Help!: marcrist

[caliperkid]

hi fellow tilers got a problem with latest job where the customer wants lights in the floor (15 !) no problem i says got a marcrist drilling kit fly through them only problem is i need a 20mm hole but marcrist only make 19mm and 22mm one to big one to small. only option i have is to spend on a rival hole cutting system (rubi, armeg, 365 drills) or i was thinking of a tile file drill bit to give me an extra 1mm but no idea if they exist ! any advise would be great .cheers.kev

Just reem the hole out a bit with the 19mm, by circling the hole cutter from side to side as you drill. you can widen the hole it cuts..try it on some scrap tile first...

If they are ceramics it shouldnt be too much of a problem.....
