Default Cutting faceplates and tiles


"Antony Gelberg" wrote in message
...
I have a couple of twin backboxes with single FCUs with flush, press-on
metal faceplates. It would have been too much to ask for Crabtree to make
the faceplates narrow enough to fit them both on, so I need to cut (or
grind or sand?) a few mm off the edges.

The builders left my kitchen without properly-cut holes in the tiling to
fit the mains sockets. Again, I need to cut a few mm off the tiles.

I'm not sure that I have any tools to deal with either situation. Will a
Dremel perform both tasks? If not, what's best? (If not one tool, the


carbide cutter in dremel will sort the tiles
