well had to drill small holes in the shower stall through ceramic tile,  the little diamond drilling kit I picked up the other day worked awesome……  without it this little task would have been a nightmare…….easy peasy 

the suction cup jig provided worked perfect for stability while drilling………..

That’s jig is sweet! Wish I had one this past summer on a school project I was running, would have been a good item to have. Is it easy to keep the bit wet with the jig in the way?

well seeings it is a small hole I just have a cup of water in my hand and every few seconds take drill out and spin it in water only takes a few seconds to drill through…..I guess a spray bottle would work but this way less messy….

This is my attitude towards all mastercraft stuff.

it sure is nice when you have the right tools for the job!   good stuff, man

 

I use a few of the diamond hole saws with no pilot bit but i havent seen that alignment jig ever.. usually i just run the drill at an angle until it starts to cut then slowly stand it up straight to complete the cut but its never as clean as your hole and there is always the chance that the bit goes skipping across the face of a few tiles before it gets started,  scratching them and costing a ton of time replacing tiles..
