    I'm using a porcelain and stone drilling kit from Diatec. Cost me around £300 five years ago and have only had to replace the 6mm bit. This kit has drilled hundreds, of holes, mainly in porcelain and still going strong.

    Just bought a set off e-bay from a company called diamond-drills, only just started using them and so far, so good. Mega on porcelain, only thing I can't tell you is how many holes per bit, but its a throw away price. Time will tell.

    Might be a good time to remind that the VAT is going up in a few weeks to 20% on all purchases.


    If you THINK you might need em in the new year then it might be time to grab a set.









    Please note that next year we may not increase the price of the kit from £49.99 BUT the P&P is currently £2.99 and we may raise this to £4.99
    The reason for this is that all our printed material and display boards are hard coded with the price so its difficult to destroy 10,000 leaflets !!
    But by adjusting the delivery from £2.99 to £4.99 this will bring our shipping in line with other retailers.

    Yes it didnt do us any favours hard coding the price to all our promo stuff.

    (See it in red on the board)



    Or having thousands of leaflets run. !!

    So thats why the £2.99 PP may be raised. Mind you its too low anyway. It costs us more than that to send so well overdue.

    £49-99 + pp @ £4-99 = £54-98

    Still a bargain!
    Best prize received from JOTM.
    Will be pushing a couple of bathroom companies towards them soon.
