Ello' all......

me and a few pals have decided that we are going to use and abuse several products that tilers will use everyday!!.....the first one was tile adhesives....and if you have not seen it then check out:

http://www.tilersforums.com/tile-adhesive-grout-substrate-preparation/60617-little-vid.html

but the next in the series is INEXPENSIVE DRILL BITS.......

the stuff I use a around £100 a bit in most instances......and so is the stuff Ray and Gary uses......so we all wondered......are we getting our money's worth?.....they may drill 100's and 100's of holes....but there is an investment involved!

so as of today, I have managed to convince Vitrex, Plasplugs and Forte to supply us 32mm (or there nearest equvilent) drillbits for us to test out!!!!!! yippeee......are there any more contenders to be added to the list?

I will have all the bits by the end of the week........VIDEO INCOMING!!!!!!!!!!

hehehhehehehehhheehe

best wishes

Lee

Hello Lee, What kind of price bracket are these drill bits in?

Inexpensive........£10-£20 quid I would guess.......not any more! and we are talking 32mm ......... 6 mm from all the suppliers concerened will be cheaper!
