QUOTE(amco @ Oct 20 2017, 11:44 AM) Answer : None Thanks for the recommendations!Get a rotary hammer 22mm or 24mm would suffice. Can buy China made cheap cheap around RM 210-250 such as below Bossman 226 Lever 2-24 Or if you want branded Stanley STEL503K  For the China brand, is the bit easily find and replaceable? Can drill tiles too i believe? |

QUOTE(amco @ Oct 21 2017, 01:08 PM) I have been using China's brand for 6 years, no problem so far. Can drill hole thru tiles and concrete. Mainly for home DIY, probably max 10 holes per day and few times a year. thanks for the suggestion!Buyers should know, it is not for heavy duty and dont use for whole day like drilling 50 holes per day because it cannot tahan prolong heat. If you know its limit, can last many years. bought myself a China made rotary hammer drill from DIY shop, and also a SDS hammer bit. no issue drilling hole in the concrete, but not sure how to drill on a tile. i used only the drilling mode and at slow speed at the beginning, tile has no crack but the hole seems is very shallow.. unsure if i was doing it right.. |

QUOTE(amco @ Oct 24 2017, 02:16 PM) When drilling hole into tiles : Thanks for the guidance, appreciate that! 1) Set to drill only mode (if you're expert enough, set minimum hammer mode) 2) Drill slowly and check the hole 3) When the drill fully punch in a hole in tiles, increase a little hammer mode (for some model) or you can adjust/press the power 50-60% to make sure no full hammer mode 3) Never set full hammer/rotary mode in tiles and NO full power all the way, tiles will break  Shall give a try this weekend with these steps. |

QUOTE(RokXIII @ Oct 25 2017, 03:31 PM) Thanks for the guidance, appreciate that! Just happened to know that, actually the tile im trying to drill, is porcelain tile instead of ceramic tile, no wonder so hard to drill with the carbide bit. Shall give a try this weekend with these steps. Guess the only option left is to drill with diamond bit? Any idea where can i get it? Went through ace hardware shop and home pro but couldn't get any. |
