can disconnect that hose and use its hole for your drinking
water faucet.

Make an indentation with the center punch by tapping gently with
the hammer on the ceramic/porcelain where the hole will be drilled.
3.
Use the 1/2” carbide tipped masonry drill bit to grind the
porcelain down to the metal so that you won’t damage the
porcelain when drilling.

a hole through the metal sink. Make sure you don’t let the drill bit
“grab” the porcelain.
