What happens here

With the tile properly secured and lubricated, begin the drilling process. Start by positioning the Diamond Tile Drill Bit at a 45-degree angle against the tile surface. This initial angle allows the bit to 'bite' into the tile, preventing it from skidding or 'walking' across the smooth surface. Once the bit has created a small groove, gradually roll the drill upward to a 90-degree angle (perpendicular to the tile). Apply steady, moderate pressure and continue drilling while ensuring the area remains wet with water. The video shows the drill efficiently cutting through the tile, creating some steam due to the friction and water interaction.

Goal: Drill a precise hole in the tile
