So you need to cut a hole in a ceramic, porcelain or even marble tile, In this video I will show you how to drill a hole any size you need without having to buy a countless number of Diamond core bits, or drill bits. Using a combination of a core bit, a milling bit and an angle grinder with a dry cutting diamond blade, you can cut any size hole in a tile exactly the size you need.

Thank you Sal for being this great professional and sharing your experience!!!
Thanks so much!!! Housewife here with no skills and after watching your video I got the right tool and now have a hole for my showerhead!
Glad I could help!
It is so nice to see someone sharing their knowledge with others! This is what it means to be a member of the human race! Good job!
Thanks for watching my video.
6:00 is when first hole is cut
That grinder cut is what i needed. Thanks so much. Youre a godsend
Thank you for sharing I'm glad to know that the cheap ones work well.
This is so awesome - it allows someone without experience, like me, to have the confidence to do a tiling project! I’m on my second project, thanks to you, and planning the third. Many, many thanks Sal!!!
Thanks, glad it helped
Must have been a good video because I just watched you make holes in tile for half an hour.
I have a video of me popping bubble wrap if you’re interested
Thanks for showing all the different methods. Nice job Sal.
You do a great job of explaining in a simple way of how to think though things, you are obviously a pro. Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us DIYers. It is very very much appreciated. God bless you!!
My tiling skills are becoming over the top..thanks to you Sal..Kelly from Arizona
Glad to hear it Kelly
If you benefit from great people taking the time to make such great and helpful tutorial vids like this, watch all the ads so that they make a little ad money. It's a great way to say TY.
TY Sal. Great job! 👍
Woow, great idea for cutting small holes! I watched many ideas on CZcams but only you saw that small holes can also be cut with an angle grinder with a standard disc size! Thanks a lot!
That was super helpful. Thank you!
An experienced guy, very nice. I did not dare to do this before watching the video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching my video.
I had never even seen or heard of that attachment for the angle grinder.
Thanks a lot, thumbs up.
now you have amzn.to/3og90AW
Great video, straightforward and to the point, no film flam just good advice 🤝
Really good video Sal - you make it look easy, I just bought some diamond drill bits and will be trying to cut a couple of holes in a ceramic tile to go round a mixer tap fitting shortly. Thanks for the very helpful video.
Glad to help
That was a super helpful video. Thanks for sharing all these tips!

Sal.... you are an awesome man! We need more people like you in the world! Some of us can't afford expensive tile Setters and you have made it possible for us to do our own work and for that I'm grateful. I will be getting some drill bits from you on Amazon to help support your work and I thank you so much! Love from South Carolina

Investing at least $10k for tile installer as my next career to support my family during this never ending pandemic...
I wish Sal lived next door to me. He is a pro and excellent at explaining the details. I hope one day I can buy him a beer. My bathroom project is going great because I was educated buy Sal’s videos. What a hard working man.

Sal! Cool 😎 trick...
I love when I watch a video of yours to see if there's a better way, and I watch you do it exactly the same way I do, same drill, same bits, same sponge 😂 😂 😂
Sometimes I like the way I do things, but I just do it your way, anyways. Cause there's nothing you don't do to exact spec. Makes life easier.
Thanks Mr. Sal
Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much !!!!!!! i was doing it straigt on and keep slipping , now i know do it on a angel, or use a stincel
Great video sir.
Thanks so much..
This is better that watching a cooking show 😀. Thank you for the time you take to make these videos: I am a DYIer - your videos have helped me gain the confidence to do many things myself: Or at least try. (With success.) Most of all to recognize - right from wrong.
☕️ have a great weekend.
Thanks, that is why I make these videos, to help people get it done the right way.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God bless.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Sir, for your information, you saved me!
Glad to help
Thanks for your knowledge..
Welcome!
That 45 at the square hole was genius. I never thought about that.
😊👍
Great video
thanks.for this!!!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks
I had a guy that could cut a square hole with a grinder and knip it round perfectly. I was a carpenter and learned how to lay tile from him. He was a master at terrazzo too. God rest his soul. 😭
Lovely enjoyed watching video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you
You're welcome
Pity I didn't see this two weeks ago, I managed but it could have been a bit easier. Oh well it will be of great help shortly!!!!!!
hello from italy,good job in this video sal :)
👍😊
Very well
wow thanks!
No problem!
Than you.
will that shaping tool work on granite? I have a new sink faucet and the new sleeve for the sprayer needs 1 and an eighth hole and the existing hole is onely 1 inch.
Best point is a guide and a dam for wet guarded cut
great video anyway
Unplug your grinder when changing cutters .dust mask when cutting love your work
Lots of great tips - thanks for all you do for the community! Any special tips for porcelain? Recently had to drill some very hard porcelain and it destroyed a fairly good quality hole saw bit after 6 holes.
are you using speed 1 or 2 on the drill?
Great job, I need to cut 2 holes for my shower and mix valve.
Thanks, glad it helped
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Nice one Sir
😊👍
Good tips for me a diyers. Tks u sir. make my life easy, haha.
Great video....what about porcelain tiles. Do you just need better quality bits or other kind special ones or the method doesn't work.
awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@SalDiBlasi a lot of slow options and crap techniques when looking up drilling into porcelain on internet, even when I asked drill experts in the shop they were giving me really bad methods. very clear and detailed video sir!
👍
perfect demo but I imagine the larger the bit, the harder it is to consistently demonstrate, do you have a video for 3 inch tile circular wet saw?
Hey, nice video and good tips! That curved cut with the snap cutter was impressive! What is the shaping tool called that you use in the grinder please?
Link in the description, but here they are again
Diamond Finger/Milling bit amzn.to/2xj6Vv8 www.tiletools.com/product/mon...
where in the video is the curved cut with the snap cutter?
Heck of a lot more control for the ones that are for the grinder. Unless i am forced, i will never use a drill to do these holes
So did you close dibsmart?
fantastic video one thing though i wanted to know is how to do this for something like a kitchen sink. I have a marble countertop and its a big slab. I was told that i should drill a hole and use a jigsaw with a stone blade but i'll be honest im nervous as from what my manufactuers told me they shattered my original one while leveling it so if i use a jigsaw is there a chance my countertop will shatter? is there a better way?
Did you manage to do it?
@@DataScientist268 nope i have more to do
Great Tips...I can tell you are a Trades/Journeyman by looking at your hands...
😊👍
Now the Milwaukee m12 fuel 3 inch cut off would be perfect for those little holes
So, you don't need the expensive tile-stone hole saw bits?
The ones intended for wood and metal (cheap) will work fine?
No, you need diamond coated hole saws, wood and metal tools will not work at all.
Sal...I love your videos. Who the f**k are these 21 people who would say anything negative????? This wisdom is from the ages. Thank you sir for all you do to educate.
Probably people that just love to troll and be negative about everything.
I need to cut an opening for access to replace a shower valve. Can you use an oscillating tool with diamond blade? Or should I not waste my time with that and just use an angle grinder? Or is there a better tool?
😍👍👍👍
Lot harder to control hole saw on heavly glazed tile i use the angel approch , But i remove bit of glaze first with mini grinder ,to give hole saw little bit onto tile
When shaping with the grinder bit will it chip the tile ?
Depends on the tile.
Sal, if you don’t mind sharing. In your opinion, what company makes the best diamond hole saws? Rubi?
And, I do tile work about 3x a month. I’ve been primarily using the Milwaukee diamond hole saws at Home Depot in the past and they seem to only last through one job and wear out very quickly and the hole takes forever to drill through, even with the use of constant water and breaks. I’m looking for something fairly inexpensive but will last for at least several jobs. The Rubi kits look great but are out of my budget. Do you recommend any particular brand? Again, if you don’t mind sharing it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sal!
-Evan, from Boston
The rubi work really well, fast and they last long enough, however they are very expensive, I have also had some good luck with Diamond Sure, amzn.to/34OMt4P but they are not cheap either. these are cheap, and do an ok job, amzn.to/34O5qVy
Do the hole saws work with ceramic tile already installed?
yes
I’m a plumber just putting in some shower trim for a shower, I need a hole a tiny bit bigger and I’m obviously not equipped with tile cutting tools or too much experience on it. Is there any way I can get a 1” hole just a tiny bit bigger?
Look very soft and easy but it may be not in the case for porcelain tile which is more hard and thick
That was a porcelain tile.
Great video!
But can you give advice on putting a 1 1/4" hole in ceramic tile that is already on the wall?...trying to get the cut started with a hole saw bit has prove to be very difficult--the damn thing runs all over the place & scratches up the tile--can you offer some methods and advice? Thanx Sal
amzn.to/3ZpR7SR
Where can i buy that grinder bit at 15:50 for cutting round shape on at the edge?
amzn.to/3KGQoXj
I wish i would have found you before I tiled my floor. Glad I didn't before doing the shower. Thanks so much for all you do bud
what do you call that shaping tool?
There should be a link in the description
Thank you teacher. God bless you
Thank you too
