What happens here

When drilling through brittle materials like ceramic tile, it is essential to slow down the drill speed to prevent cracking or chipping the material. Additionally, the video explicitly recommends using water as a coolant and lubricant during this process. While the demonstrator notes they don't have water handy for the video, for actual DIY projects, applying water will significantly improve the drilling experience and result.

Goal: Drill through ceramic tile cleanly and without damage.

Tools and materials

  • Ceramic Tile — Demonstrating drilling through tile
