A friend is looking at removing tile from 2 walls of bathroom
from door to about the bathtub. Each tile section is about
4' high, The tile is cemented to a cement and wire backing.

Rather than smashing the tile and wall to pieces we
were wondering if anyone has ever used a circular saw to cut
through a tile on mud wall and what type of blade would be
used.

Following a crout line, with the depth of the saw set to
the approximate thickness of the tlle and backing material
(add a healthy fudge factor to avoid hitting any studs which
will be marked in advance). Is it possible to cut out larger
sections at one time ?? Has anyone ever tried this ???

(Definitely eye protection would be used and dust masks worn
plus heat registers and bathtubs will be covered.)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and recommendations !!!
