| Re: Good hole cutters | | Those porcelain tiles can be a pain in the neck. Those look like they would do the job though.

| Re: Good hole cutters | | Water cooled diamond tipped core cutters in the end of your drill for the natural stones. For ceramics a sharp masonary bit for the rawl plugs and a triangle cutter for up to 50 mm pipes | | |
