score the cut with an angle grinder from the back side of the tile and trim with the nips.doing it this way can be fun also.

I agree. Porcelain would be a bear to cut by hand.

ROTO ZIP.
The tile cutting model R5-T is dirt cheap. The diamond bit is included and is worth about half the price of the saw *Canadian* 84cdn with a 40$ bit is not bad. Anyhow worth a look since it’s good for so many other projects.

I read through all …
I read through all the comments just to see if anyone else caught that. The big square did leave a whole bigger than the trim could cover. Has nothing to do with the hole cutting method, but makes the video look sloppy. I love to watch TV goobs make mistakes and not acknowledge it. Just watch Flip This House for about 3 minutes. LOL.

You mean the rod …
You mean the rod saw? The tool that’s in the hacksaw frame?

Could you write down the name of the material of the tool that you are using ,
thanks a lot, great video

Tim, This is an excellent inexpensive idea to cut the tile. Thanks for your time & I love u tim.

You may have seen it all, but you surely haven’t read it all. It really pays to *read* all the comments before you leave yours. Had you done that, you would have never typed what you did.

I think I’ve just seen it all….hope your not paid by the ft.

that’s what I’m …
that’s what I’m talking about. I have a hacksaw handy and want to do this right now, not when I think I can afford a Dremel. Which is why this video is so helpful versus some idiot’s ideas that doesn’t have a video, but think they need to come on here and put in their two cents worth. Thanks Tim this was a great quick and inexpensive idea.
December 30th, 2009 at 7:15 am
And what about all …
And what about all those thousands of homeowners that can’t afford the Dremel? But happen to have a hacksaw frame at their workbench? You need to realize that not everyone has the same tools. I could have done this video with my Dremel, or my expensive DeWalt wet saw. That wasn’t the point……

A Dremel with a …
A Dremel with a tile bit is about 10,000 times better than your hack-saw.

all tile cutting …
all tile cutting should be done with low speed, as high speed will over heat the tile and cause it to break

I have some small tile cutting jobs to do. I’m glad I don’t have to rent a big tile cutter.
Thanks! There is more than one way to skin a cat, not that I’d want to!

No. Wrong tool….. …
No. Wrong tool….. The best analogy I can offer at this moment would be like using a 7 1/4-inch circular saw to cut down a 24-inch diameter tree.

Thanks for your …
Thanks for your vids. Got a Question?
Have you tried using a High-speed Dremel tool for those cuts?
December 30th, 2009 at 7:15 am
Yes, if you don’t …
Yes, if you don’t own a circular saw or grinder as discussed in other comments about this video.

If the tile does not have a hole in it already, should you drill one then do this process?
