If you know someone, you might get a neighbour that has something similar to drill them for the same price. The alternative is to drill a lot of smaller holes around a penned in disk, tap it with a drift or join the dots with a file or something. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

How can I do it without breaking the whole slab ? Any help would be appreciated ? If it's just the shower head, then this can be done with a normal drill bit ( 15 mm), if you're careful. The taps / thermostat will need to be mounted behind the tiles, and I'll bet that you'll end up having an edge that needs removed, so this can be done with a tile saw or grinder. If the taps aren't near a tile edge, then drill a hole and thread a tile saw through. Have fun Andy |

Thanks guys. Just found out from my neighbour that the material is a melamine. How does that cut ? Easy or is it too brittle to try cutting ? |
