The best method I've come across is 1. mark the precise center of the hole you'd like to drill. 2. take a hardened nail, or a nail set with a 1/32" or less head, and tap it gently with a hammer to just break the surface glaze of the tile. 3. the small break in the glaze will allow you to slowly (no percussion) use a quality carbide masonry bit to make the hole. The bit has a tendenct to "walk away, and off of" your mark without using step 2. hopefully you are not partially on a grout line with your target hole. Good luck!

How do you cut or drill through a fixed wall mirror to mount a light fixture?
i think you should drill through the wall slowly The question was about drilling an hole in a mirror. I think the correct way to do this is to mark out where the hole is required, get some putty and form a cupped mound below, fill with varsol or white spirit, and drill the hole slowly with a special glass drill bit. You must keep the bit lubricated with the liquid to dissipate heat and prevent the mirror from cracking.
