bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Drill A Hole In A Tile Technique

There was a writeup on this awhile back on Bonsai Today. If I get a chance I'll see if I can find the issue number. You can drill more than one hole and have several seedlings planted to accelerate the process.

It is actually very easy to drill holes in tile with a masonry bit and a drill press. A little water on the surface of the tile to cool the bit helps. The bit will punch right through with very little effort. Cheap wall tile works best; anything in the scrap bin at Color Tile, for example.

If you use a standard bit, or don't have a press, it's very hard.
