mounting mini-shelf onto tiled wall
Am new to diy and need some drilling advice here as i need to mount a mini-shelf onto my tiled wall. have managed to drill thru my tile with an 'impact drill' (apparently not a hammer drill as it just rotates). now the my masonry bit hits bricks and it wont get thru anymore. does it mean i need to get a 'hammer drill' instead? -- Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason's Profile: http://www.homeplot.com/member.php?userid=130 View this thread: http://www.homeplot.com/showthread.php?t=59619 |

What type of bit are you using? A twist drill will go through tile, but just sit and turn and get dull with brick. Get a masonry bit and it will go right in. |

mounting mini-shelf onto tiled wall
used a twist drill initially on the tile and switched to a masonry bit to break thru the tile to hit the bricks. held the masonry bit there subsquently with no movement/ penetration. -- Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason's Profile: http://www.homeplot.com/member.php?userid=130 View this thread: http://www.homeplot.com/showthread.php?t=59619 |
