A little help please??

[Nick Briggs]

Hello every one, got a slight issue and hope someone can put me in the rite direction... I've recently had my conservatory tiled with porcelain tiles and have recessed floor lights.. My tiler cut the holes at 90mm diameter as instructed by my electrical wholesaler. Only when it come to fitting my lights they are 93mm diameter. Is there a tool to open the holes up slightly without damaging them??

Here's a tip. I've done this for years. Even learnt @3_fall.

Cut MDF using the size of the core drill you want. Then use that as a guide over the hole, it'll stop you going off.

If you hadn't already fixed the tile I'd tell you about the sponge and foot method for keeping the core cool but it wouldn't be of use to you now.

Yes there is,
It fits to an angle grinder and is a carborundum cylinder, designed specifically for that task!
Can't remember what it's called and mine is at work so I can't even put an image up, but see what I can dig up.

Still struggling to find the bit I have, but u can get router bits that will do the same thing and look similar to what I have.

ATS do a 100m bit, for around a tenner, you (or your tiler) could just redrill the holes..the trim around the light fitting should cover the extra 7mm
