The masking tape will prevent the drill bit from drifting or walking off the desired hole location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, using a pen or pencil mark the spot on the masking tape where you want to drill the hole in the ceramic tile.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Drilling Holes in Ceramic Tiles- Marking Location<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Using a center punch or awl, and hammer lightly tap the marked drill location to make a minor chip on the surface of the ceramic tile.
