Drilling tile/grout line - TilersForums.com

Hello, after advice on drilling tile grout line.

I'm fitting a shower mixer head onto tile with rear fed pipes.

Sod's law one of the holes needs to be cut through the tile and grout line. I will be using s tile 17mm holesaw (5655v) from Screwfix for this. Any advise or suggestion will be greatly received.

I'm OK with drilling tiles but never this size before, mu butt is twitching for this one hole.

Many thanks in advance

Maurice

Use a bit with a pilot drill or Get an 18mm spade bit, drill a hole in a peice of wood and use this as a guide so the 17mm hole cutter doesn't wander
