Last part we know that tungsten carbide tile drill bits are ideal for drilling through tiles, and before drilling we shall clean the tile, put on mask for us, cross cover the tile with tapes and then prepare a tiny positioning pit. Here we go on explaining the useful tips.

 

Step 6: drill through the tile slowly. Set your drill to a low speed and apply modest pressure to the surface. Allow the drill to work slowly, rather than push hard and crack the tile. Applying too much pressure can cause the tile to blow out and crack on the backside, creating a weak spot in the tile and often a much larger hole than originally intended.

 

Step 7: lubricate with water as you drill. Friction from drilling hard materials creates a great deal of heat, which can scorch the tungsten carbide tile drill bit or even break the tile. Protect your project and extend the lifespan of the drill bit with a constant trickle of water. You may use a small hose, or an assistant with a squirt bottle or glass of water."Pump" the drill every 15 to 20 seconds with a tiny up-and-down motion. This draws water to the tip of the tile drill bit, where friction is greatest.The tile drill bit should never feel more than slightly warm. If it gets hot, stop and wet it until it cools down.

 

Step 8: penetrate the backing board. You can switch back to a regular drill bit for this process if you prefer. Continue to drill slowly and patiently, as it is just as important to maintain the wood or drywall behind the tile. Damaging the backing board can make it difficult to anchor your screw or whatever you plan to insert.
