Can this technique be used effectively for a finished opening, i.e. one that won't be covered by an escutcheon plate? I want to insert a decorative two-inch tile inside a square hole in a six-inch porcelain tile and am hoping to use this method to accomplish that.
worked great thanks-dont worry about the assholes and their negative comments,most of them would'nt say a dam thing to your face( like closet internet racist)-good vid helped me out
I've got to cut two rectangular holes in a 25cmx40cm tile, and a cut out at the end, not looking forward to it but this looks like a method that will work, much safer than an angle grinder as the cutter is fixed and you can use both hands on the tile. Really not looking forward to woking out if i'm in the rate place or not lol
You can buy tools that fit in drills that allow you to drill the hole then track side ways as a cutter, this is the dumbest and most dangerous thing I have seen in a long time. Anyone watching this ... DONT DO IT THIS WAY.
This method is used by thousands of people with no problems.
The diamond coated tile blades are not dangerous like a circular saw blade!
I'd love to see a video of you using a drill to make a hole like this in tough porcelain, when you have uploaded the video let me know and I'll watch it ;-)
@ultimatehandyman Anyone who uses a machine to do a job it was not designed to do, and remove safety guards is a complete moron... you Sir are a moron.
It is a tile cutter! It is designed to cut tiles ;-)
The thing you call a safety guard is actually a splash guard.
Get your facts right and stop spouting the crap!
You can always tell when someone has made a complete ass of themselves as they start name calling, or is it idiotic people that name call, I can't remember which it is now!
thanks for the help, I did a powerpoint cut just like the video and it worked awesome. Another prob im having is that when i make a cut along the entire length of my glazed tile, the tile chips right at the end of my cut. any methods to stop this?
Some tiles do chip at the end. You can often stop this by cutting in from both ends, so cut about 1-2 inches in from the other side first. You can often do this by simply turning the tile over.
You did a good job,,but it wouuld have been even better if you placed the camera angle from the front ,because you hand was in the way most of the time..

It depends really on the tile cutter. Cutting a 2 inch square would be extremely difficult with a large blade cutter!
Because of the size of the blade it is difficult doing such a small cut.

Just take your time with it and ensure you wear safety glasses.
I know a tiler that cuts mosaic tiles on a cutter like this!

Thanks for letting me know the outcome ;-)
The water goes everywhere without the splash guard in place!

why dont you just use a grinder??? it would be a lot safer.. you can see me do this on my channel

It would not be safer at all, plus you get dust with a grinder!

@ultimatehandyman the tile can grab and fling out of your hands, you can cut it outside

must you always cut from the back of the tile? if you cut from the show side, could it chip or somthing?
deegz01 1 year ago
@deegz01
No, you should be able to cut it from the front!
ultimatehandyman 1 year ago
what if the tile is smaller and the hole is close to the edge?
deegz01 1 year ago
@deegz01
In most cases it will be fine, just let the machine do the work and don't press on.
If it is really close to the edge there is every chance the the socket will cover the tile anyway!

im guessing this method would be great for powerpoint holes?

Yes, that is correct ;-)

Yes, sorry about that.
I realised when I came to edit, that it would of been better with the camera at the front.
You are welcome btw ;-)
