Another gem thanks bill

[@tonyleanne5461]

Great video Bill, doing a bathroom remodel and your video helped with drilling the waste and mixer holes in the stone vanity top. Took my time and it ended up being much easier than I expected. Thanks again.

[@EkezGC]

Thanks Bill! I was going to get someone in to cut the holes but after your video ill give it a crack.

[@Bilal_El-Hassan]

Yeah Billy

[@latiffabdul]

Thanks. Very useful.

[@pranavbanerjee5601]

yeah masonary bit works great on tiles and stones, but there is always a change of chipping and cracking. the person who fixed doors and toiletries in my house used masonary bit instead of diamond bit.

Always wear a mask ladies and gents because of the silica dust.You dont want that on your lungs.

They have just been taking to a person on the news that has Silicosis, he was given 5-8 years to live in 2018!!! Be careful.

[@Paul-MP]

awesome Bill, and wow that "easter egg bit" yeah I'll be damned... who'd have thought... and why not be destructive :)

[@richardcooper]

To be honest is a saying, so unless taken out of context shouldn't mean you are dishonest ;) other times. Thanks Bill, to be honest I have not watched your videos for a while, so I'm going to catch up now on all your awesome content, can never over load on Bill's How To :)

[@geoffbomford2927]

Good video, but these benchtops are almost banned in Australia because of the risk of silicosis, so please look after your lungs, wear a mask and drill/cut under a water dam.

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

Do you have to seal it again? Im going to drill holes in a marble bench top for a sink and basin. I would imagine no because the tap has rubber seals and the basin waste will have silicone on both sides. I might even put s bead of silicone around the basin so it's a little easier to clean where the basin meets the top of the cooumtertop.

[@khalodh]

excellent

[@Levorador]

Oi!!! Good video as ususal. (Keep it up mate!) To make this intresting, a Karate Master would break it to two pieces. But you know more about building stuff, so you should know more about demolition. Break it to a thousands pieces. And show us a method to put it together, and glue it together. That would make you a Grand Master of Life. Alpha & Omega!

[@fadelfarae6019]

Bill if you don't mind me asking where you from, you look middle eastern to me. Great video.

Not enough protection imho.. u need a respirator... people dying from silicosis

[@daphnestairnosingaustralia5659]

Hi Bill, I have to drill a lot of holes in terrazzo steps to attach aluminium stair nosing. Woulod I use a diamond drill bit, and cool it with water? Is terrazzo harder than stone? Thx

[@chikalukorkwati2179]

Can you try with an ozito using that masonry bit?

[@atvcampingadventures1728]

Well to be honest I was surprised it drilled one hole 🫢🤔

[@petermiddo]

There would be NO WAY ON DOGS GREEN EARTH I would drill with hole saw without a pilot bit!

[@sarahnz65]

Would my combination rotary hammer drill work in this circumstance? That’s what I use to drill and plug concrete, I assume it would work on this style of bench top. I use the quad tip masonry bits not the twin or spade style, just in case it makes a difference to the answer.

[@Jim-yk9zw]

Never do that with a hole saw. Hammer is for masonry bits into brick/concrete/ render. Don't use hammer on things like tile or these stone bench tops either as you will break the tiles or possibly chip or crack the stone which will be very costly as a contractor or unfortunate to live with as a diy'er.
