        Trying to do a new project and need to put two holes in 6x6 ceramic tiles. The holes need to be about 1/4 inch diameter or a tad bigger. What kind of drill bit do I use?

        Thanks for any help!

        use a tulip bit, run it slow, don't overpressure it, and keep the work area wet with a little dribble of water. even hardware stores will have tulip bits for glass or ceramics now, not just the home centers.


        sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
