Drilling through hard tile

Trying to add bath screen and I need to make 9 holes in wall tiles. Got a tile/glass drill bit but its taken 35 mins to make 1 hole.

Holes 7mm

I was told a diamond bit would be better. I have seen some for soft and medium density tiles, which has been doubt in my mind as to the one I need.

Any ideas for one please?

    It really depends on what tiles you have.

    If you don't know, grab a diamond one as it'll work for all situations

    Get yourself a marcrist or armeg PTC. Slow speed and plenty of water

    Sounds like grade 5 porcelain

  • maybe start with a smaller drill bit 1-2mm then work your way up to 7mm
