    old school for me drilling tile, masking tape and a masonary bit (no hammer on drill) - takes a while and you have to be careful not to force the bit through - just patience and high rpm with a cup of water.

    I use a small piece of plywood , I drill a hole the same size as the diamond bit and attach double sided tape to the plywood, feed the diamond bit through the plywood, line up the diamond bit with the mark on the tile the push the plywood to the
    tile and stick it on and the drill, guaranteed not to move. You can take the plywood off when half way through or keep going until you have drilled all the way. I also use the same proceedure on all size diamond bits, I haven't broken a tile yet! Use plenty of water especially on the large bits.
    A hint from the Skill Builder is to dill through soft material to unclog your diamond bit, keeps it sharp.

    Hi, Robin I cheated when I first started to drill tiles, I pinched the ideas from somebody Who was much cleverer than me. You may know him His name was Robin Clevett. So, I watched how you did it a long time ago. And then I've never looked back. So, thank you very much for the Information on how to do it again. You did tell me long time ago and I've never forgotten it.

    I use a wet sponge or cloth around the bit when drilling porcelain, it keeps the bit cooler and controls the slurry

    I use a squirt bottle and give it a spray when the tile dust turns pasty and the bit stays cool and lasts longer

    When drilling with that tile bit after you get started get a old squirt bottle "windolene or the like" fill with water a spray as Yr drilling saves time when u drill 👍

    Good tips Robin. I use a small cordless Hilti SDS Rotary hammer with built in vacuum. Along with 4 Cut Kango masonry bits. I'm drilling tiles every other day with this setup. Quickly and with no probs.

    Put the drill on a slower setting and you wont need to cool the bit so much. Will actually work out quicker to drill the hole.

    You should just run the drill bit in the water each time you dip, you'll be surprised how much more comes off the drill bit, leaving it cleaner when you carry on.

    Hi Robin , my paslode 2nd fix gun is playing up lately and they want silly money to repair it . I was thinking of purchasing a Hikoki 16Ga battery only 2nd fix gun , do the paslode nails fit this gun as I have a mountain of such nails , do you think the Hikoki gun is worth the cost or is it still best to stick with paslode , your opinion will be of value to me but not binding 🙂.
    Keep well ,

    Great video as always.
    The only thing I was confused about was the use of sauna wood for a wet room? Aren’t saunas incredibly dry rooms? Everyone I go in them the air is like desert air, painfully dry. Steam rooms are very wet, but saunas always seem very dry and hot. I know in the manual ones they pour some water on the stones, but that doesn’t seem to wet the air. What I do know is that hit air can hold way more water than cold air, so the fact that the air is so incredibly hot, the water is just locked into the air and doesn’t get on anything, if it was cold the water would condensate on things around the room and also be visible in the air s water vapor like mist and fog.
    Maybe I’m wrong, but seems like cedar oak may be better for wet rooms?

      The pull out strength of these screws into the trustud timber partitions is massive, from memory it was a 60mm screw with about 35mm embeded into the actual stud
