Hi all
I tried to drill a hole in a piece of bisque with a diamond head drill bit using a Dremel Drill. It broke
Should I try a regular power drill. I thought the dremel would be enough power. Should it be wet ?
Let me know
Me Kim

Just dry drill with a normal drill bit. A small one. Brock
My memory is so good, I can't remember the last time I forgot something . . .

go get a small masonry bit. bisque will ruin regular bits quickly. diamond needs to be wet but masonry bits work best. rosanna

try starting the small drill bit at an angle and ease it up to perpendiculer to the surface.
