Just checked the FAQ but would like to double check:


I need to drill an 8mm or so hole in a glazed ceramic floor tile (bog
screws).


Masonry drill on slow and some insulation tape to stop wander? Am I
correct... Might be near the tile edge...


If they're porcelain tiles a masonry drill or tile one will be
useless. Best to get a diamond one. And use plenty water to keep it
cool.


The OP said "glazed ceramic floor tile" - I assume not porcelain or he would
have said so?
