What power tools are used to make holes in ceramic tiles?

Answer:

To answer your question, know the two key: 1, the size of the hole you want to play, 2, the material of the tile.
First use a glass drill to blow through the tile (pistol drill will do), and then hit the drill bit to hit the wall (must impact drilling).
If the tiles are homogeneous and of relatively high hardness, the ideal is to use an inlaid alloy drill bit (also a glass drill) and a multi-function electric drill. The first is the use of surface rotation function, after the surface would have to be careful, even with a hammer hammer function with rotary hammer through the high hardness of the ceramic tile; at the same time to water (usually plastic Coke bottles, bottle through a small hole can be cooling, high hardness) or ceramic tile will make alloy annealed alloy embedded bit on a rotating and lose the hardness of scrap.
If only is the common glazed tile, then the use of hardware stores can buy inlaid alloy bit and general rotary drill can, generally used for hanging screws, with 6 - bit 8mm (as the bearing and the corresponding wall fixture in diameter); if you want to tap water pipe prefabricated parts then, the large building materials market (supermarket) to buy and use embedded 40mm, diameter of alloy bit hollow (also called glass drill).
