When I really didn't want to take a chance breaking a tile when drilling, I would make a small donut out of modeling clay and press it onto the tile around the hole and fill it with water, then drill at a slow speed. A little extra work maybe, but it never failed me.
It is the heat and impact that breaks them.

When you drill a tile just turn off the hammer function on the drill and use a piece of masking tape on the spot and you can do the drilling with an ordinary concrete drill.

О великий мастер умеющий пользоваться специальным алмазным сверлом! Этого же никто ни когда не делал. Кстати прекрасно сверлится и без воды, потому что на стену её не нальешь.

Jak widać jednak ktoś zna. A jak zna jedna osoba to możliwe, że tysiące innych też. No, moja potrzeba sensowności wypowiedzi dała o sobie znać. Powodzenia😁

Well I have drilled tiles a lot and what works for me is take the drill off hammer action with a bradawl tap gently and score a mark on the tile so the bit doesn’t slip.drill through the tile off hammer when you get through the tile put in on hammer action and drill into the wall.When you place the plug in the hole make sure the plug is passed the tile or you will burst the tile.

I have learned a lot from you, thank you for sharing the video

I knew this secret! So it is not "no one"... If you try making the hole with a hammer, it will break the tile too!

I put up blinds and poles and tracks of all sorts for over 40 years, like Lenny Kelly below says gently score a small hole with a pointed bradawl then tap gently bradawl with a hammer to make the hole slightly larger then drill on slow speed not hammer action. i think i only broke 2 tiles in that time and they were about 50 years old so really brittle.

just use diamond drill bit (solid tube or hole saw). work the best.

Ese secreto lo descubrí yo hace muchos años. Si para taladrar un azulejo usas la percusión es seguro que lo rompes. La otra forma es más lenta pero te ahorra disgustos.

[markrickard]

Whats the secret?? I've been a tiler for well over 20 years & I've been using diamond drill bits since I started tiling for making holes.

Good video but adding voice would be very helpful.

If you're gonna drill glass or tile, use a glass and tile bit... That's the big secret?

According to my experience, yes you can go with impact and do what you need to do fast and effective, if the tile guy has done quality job tile wont brake. But impact hole has guite extensive edges, sometimes you need perfect edges and cant take risk that tile guy has put one tile shitty. So there are to ways todeal with it.. for diys, few holes take universal drillbit lightly larger than a hole you are going to drill, tap it lightly with an hammer while turning it on the tile to get rid of the glaze, take ceramic, glass or a masonry drill bit and drill hole on low turns. For advanced amateurs:buy normal quality drill bits for ceramic, puncturemark hole with an old drillbit and drill on low speed, dont forget to cool bit with water and charge more for installation as you are burning trough drillbits. Remeber, you allmost never drill on the ideal circumstances on the floor between two tiles, you drill on the wall on the edge of the tile

Just get some bosch multi construction bits, for ceramic or marcrist diamond hole saws for porcelain

I had to drill through a 10mm thick tile, so I used silicone to create a circle, filled it with water, and then drilled . Simples.
