What happens here
Garren explains the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles. He demonstrates drilling a ceramic tile dry, highlighting that while water is generally recommended, ceramic can be drilled without it. He then attempts to drill a porcelain tile, pouring water from a purple water bottle onto the tile, and using a drill at a slow speed and decent pressure. However, the drill bit pushes through the tile and hits a springy backdrop, causing the bit to chip due to lack of a solid support.
Goal: Showcase drilling ceramic tile and identify a common mistake when drilling porcelain.
