    Default 10mm Porcelien drill bit

    I need to drill a few 10mm holes in some porcelien floor tiles, I have tried a drill bit from screwfix but it didn't make it through one hole (maybe because I didn't use any water).

    I have read about the 365 drill bits, anyone recommended something that will do the job that I could also pick up today as well?

    WATER WATER and more WATER
    If you let any of these drills heat up, now matter how much they cost, they won't last 2 minutes

    Take heed of Tommy's advice, doesnt matter what diamonds or where they are from if you use them dry you will ruin them on the first hole.

    I drilled 20 8mm holes with ONE drill bit a couple of weeks ago, purley because i kept it cooll, wet and drilled it nice and easy. Took some time but having to go and buy more bits can take a lot longer!
