilled. select hammer drill and simply mark the tile on hammer by drilling for a second. take hammer drill off and continue to drill hole. the bit will simply follow the mark you have made.
a steady hand is needed
