What about a stream of air to keep it cool ?
No kids.
Outside corner.

Â* Not enough heat transfer . Build a little "dike" around where you're
drilling the hole with some modeling (children's) clay , keep it full of
water while you drill . Put a wad on the back side too to keep the water
in place as you go thru the tile .

It's a coolant AND a lubricant.


Â* Good point , I was more concerned about differential expansion due to
slow heat transfer .
