Drilling Porcelain Tile Without Breaking It: A Practical Guide in 6 Steps
Porcelain tile is a tough, sophisticated material that is widely used in floor and wall finishes. Drilling into this material can seem like a challenge, but with the right equipment and technique, drilling can be done without breaking the material. In this guide, we’ll explore the 6 key steps to getting accurate holes in porcelain tile.
Step 1: Necessary Equipment
To successfully drill porcelain stoneware, make sure you have the right equipment . You will need a variable speed drill, a diamond crown designed for stoneware, a suitable lubricant and a pair of protective glasses.
Step 2: Marking the Drilling Point
Use masking tape to mark the exact spot where you want to drill. This will help prevent slippage and ensure accurate placement.
Step 3: Proper Lubrication
Apply sufficient lubricant to the drilling point. This will reduce the heat generated during the process and improve the life of the diamond core bit.
Step 4: Choosing the Correct Rotation Speed
Adjust the rotation speed of the drill according to the diamond core bit manufacturer's recommendations. Too high a speed may damage the stoneware, while too low a speed may not be effective.
Step 5: Drilling with Light Pressure
Use constant, light pressure while drilling. Avoid applying too much pressure, as this may cause damage to the porcelain stoneware.
Step 6: Cleaning and Finishing
After completing the drilling, carefully remove any residue and clean the surrounding area. You are now ready to use the hole as needed.
With this guide, drilling porcelain stoneware becomes an accessible and safe process.
