I guess this is asked a lot, so please point
me in the right direction.

I want to drill some holes in large bathroom tiles,
to take screws for a grab bar in a shower.


Others have described the "correct way" (i.e. tile drill) - having said
that I have always found a masonry drill works just fine. Use a bit of
tape to stop it wandering, and drill with a slow speed and no hammer
action.


That's how I did it, normal masonry drill bit, and I really can't emphasise
enough about the drill being at a slow speed. Like John says also - masking
tape too.
