    Hi.
    Just wondering if anyone out there would know what to drill a marble tile with? I have to drill 4 holes for radiators to gain access to a suspended floor and I'm not sure what to drill the tiles with.

    Thanks in advance.

    It sounds irish johnny but it depends on the quality of the marble. Just be carefull of drill speed.

    Use as thin as you can get diamond bit to start and gradually get thicker, A thin masonary bit will do it as well but the diamond bit is the best.

    Do not use the drill on hammer action.

    Really i cannot overstate it all depends on the marble. Is it honed and filled? because if so it should actually be relativly easy

    Why do people put the cart before the horse.
