Wet Vs Dry Drilling - Tile Advice

[macten]

I've just received some bits from ATS. I included the 8 + 6mm in one dry bit with wax centre. Look forward to trying it out. Also looking at going down the route for angle grinder bits for larger holes.

I went for some dry cut angle grinder ones from a tilers shop near me as I need one of them for tomorrow so I will see how that goes!

Always use dry angle grinder drill bits as time is money and they do go through a lot quicker than a wet system. Yes they some don't last long but have recently bought the Genesis ones and they're great and they last well even drilling porcelain.

I use rubi dry bits and they are excellent especially the 8m and 10 m the 6 doesn't last as long. Always with the grinder .more powerful than drill

I do all.my drilling with the m14 dry bits in my grinder I've only used rubi and marcrist and the marcrist onear are far superior

I drill with the cordless drill and sponge in the room usually, for me going outside to use a grinder wouldn't be any faster. Most of the time i couldn't do it inside due to dust

I love my cordless! Not had it too long but it's used every day and Dewalt do a massive battery which lasts ages.

Is it the DCG412N ? just about to get one with a 5AH battery. Bought a cheapo drill with the 2 x 1.3AH from screwfix but also bought a 5AH battery , very impressed with , so now need the the grinder . My old one with 3 old 1.3AH just aint enough now .

there's not dust, just hold a damp/wet sponge by it

Sorry for very late reply lol! Yer I use them every time but I must admit that I now tend to use my 240v grinder as it's usually already out with the diamond blades attached. The hole saws I bought have still got loads of life left in them and one of them gets used all the time!

Yer that is the one I have but I am using my 240v grinder a lot more at the moment because it's handy as out already with diamond blade on but the dewalt cordless is a very good bit of kit and especially handy when power is limited!

What do you use it for

I use it for holes and cuts with the diamond blade. But hasn't come out the box for a while!
