Errrrr ok!SIGMA FRESA DIAMANTATA ......
On the @ATSDiamondTools website, it says "If you’re looking for a solution for 6,7 & 8mm holes specifically for porcelain tiles we recommend the wax filled bits over these M14 drills."
I'm going to order a 6mm grinder drill but from you and compare the both for myselfWe do say that, and that's our experience based almost entirely on customer feedback.
However, remember that tiling and tilers makes up only a very small percentage of our customer base. We sell to all sorts of trades and also a couple of larger resellers, so we probably sell more wax filled drills to Plumbers (and other second fix trades) than to tilers. Especially on a commercial scale.
Using drill bits on grinders is a relatively new thing to the UK and many people are either not aware or not comfortable using a grinder to drill.
So on the whole the wax filled drill bits are a better all round product for fixing type holes, for all trades in all circumstances.
For a tiler fixing extremely hard porcelain and used to using a grinder to drill, an M14 6mm is probably more appropriate. It's one of the reasons companies like us sell multiple products that appear to do the same thing. people (or sometimes a particular job) may suit one over another.
Is this the same for the polishing /grinding discs you sell? I.e. That electroplated are better for porcelain ?For tile holesaws, you still can't really beat the electroplated bits. Cost per hole and convenience they just beat most of the alternatives.
It's only when you need to consistently drill harder or thicker product that other bits may become more appropriate.
These dry VB bits were never designed for porcelain, they are designed for sedimentary stone, but someone decided to start marketing them for porcelain.
