Drilling & cutting Travertine

[City Tiler]

Help, I have laid travertine on floors before, used the wet cutter with no problems. I'm about ti fix to some walls but I have pipse for the taps coming out of the wall, I was thinking that I could cut slots in the tiles then kit filling peices for the gaps above the pipes.

Then I tought that I could drill out the diameter of the pipes and place the tile over them which would look a lot better.

My question is how do I drill travertine????

Thanks

Andrew

I concur with Dave, got a set of those very drills and used them to drill porcelain floor tiles today. Takes a little while but they do work well.
