1st Square Hole

[jaydebruyne]

Thought I'd share my 1st square hole I did in this ceramic tile.. I'm rather pleased it didn't crack on me.

Used a 16mm 365 diamond bit in each if the corners and then a carbide bladed jigsaw to cut out the waste tile.

Lastly filed down the excess.

It ain't perfect but the accessory would cover it up anyway

Tomorrow's task? Using my new angle grinder and diamond blade

Let's see what damage I can do with that!! Haha

Work of art mate........well done. Angle grinder is great, would have done that with no hassle.

Cheers Pater I'm going to try the grinder tomorrow can't wait!

Looks like the blade has strayed a bit. How did you brace the tile to stop it chattering against the jigsaw?

The file strayed :/ live and learn!! Will aim for a neater cut tomorrow..

I used rubber tipped clamps to hold the tile on my workbench to secure the tile in place. I need to get a rubber mat to sit the tile on really so it takes the vibrations but I didn't have one so laid it naked on the wooden slat..

you could of also nibbled it out with some pinchers mate but grinder is also a good quick way

 

[Mr Tiler]

another tip also is to try and get these to fall on a grout joint you cant always but most the time it doesn't compromise the set out

I was just practising though in case the situation arose that I'd need to do it.
