Will this work for drilling holes in ceramic flower pots?

Yes, my wife used it to drill some holes in a ceramic pot she wanted to put some plants in. Just be careful and let the drill bit do the work, do not press hard or you can break the ceramic pot. We use a soapy water solution that we pour where we plan to drill to reduce friction and heat. Good luck!

I used it for drilling holes in wine bottles, but I would see no reason why it wouldn't be able to do the trick on glazed or unglazed flower pots. Just keep a minimal but even pressure on the drill bit as you go. Let the bit do the work, and lighted up even more as it gets close to breaking through.

worked very well--if you go slow and use lots of water--on glass bricks. ceramic is basically glass fired onto a clay substrate. I have never tried it but I do not see a problem having used the drills to go through ceramic tiles. The only glass produce which would cause a problem would be 'tempered glass'. Once glass is tempered it is doubtful that the whole piece would not shatter--that is what it is designed to do. please tell me how the project went. dantoad@hotmail.com thank you, dan

Yes, it will work for ceramic flower pots. Use a lot of water to keep the bit cool. Also, do not use alot of pressure when drilling a hole, this will chip or even break the pot.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I have used it only to drill holes in glass bottles and it works very well for that.

Yes I do think it would work well It will take a steady hand. Go slow and keep it wet

More likely than not. The slits are fairly small and I used mine for hydroponics with no issue but we use small pellets. With that. But most pieces of potting soils are good size so that is why I think it would work. Best of luck!

Yes- not good for heavy ceramic pots but good for smaller ceramic or plastic pots. Put heavy pots of floor

This is appropriate for use for setting bowls, fixtures, faucets, sink frames and strainers and I don't think it would be appropriate for this use. It depends on how big the gap is and whether there is anything solid behind the ceramic tiles to keep it from falling through the hole. It would be hard to make a smooth surface with it since you can't push it to take the ridges out of it. The container says "it is specifically designed to make a waterproof seal between any two 'rigid' surfaces". It also says, "Do not use on marble, granite, limestone or any other dimensional stone". I guess you'd have to say whether you'd call your area two 'rigid' surfaces. Sorry I can't be more specific There is also available a Oatey Stain-Free Plumber's Putty to be used on the stones mentioned above.

I would not use this on ceramic as this is for wood products. I would suggest going to a hardware store and explain what you are doing. I know there is a stone and tile sealer out there, but I don't think this is it. hope this helps. steve

yes. the plate width is very adjustable, it will grind fom very course to flower.

Yes, it will fit in a drill. I used it in my drill press also. In drilling a hole in glass I kept putting a little water on the area as it was cutting and used a slower rotating speed. I also don't use much pressure.

should work, I think. Depends also on how many holes you want to make. It's not that strong. Remember to ware protect glass.

No, they don't have holes, unfortunately! I find that so few of these ceramic pots do... I wish they would come pre-drilled.

It works very well on ceramic tile. I would guess, though haven't tried, it would work on glass. You might try a glass bit (the "V" shaped ones, which I have used with success. When using the hold bits, such as this, be sure to start the drill at an angle and use plenty of water to cool the bit and the material.

It will work on thin metal as in jewelry making. Not sure the thickness of the metal blanks you want to drill. DBAR Supply

Yes they wil.l I would recommend using a lubricant while drilling and a low speed setting.The small taps will break if you force slot of pressure.

Hi, my husband says if it fits in the hole attachment, he doesn't see why it would not work. He has not tried to use other brand attachments though. Maybe call and ask for sure at a home improvement store.

I am not 100 % sure that you could. I am not familiar with any type of hole drilling done with this. I would guess a hammer drill would be more along the lines of something you would use.

Hi, Chris. You will have to use a drill-bit especially for glass tiles. Ask ur Home Depot rep to give u a hand picking it out. We drilled into porcelain and it looks awesome.

Depends how thick it is or how deep you want to drill. I would say shallow holes yes but anything deeper than a half inch no.

Yes, it will and might even fit a Standard Drill with a 1/4 " chuck. This makes easy work of bulb planting!
