Top of the food chain would have to be 365, I'm also interested in the rotozip xcores, dry drilling as opposed to having water / cooling with the 365 bits.

Thanks i'll do a little research on them. As for the roto zip, looks good but wow are they expensive.

365 drills are excellent and come with a drill guide and sponge i think.

ive tried a few diff types and so far the best for me has been montolit cutters that fit onto an angle grinder,easy to use and more powerful than drill fixed cutters imo

Used 365 drills from the start on natural stone,porcelain,ceramic at all differant thickness's and have no reason to change.
If i was to struggle would look elseware
Buy the bathroom pack-very good bargain with TF discount to test.

got to say it the 365 bits are best value for money ,i have the rotozip as well but only use on very thick tiles saves time

Thanks, I have a rotozip but only used it on laminate flooring about 5 years ago. Just been on ebay and seen that it's possible to buy tile cutting drill bits for it, wondering if they are any good ? I'm a little fed up with the wet cutter way of cutting curves out of tiles, sometimes it takes too long and gets frustrating.
