right lately ive been drilling harder and harder tiles (size wise im talking 6-10mm for now) on average its taking 10mins to drill one hole even with the diamond ones

needs to be dry cutting but i dont mind if i have to dip every 10 seconds etc to keep it cool

is there an all singing dancing kit (yes i know its a tall order) but helllp

Wax filled diamond brazed.

They do work far better on an angle grinder but still very good on a drill.

Get an angle grinder . Good quality £ 40 £50 and get a relevant bit

Red will be marcrist, light blue erbauer, darker blue Mexco.

Anyway, get a grinder, that’s what these bits are designed for. Far quicker than a drill and the bit stays much cooler. Even on the hardest porcelain it’s 1 dip halfway through drilling. They’re all I use.

any speed recommendation eg max or any

Yeah set your drill to Grinder mode

Seriously though, the grinder is the missing link here. I have a video of me drilling onto Porc and it’s so fast.
