Drilling big holes into any tile Using a £40 bench drill  We set it up a bench drill outdoors. Then rigged water from a hose.  Start to drill. Look above. Can you see the glass tile on the right? Its whizzing into that.  Keep the water on. If you are outside use plenty. Drill slowly though. About 520rpm. Dont push to hard. Let the drill do its work. So be patient  Impressed? - Its just gone through FOUR tile types. Look at the quality.  Yes I know.. We did it again and drilled into chip board. Please dont. Its not good for the drillbit !  To eject the plug get an old drill pit and pushhhh.  A perfect hole is born. Have a look in more detail  Look at this closeup... Thats a glass insert. And its not been disturbed. Perfect and very clean lines  Heres the plug. You can see the glass (Middle) , the porcelain (left) and the ceramic (right) What a mix !  The end result is what its all about. Another perfect hole to fit a loo pan. And that is still using the same drill bit for both holes. Large hole drilling is great for soil pipes, extractor fans, shower roses and controls etc etc. Its not done it much good to whack it into wood but it has worked. Bottom line is that we did high quality work and using items just laying around. Our competitors charge £170 for a 117mm crown. Ours are £40. | ||||||||||
