    Vitreous China Cistern
    Hello,
    I want to know How to drill a hole on a Cistern that is made of Vistreous China without Cracking or chipping on its surface and what type of drill would I need to use, i.e wood or masonary.
    The reason for drilling such a hole, is to convert right hand flusher to a left hand one.

    Thank you.
