Paging Piglet or anyone with drilling knowledge

[Bflkgjropign]

Is there such a thing as diamond-tipped masonry drill bits for drilling sand lime bricks? I'm going to have to put up curtain rails soon & my walls are like reinforced concrete when it comes to drilling. Are there any other hints that might make the work easier? I have a decent DeWalt drill.

Thanks in advance!
-I might look on Youtube. I've only just discovered other diyers there.

I don't think so. There are special drills for porcelain tiles, but I think you have to keep them wet with a water jet to cool them.

An ordinary TCT bit is usual.

After you've started the hole (so the bit will not skid around) turn the hammer action on.

If you have much to do, a mains drill may be more effective, as more powerful and heavier. Mains drills are not expensive.

there are loads

used to be only wet drilling yet many now do wet and dry.
best to still wet as you go, hand held water sprayer bottle and spray every now and then as keeps the drill bit not burning out (keeping it cool) and the drill bit will last longer. google them
