Introduction
Porcelain and stone are unforgiving materials. Incorrect technique or poor-quality tools can result in chipped tiles, wasted materials, and costly rework. Understanding the correct drilling method is essential.
Start with the Right Tool
Using a vacuum-brazed holesaw is critical for clean results, especially in dry drilling applications.
Recommended features:
-
M14 threaded connection
-
Precision-balanced construction
-
High-density diamond coating
Correct Drilling Technique
Proper technique reduces heat buildup and protects both the material and the tool.
Best practices:
-
Mark drilling position accurately
-
Begin at a slight angle to establish control
-
Level out once engaged
-
Use lift-out motion to manage heat
Avoiding Common Mistakes
Many failures occur due to rushing or excessive pressure.
Avoid:
-
Continuous drilling without cooling pauses
-
Applying side pressure
-
Forcing the tool through dense material
Final Results
Following correct methods delivers smoother holes, cleaner finishes, and longer tool life — saving time and material on every job.
