I'm a Marcrist PG850 man, but most folk on here have first hand experience of the 365 cutters and they seem to come out on top

Firm believer of you pay for what you get

Have tried diamond grit holesaws before, Lasted a few jobs

Armeg PTC are what we use now, 3 years down the line and there still like new, Cut porcelain daily.

Buy cheap buy twice

Try the Bathroom Fitters Kit:

Selection of seven cores in five popular sizes.

Priced at £49.99 for the kit its superb value for money.

have a look at the website: Drilling porcelain tiles with diamond tile drill bit granite holesaws

Also there are many other size packs (37 sizes) so if you need a special size hole then everything is catered for.

Example:

Perhaps you have a mono-block or tap to install. So in that case 35mm is the right size.

In short we have every size drill bit but that multipack above gets you out of all sorts of trouble.

For example if you have a fischer fixing kit for a sink and perhaps you need a 10mm drill or a 12mm drill or a 14mm then use the 16mm drill supplied in the kit to take a plug out of the tile bigger than the hole size you need.

Then just use a nomal masonary drill to cut the actual hole behind the tile.

Once you fit your appliance over the hole then nobody will know. Useful for things like sinks or loo pans.

Lots of projects on the website to follow too (section 4)

Stocked by retailers like Corgi-Direct plumbing and other retailers.

And it comes with the guide plate to stop drills slipping on ANY tile wet or dry

Each kit from 6mm to 65mm comes with a guide plate to stop slipping on tiles

sir ramic, I need to get a hole cutting set but i do have a limited budget, this £49.99 set you have recommended, will they last more than a few jobs like sim hopper says? have you used them yourself? I notice they sponser this site? wink wink...

No one can really say how long they will last as we dont know what you are drilling into. I can certainly say that as long as you use a wet sponge to cool and clean the drill bits as shown in the videos on the website for 365 drills they will last a lot longer that you will expect.
I have been using 365 Drills for quite a while now and have no reason to change.

Just because they are a site sponsor it doesnt mean i will "big" them up, I say they are good because they are !
