Cordless drill - plunge cutting method

A continuous flow of water is not required for this hole saw when cutting hard tile, stone or glass. A starter bit is not required for this method.

 

Before starting the cut, dip the hole saw into water.

At FULL RPM start the cut at an angle of between 5°to 30°. This will create a semi-circular groove in the tile surface.

Once the groove has been established, raise the hole saw to 90°and apply light pressure.

Gently oscillate the power tool as the hole is being cut continuing to apply light pressure only.  For optimal performance, dip the hole saw into water every 5 seconds and before starting a new cut.
