How to drill tile

Often, the walls with a ceramic coating requires the holes of various assignments - for fastening elements or under sewage pipes. The tile is solid and brittle, so prepare for work seriously.

1
A drill is required to drill, better electrical on which the revolutions of the output head is provided. A rechargeable or network screwdriver is also suitable. All machines must provide a rotation of the drill with a frequency of about 200 rpm. Perforators, high-speed or shock drills are not applied, you can break the tile.

2
Cutting tool for ceramic tiles - Carbide drill on ceramics or stone. If you need to perform only a few holes, it is better to purchase a drill with a carbide or a winning tip - it is cheaper. Professionals buy tools with diamond spraying, they longer serve. You can purchase a special pointed (in the form of a spear) a drill with a winite plate that does not give a drill to slide at the beginning of drilling.

3
Check out a slightly scratch or hole in the drilling center. Take a tissue leucoplasty on the tile on top of scratching, which will not allow the drill to slide at the beginning of work. Additionally, mark the drilling center on the leafoplasty.

4
Adjust the drill to the minimum speed. Drill gently and slowly, keep drill securely, watch the tool displaced. After passing the outdoor, the most solid, the tile layer of the rotation speed is allowed to increase.

5
Do not allow the drill overheating. With a characteristic smell and redness of the tool, cool it in machine oil. Before continuing, wrapping the drill from the oil - the stains appeared on the tile are difficult to wash.

6
The tool is heated when it turns too fast. After 20-30 minutes of work, cool the cutting tool in the oil, especially this is important for tools with diamond spraying.

7
After performing through hole, replace the special drill tool for concrete and continue to work. To perform a hole of the allowable depth, fasten the limiter on the tool, for example, the isolent for which the size can be controlled. Clean the hole from the dirt and insert a dowel.

8
To perform large openings, use a "crown" -tructure device with diamond spraying. In order for the equipment does not slide in the initial period, the crown is manufactured with the guide drill that makes a small hole in the material. Cheaper option - a device with teeth from winning. It is enough for a small number of holes. To extend the service, the crown periodically dip in the water, it is recommended to work on small revolutions.

9
The opening of a large diameter is allowed to perform the "ballet" - a tool in the form of a circular. Tool the tool to the center of the hole, move the cutter from the center by the guide parallel to the tile before getting the desired size. Positive sides of the tool - by one fixture are performed by holes of different diameters, negative - poor quality of the edges, after work, refinement is required.

10
The ballet hole is performed before mounting to the wall. Put the tile for half an hour into the water so as not to split when working. Drill tiles with a unhappy side on small speed. Suitable safety measures - put on safety glasses.

Perform a hole in the tile is not difficult, the main thing is not hurry and adhere to the technology of working with a specific tool.
