Thank you for such great tips, will be doing this in a few weeks. This will truly make a difference.
Please be sure to tell ALL of your viewers how REALLY IMPORTANT ear and breathing protection is when dealing with loud tools and fine tile dust. Once you loose your hearing or damage your lungs.... game over. I am sure you “normally do use these things... but take the time to mention the importance on any job. These kids today are far too impressionable.
I had sacrificed two tiles this evening trying to use an angle grinder to cut around a toilet flange. I saw your demonstration and got it first try. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
This worked perfectly. I am a 59 yr old female and never used an angle grinder. I bought an angle grinder and a diamond blade, followed your video and it worked perfectly, THANKS!
Thank you very very very much!!!! I followed the same procedural cuts you made after 2 unsuccessful tries before viewing this one. Yes, and both attempts it cracked, so your cuts provided expansion relief perfectly. I also used a water bath from a light trickle from a garden hose to keep both blade and tile cool.....Light, light passes....and a lot of patience.....
Perfect tip!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the comment and I'm happy to hear that you have the confidence to do this!!
AMAZING! I would not have believed that was possible without seeing it for myself. You did a fantastic job and have given me inspiration to finish my bathroom reno. Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like a good plan John! I appreciate your comment and happy to help.
Thanks ManVLife, I appreciate your feed back!
That was incredibly useful to know and watch you do it. The rhythm, speed, angle of blade, number of times, light pressure, etc can only be understood with a demo. You handled that angle grinder cut like an experienced pro! Thanks a lot for your video!!
Thanks so much for this. I appreciate the clear instructions and demonstration. You're a bit of an artist with that angle grinder!
I've been trying to cut around a sump pump basin for a week! You're a life saver! Thank you for this!
I used this video as a guide earlier this year when I cut my first tile to fit around a closet flange. I followed his directions and my tile turned out perfect on the very first try. Since then I've used this same technique on two more closet flange tile cuts and they too have all come out exact using this video.
enforcer686, thank you for your comment and I'm glad I could help!!
I'm in the process of installing floor and wall tile in my bathroom, and I will be making this cut literally in just minutes. This video couldn't be more concise and informative. Thanks for sharing it!
Holy cow. I do guitar restoration for a living and really appreciate good tools and straight forward instruction. I have never laid tile, but you just gave me the nerve to try it. I thought I was going to have to spend a lot more for a tool to do this job. Thank you, from a DIY gal.
Thanks I appreciate the comment! Glad I could help.
Thanks for sharing your skill. Life just got easier!
Great tip, thanks for posting. Never thought to do it this way....
I know people post "wear a particle mask" But if you value your lungs you really should... You see all those COPD commercials on TV? It's no joke. I'm an X-ray tech, and you should see all the construction workers that walk through my door with serious lung problems.
Excellent video and explanation, thanks for putting it together. I have to enlarge the opening in previously installed floor tile to retrofit a flange extender, and was unsure how to make tight radius cuts with the 4 inch blade. I didn't think of holding the grinder on an angle until I watched you do it. Sure glad I found your video as I'll be doing the job tomorrow AM. Thanks again.
pwsigmund, I am glad this video helped and thank you for the comment! I really do appreciate it!
Excelente trabajo. Gracias por compartirlo. Algo mas que aprendo. rgds, desde Barranquilla, Colombia
Gotta thank you for your very practical videos. Used this method to cut hole for toilet and worked perfectly. Also, cut hole for heater vent and worked fine. Big this was take your time. Also practiced on a few scraps to get the right touch.
Thats awesome Eric!!
Well done! Many thanks! You're REALLY fast!
Thank you so much for your comment! I really am happy to help!
Fantastic demo!
nice job and nice video! thanks for sharing!
Wow!! Just love that attention to safety.
Thanks for providing a great tip.
Thanks so much. I cut around my toilet flange with no trouble! Two thumbs up!
Ive been using too steep an angle for my initial cut! way easier now. Great vid.
That was some confident cutting.
EXCELLENT INFO!!! Thank you!!! I had always cut the tile in half to make this impossible cut on my wet saw and it took me forever to notch the half circles out. NOT ANYMORE))))
However I will have a helper with me to use a spray bottle to avoid inhaling that dangerous dust. Thanx again!!!!
Wow! Thank you! You restored my self-confidence- I think I can do that!
Wow! That's all I can say. I've been doing ceramics for some time now, and I can do anything that the customer asks, but NEVER did I think to use the grinder under that angle. Thanks!
Great video, thanks for posting
awesome!! thanks-. love the video and how you describe it in detail
Great video...thanks for posting
Great video, very helpful. I'm very glad I saw this before I started!
Thanks for the tip! I was always curious how the pros make a nice circle around the toilet.
Great tutorial, thanks mate.
Thanks for sharing. I followed your instructions with full success.
Steve G Thanks Steve! Glad it worked.
I'm learning new things everyday, thanks!
I wish I had seen this a while ago. Genius!
Thanks Simon, I really am glad you liked it and I hope it helped! Thanks for your comment, means a lot to me!!
That was very clean. Gives me the confidence to try it.
Wow! That was terrific! You just saved me a heck of a lot of time and money with your video, and I thank you!
Big help, thank you!
kind of cool how you cut the waste piece through the center. I've been using an angle grinder for years and always manage to get the circles out in one piece. In fact, I have a set of coasters made from holes I cut out for shower drains : ) They make nice conversation pieces. One thing I would add for the DIY folks out there, be careful as to what surface your using underneath while cutting. The grinder wheel can grab it and give you a good jolt and cuase either you are the tile damage. I find that Dura-Rock (concrete board) is soft enough to take the wheel in without the jolt. And with porcelain...take it slow. I've cut out perfect circles before then have them snap in half when they cool down. I'll be a happy dude when the porcelain fad is over..if it ever comes. Porcelain was made for toilets...not the floor. Everybody wants it until they slip and break a hip on it.
+TheSonicSolution good points!
Fantastic Demo! There is really no need to make lots of little jageddy edges, I keep telling my guys this. Thanks.
good cut
Dude!!! Seriously... You ROCK!!! I broke like 5 tiles attempting different ways to cut a hole in my tile, your method worked perfectly!!!!
Thanks!!
Very nice. Thanks for the guidance.
Wow it took me two hours trying to make a cut like that for a toilett before this video thanks; ill try to master the grinder now..great job
Good stuff man, I'm gonna use this trick and impress the guys on my crew.
Excellent buddy. you are the Master
Great video 👍 thanks. Don't think I could do it as good do
Great. Thank you
Thank you. This helped me too. One suggestion from a fellow who has lost some of his hearing. It didn't appear that you had hearing protection. Please consider it. Lost hearing is gone forever.
Cutting a line in the center of the hole makes a big difference. Many wasted tiles before watching this video. Thank you!
+Sandra Sternberg you are welcome!
I use a DEWALT DWE4011 4-1/2-Inch Small Angle Grinder with One-Touch Guard and the specs are- 7.0-Amp AC/DC, 12,000 rpm motor. I have many of these tools listed on my site and there is a link to it just below the video in the description. Hope this helps!
I did it just like you showed it. Works excellent! Advice for the DIY peole like me. Prepare for LOTS of dust. Have a helper stand there with a shop vac hose held near the tile while you cut, wear a mask, ear protection, and of course don't forget the goggles.
Well explained. Its a shame standards are falling. You're good and it shows in How you handled the cutter.
niptodstan I appreciate that!
outstanding! worked like a charm. Thank you
Glad to help.
Nice vid, nice work .. thanks !
Good Job, man!
Perfection!
good idea. never tried this before well done
Excellent your work.
thank you!!
Good job. Simple and helpful
Thanks!
Beautiful cut!
thank you!
nice angle grinder handling
Good job.
Excellent technique!
Thank You!!
Great tip! Just done this, took my time (1hour with set up?) and it came out sweet. This is my first tiling job so no previous skills. I guess if you are experienced you can use a grinder without the guard but I'm a newbie so I used one and it didn't seem to affect my view or cutting technique. Thank you!
Good idea! Thanks for the comment.
that looks like a pretty dam good cut to me. always wondered how they did it. thanks for posting. thumbs up rating
Hey man - you breathin' lotsa bad bad dust! Be careful. We want you around for more good vids :)
Great video, compared to some others I've seen today. Yours was the fastest & best. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Bernard!
Nice work :)
sir, you have skills. thank you for sharing. like other comments, do value your health, you have much to share with us, keep healthy!
Yes i hear you!
Thank you for showing a good and easy way to do that. Most contractors wont take the time! I think it took less than making a bunch of squared cuts!!!
Nice!!! cut. Always, I did that the same process. Some time I used my wet saw for inside cut to circle and my grinder around cut to circle. :-)
You are an artist.
Thank you!
Another great video ... you rock!
Thanks.
Perfect video, answered more questions than I thought I had.
Thank you!
Your welcome! You can do it!
I can tell you are a true craftsman, but PLEASE, young fella....hearing and breathing protection. Youth is certainly wasted on the young. Once the ringing starts, it doesn't stop.....EVER!
+Danny McnamaraThanks Danny. I use ear protection, eye protection and breathing protection. I was filming and decided not to where ear protection.
As a tile setter my self, this is one of the easiest ways i have seen it done on you tube. Most other videos make it look awkward and harder then what it needs to be. But my i think is still a little more simple.
thank you !
He's done that a few times over the years - well done - nice job.
Thank you!
Super work
Thanks I appreciate it
Thanks for the tip, I sincerely appreciate it. My tip to you “respiratory”. Tile dust goes in but never comes out, don’t want your lungs to look like the pan on a tile saw.
lennonpolo, Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you like it!! Check out my site, the link is in the description.
Great video! Too bad I didn't see it a few days ago! I spent about 2 hours scoring the circle with a carbide scoring tip, drilling a small hole, attempting a diamond roto-zip (did about 2" in 10 minutes before quitting), and finally breaking the tile in half so I could nip the entire thing with carbide nippers! Try that with porcelain tile! I may be stupid but I'm persistent. And the sickest thing is I had the grinder and a diamond blade in the toolbox 10 ft. away. Thanks for making me a little smarter.
I think we have all been there!
Good stuff!!!!!!
Thank you I appreciate that
a realy master job
Nizi Nizamudin Thank you!
21 years when I did tile for a living I would mark the top and back and could have cut that full circle lol. I know it's not necessary but I loved the challenge.
Nice!
brilliant no nonsense video👍
I appreciate that!
im gonna go out on a limb here and say this guy has done this once or twice
thanks... ran in to this issue... on another hole type. Better than the last video I watched where the guy cut the tiles around the toilet.
You made that look a lot easier than I'm sure it is!
Practice!
