tile cutting: large circles
In article ,
wrote: I'm tiling the toilet floor, only there's a soil pipe in the way! I saw these circular cutters that look like something from a gerbil's cage but they only go up to about 90mm and of course soil pipes are that little bit bigger. I thought cutting a hole and plonking it over the top would be prettier than cutting a chunk out of a tile, albeit that it will be hidden behind the toilet. Just wondered if anyone had seen a larger (say to 6 inch diameter) tile cutter? Are you actually cutting this hole in the middle of a tile? If not mark out the hole then cut radials with a wet cutter up to the mark and snap off the 'fingers'. Finish off with a ceramic file. -- *A person who smiles in the face of adversity probably has a scapegoat * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
