3rd - 4th Century stone hilted Spatha
#11
Brennivs,

What drill bit did you use? Most decent tile shops should have some diamond bits in different sizes. These are circular bits with diamonds set around the edge. These will make pretty quick work of any hole needed. They also come with the resorvior to keep the drill bit wet (please tell me you had a P3 rated mask on when drilling the stone :wink: )They tend to be priced from about £12 up depending on the diameter.
I do wonder how they would of faired given the vibration through the marble. There is of course the arguement that they would have been experienced enough to know how to attach the stone in a way that does not allow it to move in relation to the the rest of the sword assembly thereby reducing the vibration.

Asking me to tile your bathroom is like asking Vermeer to creosote your shed ;-)
