Hi All
What the best way to drill holes for pipe work in italian porcelain tiles.
I have tried masonary drills they blunted within minutes I bought a small arrow headed bit recommended by a local building centre but it broke after the first of a number needed to reach a pipe size hole.
Someone recommended using a piece of copper pipe and carborundum paste with oil as a lubricant. I know I could buy a diamond bit to do it but I only need two 18mm holes for a shower fitting, and being as i am such a poor man with a frugal streak I am reluctant to buy expensive tools to use once.
Thanks for any suggestions.
