Through, between risks splintering & cracking.
Do you do much shaving then?
For tiles? Nah, ordinary tile drill, spear shaped head...
I use tile drills...
I use those to drill the masonry once the tile drill is through.
With a tile drill I don't bother with all that, just place the point of the spear on the mark then without starting the drill, lean on it & you'll hear & feel a slight crunch as the tip breaks the glaze, then steady & slowly away with the drill (not on hammer).
I once knackered a Bosch multi bit drilling porcelain tiles, it list one side of the TCT? section!
I bought some tubular diamond encrusted, wax filled specialist porcelain bits but only just managed to drill around 5 holes before it too was knacked...
Why do people fit porcelain?
