they're exellent for those hard as fuck porcleane tiles, you can pay £16/20 for a single diamond cutter and it will burn up after one hole, you'll get a few holes out of these, course you know the script, slowly slowly catchy monkey,, if you rush it you'll burn them out,  |

I find that ordinary tiles can be drilled with a masonry bit. All you have to do is tap the centre of where you want the hole with a nail/ screw. Just enough to break the glaze. Don't use hammer action and tek it steady.  |

For porcelain tiles, floor or wall, try these; www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381857153016 Straight from Honkers, so they could take 4 years to get here, but they're cheap. This is my tip for porcelain tiles; Floor; Make a ring of Plumbers Mait around the hole you've marked, start to bore the hole, then fill your PM ring with water. Bore about 1/2-3/4 way through the tile, then use a masonry nail to punch through the remainder of the tile. Wall; Start to bore the hole in the tile & squirt lots of water on it with any old squirting bottle. Again, 1/2-3/4 the way through & then punch the rest out with a masonary nail as above. An old Tiler gave me this tip & Ive never broken a tile yet. Don't forget the cheap Chinky drill bits!! |

Yes, she was the wrong side of two bottles of Gin & decided she was too drunk to walk to the Offie & took the Bentley. She made it into the Guinness Book of Records with the highest Blood Count, old Mrs McKay who she stopped & gave a lift to, will soon be off the medication - so every cloud etc etc!! |

So thats why they bang the price up!!!!
