Suction cup drilling template for tiles and ceramics (ASWP)
Are you facing problems when drilling into smooth ceramic tiles, where the drill bit constantly slips, resulting in damaged surfaces and unsightly cracks? The Tile Drilling Template - Ceramic (SKU: ASWP) is an indispensable tool for every ceramicist, home craftsman and professional who wants to achieve perfectly precise and clean holes without damaging the material.
This innovative drilling template acts as a stable guide that firmly grips the smooth surface of the ceramic tile with a powerful vacuum suction cup. Forget about adhesive tape, erasable pencil marking and the risk of the drill bit slipping. With this template, every hole will be drilled exactly where you intended - quickly, safely and without stress. Its exceptional stability makes it one of the top accessories in the category of vices and guides for precision work.
Thanks to the possibility of connecting water cooling, you will significantly extend the life of your diamond drills and core saws, while preventing overheating of the ceramic and the formation of dust during work. Investing in this simple but extremely effective tool will save you time, money on buying new drills and, above all, costs due to cracked expensive tiles.
Key benefits of using a ceramic drilling template

Perfect precision without slipping: The powerful vacuum suction cup ensures that the template remains fixed to the tile while you work. The drill will no longer stray from its direction, preventing scratches on expensive tiles.
Integrated water cooling system: You can easily connect a water hose to the template (e.g. from a 2-liter hand sprayer or a bottle). The constant flow of water effectively cools the drill bit and the material, preventing the ceramic from cracking and drastically extending the service life of your tool.
Versatility for the most common diameters: The template includes pre-made pilot holes for the most popular drill bit diameters used in the installation of bathroom fixtures, shelves, holders and electrical wiring.
Clean working environment: Wet drilling with water cooling binds dust, which means significantly less dirt in the room and a healthier working environment without inhaling fine ceramic dust.
Easy to use: The tool is designed to be used by any home handyman without any problems, while still providing professional results that will meet even the most demanding standards.

Instructions for the correct use of the drilling template
To achieve the best results and maximum safety at work, follow these simple steps:

Surface preparation: Thoroughly clean and dry the surface of the tile where you will be drilling. Remove dust and grease to ensure maximum suction cup adhesion.
Installing the template: Place the template in the desired location so that the selected hole (e.g. Fi 8 mm) coincides with your drilling mark. Press the suction cup against the surface and activate the vacuum mechanism.
Cooling connection: If you are using wet drilling (highly recommended for diamond drill bits), attach a hose with water from a sprayer or bottle to the connection and establish a gentle flow of water.
Drilling: Insert the drill bit into the appropriate hole on the template. Start drilling at low speed to create the initial groove, then continue at a normal pace without applying excessive pressure.
Removal: After drilling is complete, turn off the water flow, release the vacuum suction cup, and clean and dry the template before storing.

Why choose ASWP drilling jig?
When tiling and finishing work in the bathroom or kitchen, precision is key. Even the smallest mistake can cause expensive ceramics to crack, which means extra work and unnecessary costs. The Suction Cup Tile Drilling Template (ASWP) solves this problem in an elegant and affordable way. With integrated water cooling, you not only protect the material, but also drastically extend the life of your drill bits, meaning that the purchase of this accessory will pay for itself on the first project.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the template on rough or embossed tiles?
The template uses a strong vacuum suction cup that works best on smooth, glossy or matte surfaces without pronounced texture. On extremely rough or heavily embossed tiles, the suction cup may not be able to create a full vacuum. In such cases, we recommend manually stabilizing the template or pre-smoothing the adhesion area if possible.
What water source do I need to cool the drill bit?
The cooling system is extremely flexible. You don't need complicated plumbing to supply water; a regular water bottle with a hose or a standard 2-liter hand-held pressurized sprayer is sufficient, which you can easily connect to the template.
Is this template also suitable for drilling into glass or granite?
Yes, you can successfully use the template to drill into glass, mirrors, granite and porcelain tiles, provided that the surface is smooth enough for the suction cup to grip and that you use appropriate drill bits for these materials (e.g. diamond core drill bits).

Instructions for using the product:
• Clean the surface of the tile thoroughly and remove dust, grease and other impurities.
• Place the template in the desired location and secure it firmly with the suction cup.
• Check that the suction cup holds well and that the template does not move during drilling.
• Select the appropriate hole diameter and compatible drill bit or crown.
• Drill slowly and with even pressure, according to the instructions for the drilling tool used.
• After drilling, carefully remove and clean the template.

Useful tips for work:
• Use the template for more precise hole positioning when drilling ceramics and tiles.
• Before starting, make sure the suction surface is clean and smooth.
• When drilling ceramics, use appropriate cooling if required by the crown or drill bit used.
• For fragile tiles, start at a lower speed and without excessive pressure.
• Before drilling, check that there are no electrical cables or pipes behind the tile.

Warnings:
• Wear safety glasses and dust respirator when working.
• Do not drill if the suction cup is not securely attached.
• Do not use a damaged or deformed template.
• Do not use impact mode when drilling unless the drill bit or core bit used is specifically designed for this purpose.
• Be aware of the possibility of tile breakage and flying particles.
• Use the template only with drilling accessories that are compatible with its holes and purpose.

Same summary

The tile drilling template – ceramic allows for more precise and safe drilling of holes in sensitive materials such as ceramic tiles. It is especially suitable for DIYers and occasional users who want to prevent drill bits from slipping and damaging the surface. More experienced users will appreciate the more reliable attachment, although for more demanding or very intensive work we may recommend a purpose-built, more stable tool. It is important that the surface on which the template is placed provides good grip, as stability is key to successful drilling without cracks.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is this template suitable for all drill bit sizes?

The template is designed to allow the use of the most common drill bit sizes for drilling ceramic tiles, but it is always recommended to check compatibility with the hole diameter before starting work.

How do I properly place the template on the tiles?

It is best to clean the tile surface thoroughly before use and make sure it is completely dry. Then, firmly place the template in the desired location, which ensures stability during drilling.

Can I use the template on other materials, such as glass?

Although the template is primarily designed for ceramics, it can also be used on other smooth surfaces where drilling accuracy is important. However, it is recommended to pay attention to possible differences in material hardness.

How do I prevent the drill bit from slipping out of the template while drilling?

For a safe result, we recommend drilling slowly at the beginning and constantly fixing the template on the surface. Using a suitable drill bit for ceramics further reduces the risk of slipping.

What to do if minor cracks occur in the tile during drilling?

In this case, stop drilling immediately, check the attachment of the template and the suitability of the drill bit. Using lower drilling speeds and gentler pressure on the drill bit often helps.
