Square hole

Post by DIY_Johnny »

Was scratching my noggin for cutting square holes in tiles until I found the UHM video on cutting holes. Wotrked a treat :thumbright: Looks neat around a socket / switch

Although I couldn't understand that if you mark the square on the tile and have it face down to the cutting wheel how can you line it up properly

I just drilled 4 pilot holes in each corner so at least I could see the blade spinning through the holes

Oh, are you suppose to use water when doing it. I was getting sprayed in the face constantly
:shock:

Found the PMF 180e far too slow. Cermaic Jigsaw blade was ok but no as fast at the wheel cutter

I just use my angle grinder with a diamond edged stone cutting blade in to cut tiles in this situation. Ok its dust but better than getting soaked and you can see exactly where you are cutting.

Take the guard of the wet cutter.......and then cut from behind it.........so the spray goes away from you :thumbright:
