How To Drill Large Holes In Porcelain Or Ceramic Tile

[@stevewaclo167]

For holes in vertical porcelain tile, have an assistant with a spray bottle keep the work soaked. As noted, proceed slowly and remove the bit often and spray inside the hole.

Great stuff! I'm cutting corian for the first time with an oscillating tool and all your videos and hints have been so helpful. Watching the whole series really puts it all together. You are a really great demonstrator too!

Thanks for the demo, good stuff! I need to cut my holes in installed wall tile. How do you keep the saw wet while working vertically?

[@enduringcharm]

Using a hole saw on installed tile, especially in the vertical position, is risky. If you must do it, you can still use the diamond hole saw and the plastic cup. I would recommend having a helper keep water flowing into the cup (which will run right back out, of course). You could fill a plastic bag and cut off a corner of the bottom to let water out. The helper can direct the water from the bag into the area being drilled.

@@enduringcharm Thanks so much for the response. I saw another video showing a helper constantly spraying water onto the bit from a plain spray bottle. Just below the work area, he had blue tape holding Saran Wrap which trailed down into a bucket. Kept the bit wet and no mess! Gonna give that a try. Thanks again!

Marble works the same way. Just go slow and make sure you support directly underneath the drilling area.
