Cutting in 140mm shower rough in box - any advice?

[Bill]

Have you ever tried it on thin tile Tom?

Not on 2400mm ones but certainly on the old Turkish 4mm 6X6's.....

I remember rotating s tile while it was in my ts 40 to score a circle prior to pie cutting it on tile saw with no guard . Not much chance of that nowadays

Rubi used to have rotating attachment for the TS range.... never used it mind.

Like 3_Falls suggestion for the ply template - thanks for the pinning the photo - will keep note of the various other responses.

I originally started with my laser to align the centre for all the shower outlets to the rough in box and has worked for the ceiling rain shower cutout when I laid the plasterboards, it’s all dead centre to the rough in box which is a start! Might just fork out the cost for the diamond hole saw cutter (will end up installing three of them in my house and maybe I can sell it on afterwards).

If your tile joint is dead centre, then just grind it out. No need to buy anything other than a decent blade, which will do the whole room.

I done the same cut out for the Grohe box, used a angle grinder. It wasn’t to bad to do. It was my first attempt as I’m not a tiler

How have things turned out John, all good?

 

[Jonathanb]

Yes all finished now, just the floor to do when I have the time. I’m back at work now so it’s a bit more difficult to get the time to finish things
It would of been a a lot harder to do without the help from this forum

You’ve done a cracking job John!
Fair play to you.

Don’t forget to keep coming back, we need to see the floor.

Because the finished bathroom doesn’t belong to the OP, this bathroom it’s from another thread.

This is how accurate a template can be.
