Awesome tutorial! I just did this today to hang a shower curtain and I have learned a thing. The wall plugs were 1/4" but wouldn't fit the hole. I put a vernier on my bit and it was 1/4" spear point. My other bit was masonry but 1/4" but measured 7mm! I got an old tile and tried enlarging the hole with other bit and the wall plugs fitted those holes! Lesson learned: always do a trial with scrap when using new things before drilling into your newly laid bathroom tiles!

Those are the softest tiles I ever saw. I used the same tile cutter and it took about 40 minutes. I have the wood look tiles so I don't know if that made the difference but I drilled one hole a day to put up the shower frame because it was such a pain.

Sounds like your tiles are porcelain Carol. Porcelain tiles are a different creature all together and require a special diamond tipped hole saw and a lot of cooling lubricant.

That's great Mate, what happens if you are on a masonry wall, can you use that to go into the brickwork as well? Tim.

G'day Tim. The tile and glass cutter won't go into masonry. You'll need a masonry bit like the one l show at the start of the video. Good luck 👍👍

Just got difficulty drilling iron door frame cast with concrete?? Yesterday morning.

Helps to hand tighten the screws in, maybe even screwdriver them in a bit, then get two hands on the drill driver to tighten them. I slipped once and carved a valley into the glaze on a job and that was a bit of a bugger to sort out. Worse, when I had finished wasting half a day buggering aboot sorting the problem (replacing the tile) I caused and fitted the shower rail fittings it would have covered the gouge... Lesson learned!

Thanks for the reply Uncle :) I got lucky in that it was a job in a holiday home and there was time for grout and tile cement to set up but it was a bit of a brown trouser moment for sure! I was thinking about it later and recall I actually used a normal metal bit to drill. This is over 20 years ago now and the nearest proper hardware store was a 160 mile round trip. So I sacrificed a 3 or 4 mill to get through the glaze then carefully worked the hole up to the right size using the next size up and the next ect. Light pressure and slow seemed to do it. again, thanks for your reply, sharing stories half way round the world, always makes me smile. My Dad was a Sci-fi buff so we used to talk about this kind of stuff all the time and here we are :)

@@diyforknuckleheads Thanks for the caution. What Ill do is apply extra minimal pressure, and use a 6mm cylindrical diamond core bit. Take it very slowly. I don't know if it's ceramic or porcelain until I arrive at the site.

I'm not sure what kind of tile that is, but the ceramic tile I have put up a huge fight with a glass bit. Brand new Dewalt spear bit. took a coujple of minutes to get to the mortar level. And I have 5 more holes to drill! I guess I'll be buying more bits.

@diyforknuckleheads

G'day Scott....are you sure that your tile is ceramic and not Porcelain? If it is ceramic, then the bit should go through like a hot knife through butter. If it is porcelain, you will need a specialised porcelain bit. Good luck 👍🎄

what should i do if there is thick concrete behind the ceramics tile? should i change to masonry bit after make tiny hole with spearhead-bit?

@diyforknuckleheads

6 жыл бұрын

Sorry about the late reply David. The spearhead will not drill into masonry....you will have to use a masonry bit. The spearhead won't go all the way through the tile as the tip of the bit will hit the concrete before the hole has been fully drilled. If you like you could start the hole with the spearhead and then finish with the masonry bit or you could just use the masonry bit from the start. Good luck 👍

Those drill bits are great but expensive. I installed shower doors for several years, and I would add the protip of keeping that drill bit wet if you have porcelain, if that drill bit gets hot it will be useless next time. Get a spray bottle, or a plastic water bottle with a small hole drilled in the cap and just give it a nice Spritzer every few seconds. Keep your drill bit cool and it'll last you many many holes. Otherwise great tips, and that is the right proper way to drill your tile.

Thanks mate and yeah you're right re the water when drilling into a porcelain tile. Cheers mate 👍😁

What about porcelain tiles, same method?

I like his trick. But those who don't have special but and multi speed drill. Please follow. It is easy. No need multi speed drill or special bit. 1. take a nail 2. Tap the nail against the tile where you want to drill hole. 3. Drill with normal bit. No slipping of drill bit.

Seems simple enough.

@Captain Buff very clever mate, next time I have to screw a cupboard that I've built to a tiled wall (which would be basically every single kitchen and laundry renovation and 80% of my work as a cabinetmaker) I'll just use magic to hold it up instead because according to you woodworkers don't drill holes in tiles. Is there any other amazing wisdom you'd like to share? Also I don't know that I've ever seen an ad for someone to drill holes in tiles specifically, maybe you could name the specific trade that it is limited to but the request came from the homeowner who I did some other woodwork for and I asked him to call a handyman but he insisted I do it because he trusted me more to do it. As for screwing the job up, not sure which orifice you pulled that one out of, the job was done above expectation, it just cost me a lot of time and money to do it.
