Cutting stoneware tile? What type of drill bit should I buy to cut into 4...
What type of drill bit should I buy to cut into 4 x 4 ceramic tile on the wall? Can I place the bit into a router? The hole is 10" x 10" and I inevitability it to be 10 1/2" x 10 1/2". There is 5/8" DW w/ metal studs behind it.
Answers: I tile every morning of my life, and hope you hold extra tile pieces. As one answer states a diag. Grinder and a diamond blade. I go through a couple a week, but for sure you can't pull a drizzling saw to the wall.
I'll assume not, but might you make the cuts on grout lines?
Also, I'm wondering in the region of even 5/8 drywall as a substrate for tile work?
You might also use a Dremel with a proper bit for the intensely corners, but with safekeeping the Di. Grinder will suffice, You probably can expect cutting into the dry wall as in good health.

just my two "sense"
I'm newly purchasing a FEIN Multi tool, that I'll use exclusively for installed tile cutting, especially grout.
You involve a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a diamond blade contained by it.
