hi in this video I'm going to
demonstrate how to drill a hole in a
tile wall now as you can see I want to
hang this little picture here and it
needs to be hung on this tar wall now
yes I know you can get stick on hooks
which you can put on here and attach
your picture frame whatever it is but
sometimes you want to drill into the
wall and this is the point of this video
okay so you want to mark off on the wall
way you want to drill now my advice is
don't put it between tiles don't put it
right on the edge of a table because it
often cracks my advice is try put it
quite central so I'm gonna make the
little mark here I've made the mark yeah
that's what I want to drill the hole
right now you'll need plugs nylon plugs
this is the plug and you can see the
size of this plug this is a seven
millimeter which means you'll need a
seven millimeter drill bit I use the STS
but anyway the method of doing this is
not going to change whether you use the
HTS or the regular so the first step is
to use a smaller drill bit you can see
this is much smaller and I'm going to
drill this hole but I'm not gonna put it
on the hammer function but I'll show you
what that means now right on your drill
you will see you've got two selections
hammer and just regular drill now this
is the key if you use the hammer on a
tile it often cracks the top so I'm
putting this on regular you know what
you're used for wood was still right the
drill bit is in place and now I'm gonna
drill this hole and what I want to
highlight is that we're not draw I'm
going slowly and go through the tall and
it won't crack the top right make sure
that when you do drill you come at a
straight angle you don't come like that
or like that you want to come exactly
the horizontal and what you do is you
just press on the drill to activate it
just gently so
cutting into this car at a slow rate I'm
not using the hammer action at all right
now just some notes if you press too
hard and they did not draft at the back
end and put enough cement on the top you
could crack the top so it's important to
find the balance don't press very hard
and also it's a slow process so you want
to drill slowly you don't want to just
rush this okay just remember that your
voice checked in the line of the top on
the front and the back of the wall that
there are no pipes or electrical
conduits running in the wall
right and there you can see I'm actually
through the tile this is a masonry bit
so there you can see the bit
and I basically just ground into the top
right now I'm gonna draw and because I'm
through the tile at this point I can
change the action of the drill to their
Hut hammer function and don't be wild
keep the drill stove in the line and
don't wiggle the top because that's how
you can crack the table especially
winners on the hammer function
okay very important when you are
releasing the thrill of pulling it are
done yang cannot come out slowly right
because the plug is much bigger than
that hole I'm not gonna come with the
correct role but sauce so this is the
number seven and I'm gonna follow the
same procedure just remember to first
put it on the regular a drill function
not the hammer now what you'll notice is
that if you do not support the draw
close to the hole it Wiggles
it's very important that you support the
drill otherwise that wiggling can
initiate a prayer this is an example of
supporting the drill this is an example
of an unsupported roll all right so you
want to support it almost right so now
it is through the tile and all I have to
do is not change it to the draw the
hammer action and gently hammer they may
see me all right there you can see a
very neat hole I can just put the plug
in now you just need to tap that plug in
the wall okay if you are good with your
tools you could just tap it into the
hammer like obviously you don't want to
smack the tile and then dented if you
can see my work there's no dents around
then hole you could also sometimes if
you've got a big screw you can just tap
on the screw and they can also get the
plug in another option is just to wrap
your hammer all right now you can put
your screw and you can just
[Music]
right there you go that is how you drill
in a tile wolf
