things get better once you get the hang of it, if your drilled hole is too big for your anchor, just get bigger anchor and hammer it in, if you're not sure, go small, start with 5.5mm bit, try put in the anchor, if it doesn't fit, don't try to force it in, if the anchor get smashed half way in lagi susah

Got that one really? Wonder how much is the cost. I found a bit design to drill quartz, it shape just like the normal masonry. Price is RM40. Planning to buy that to make drill easier. Currently, I'm drilling for 1/2 hour for 1 tile hole. Wonder if my tile type is harder one.

What size say? Worth it to get the RM 40 drill bit?

multipurpose doesn't cost that much but it cannot be used to drill quartz top, I believe you need diamond coated tip for that one.

Tile doesn't really need 30minutes to drill, just keep dipping the bit into the water to keep it cool while drilling, i'll say I used 5 minutes average per tile hole, I was only using 650w b&d impact drill, my friend used his bosch rotary hammer drill and he drill a tile hole are pretty much under few seconds.

depends on type too, especially those rough surface porcelain tiles, usually in bathroom those type, good luck with those if you're using rm150 drill like me
