ceramic tile hole saw menards Related Question:
What kind of hole saw do you use for tile?
The easiest and neatest method is to buy a 1-1/4 in. ceramic-tile hole saw (from about $10 for individual bits to about $50 for kits). It has carbide grit embedded in the rim that allows it to cut into vitreous tile.
Will a carbide hole saw cut tile?
For drilling small holes, regular drill bits will not be able to pass through the hardened glaze of most tiles. You’ll need a carbide-tipped masonry bit or a diamond tipped bit. To drill larger holes in tile, drill a number of spaced holes or indentations that surround a circle drawn on the tile.
Can you use a normal hole saw on tile?
Hole saws made for cutting tile are coated with a carbide grinding surface and can be purchased at most home improvement stores. If you only need 1 size, match the diameter of the hole saw to your measurement. Otherwise, consider investing in a complete set of tile hole saws. Make a small indentation in the tile.
