The carbide tip drill bit works best
with glazed or unglazed ceramic tile. The diamond tip drill bit is ideal for
porcelain tile, as porcelain tile is harder and more difficult to drill through.
To drill a clean hole in the ceramic
tile, put a 2”x2” piece of masking tape over the area where you want to drill.
The masking tape will prevent the drill bit from drifting or walking off the
desired hole location.
Next, using a pen or pencil mark the
spot on the masking tape where you want to drill the hole in the ceramic tile.

Using a center punch or awl, and
hammer lightly tap the marked drill location to make a minor chip on the surface
of the ceramic tile. Again, this will help to ensure the drill bit will not
wander.

Apply light to moderate pressure on
the drill when drilling the hole in the ceramic tile. Also, operate the drill at
a low to moderate speed.

After penetrating the tile with the
