Cutting an nouns vent contained by tile floor? I would like to cut an air vent surrounded by a tile...
I would like to cut an air vent surrounded by a tile floor. Is there a circular saw blade to cut tile? Or do I need to verbs up the tile, cut it with a tile saw, and re-lay it?
Thanks for your help
You need a diamond blade grinder, that will cut through the tile. It will brand an unclean cut so make sure the vent overlaps. Masonry blade on a skill saw or a grinder. It'll variety some noise and a lot of dust, but it will cut the tile.
You can drop down through with a raining blade on a skill saw, but I think if it was mine.I would try and release it and lug it up to a Lowe's or Home depot mark it and have them saw it.purely remember to be a 1/4'' bigger on the hole...then I would glue it rear down with construction adhesive..much easier and holds resembling he**.all the best use a grinder, its the fastest, cleanest (cutwise), and easiest way to cut a hole within tile and you can use it to cut through the sub-floor in one cut...
Answers: Hi Steve,
For the smoothest cut you'd want to use a continuous rim diamond blade. A drizzly 4 3/8" circular saw would be best, but if you don't have access to one I wouldn't buy one for my 7 1/4". It's an odd size blade and not terribly versatile. You could purchase one of these http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/s... along with one of these http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/s... and be out beneath $50 (I'm always looking for a reason to buy a investigational tool :) ). Outline the area to be cut with a sharpie float, wear safety goggles, cut with the motor to the departed of the blade, as the dust is being thrown out the front have someone hold or rig up a shop vac hose at the source of the dust, and travel slow. Might be a good idea to relieve the corners beside a few holes by a tile drill bit. If the wood needs to be cut out use a jigsaw or sawzall. Good luck!!
You might try a roto-zip or dremel tool next to the correct bit.
