And if the tile is fixed on the wall?

Actually, according to the directions of the diamond bit I just purchased, you must move the drill around 5-10 degrees when vertical, and never drill straight down. I'm assuming it has to do with keeping down the heat and allowing water to penetrate, as well as dispersing the stress on the diamond particles.

To keep it wet you can use a sponge to squeeze water while you are drilling, or use a spray bottle to keep spraying water.

would like to see a video of this being done on a tiled wall (grouted) - any chance of that?

Looks like metal shavings on the tile after the hole was made. Dunno what that says about the strength of the tooling steel ~rolls eyes~

[applieddiamondtools]

these are not metal shavings but dusts/debris from porcelain.

lol they are from the sink that you hit after the bit went through
