Can anybody recommend drill bits for a porcelain tile?
I’m looking to drill around 10 x 6mm holes and 2 holes to pass 10mm plastic pipe through.

Also what’s the best way to cut a 117mm hole into the centre of a porcelain tile for an extract fan?
I’ve done it before using an angle grinder and tile nipper but that was with a ceramic tile.

Thanks all

Just use angle grinder again - nipping and filing is tougher on porc but use the extractor as a template and you'll see you don't have to make a real tidy job of it as there's usually loads of leeway - I've done it before where cutting a hexagon out with the grinder has been fine.

Rubi wax filled bit for the angle grinder. It'll do the 6mm holes ( or buy a 7mm and normal 6mm once you're through the tile ) . You can use that same bit to "grind" out a bigger hole. For the extractor just use the angle grinder
