The measuring and centering the marks to cut was great. Cutting the tile in half was not necessary, none the less I still learn from this video. Thumbs up either way knowledge is power 👍
Over the years, I have learned a lot from CZcams and always use the comments as a yardstick to gauge whether or not the person I'm watching is on the ball, or full of crap. I think there must be different ways of going about what you did here--either by cutting the tile in half, or by drilling a hole with a diamond bit, or some other method. I'm approaching my first floor tile project, and am rather nervous about it. While I'm sure your method may not be perfect, it mostly makes sense to this relatively experienced DIYer. I may need to adjust the technique to fit my (teeny, irregular) space, but this gives me one more tool in my belt. Please, keep on making great (and free, haters!) content, and don't let the mean turkeys in the peanut gallery get you down. You've had a part in knocking my confidence up a notch. I truly appreciate it.
His technique is decent, but coming from a professional time setter, he shouldn't have split the tile regardless of if it's going to be hidden, if I did that on my jobsite I'd be asked to redo it properly, def works for DIY or handyman but I wouldn't recommend this technique for any professional installs
Measure tile like he has done but then once you have a square draw corner to corner so you have a cross in the middle that gives you centre then use a correct diamond tip hole cutter job done
The idea was not to make circle hole in the middle of the tile. Image what would you do if instead of this little pipe, you had a pipe of central heating??? Then making only a hole in tile would not work. But the idea of splitting the tile, and then reassembling it was great.
"Almost invisible",,,but not really. Also not really waterproof. Better to but a diamond tipped hole saw, the right sized, or used a small, carbide drill bit to cut several, small holes around the perimeter of the hole and break out the circle.
That's a terrible way of doing it. Mark the hole exact centre by drawing corner-to-corner lines in the resultant square and then cut using a tile hole cutter. No need to snap the tile in two and have a broken tile!
smh! that cut tile will look awful, unless you apply some filler in crack and paint it with paint that matches tile, a hole saw would be better but they cost around 30 bucks, so this method may be better if you don't have a hole cutter
jurnagin Another way if you don’t have a holesaw bit is just drill a hole with the biggest bit you have.Then use a file to file it down to size.Also you can attach a round file in your drill or use a dremel to remove the rest of the material.
you never split a tile for a hole, this is really bad, especially with todays hole saw are so cheap to buy to make a perfect hole. this video should be banned on youtube. and the cut around the pipe was too rough , sadly this video had so much potential.
I’m confused why you held the tile up to mark the wall when you could have marked the time at the same time at very least. Hey I have an idea. Buy a 2” diamond hole saw. It’s like $25-$65 and if you’re doing work that is even half decent you better have a little coin to invest. It will speed your process up dramatically and give a FAR better result than this junk
really disappointing to find the video recommends cutting the tile in half , much much better to drill pilot hole in centre of pipe marks and then cut to size using correct size diamond tipped drill bit.....if you're going to do a job , do it well !
I liked the method for marking the center of where the hole goes, but than when he cut it in half instead of using a hole saw I thought this was a re-run of the Benny Hill show. The only thing missing was the Saxophone playing Yackety Axe and some chick with big boobs helping. Are hole saws banned in the U.K. cause they might drill a hole in somebody cause they banned guns?
All if his videos have mostly thumbs down. Check out the rest of the channels content.. wtf smh? How can you be so bad at something and have the balls to put it on youtube..
The video has nothing about its title!!! How to Cut Tiles! The whole idea of watching was to find out how to 'CUT', not how to 'MEASURE'. But why not show the cutting? Anyone can measure where a hole goes.
Crap video he could find the centre point score it and use a masonary hole saw and knock the drill off hammer action cuts a perfect hole in the tile no joints.
This is insanity. Who splits a tile just to cut around a pipe? Do this and your tile job will look terrible. Just use a diamond tile drill bit or a diamond blade on your angle grinder. Then use a metal file to smooth the edges if you want the hole to be perfect.
I love how everyone here just assumes the guy is an idiot instead of realizing this is just a demonstration for a case when the pipe is part of a network and you can't pull a tile on it.
this video shows how NOT TO cut a hole in the tile
Agree
Video called "how to cut a hole in tile." Never shows cutting of hole in the tile.
True
😂😂😂
The whole point was to not have to split the tile in half, made no sense
Give him a 'break', he was 'Half cut' at the time...
Thomas Sheppard 😹
🤔

one can only assume diamond tipped tile cutting hole saws did not exist when this video was made.
The measuring method was good. But I'll then use a tile drill bit
I agree totally !!!

Yeah I wasted 3:15 to see that this isn't what I'm going to do. The water is definitely going to get behind it
Measure tile like he has done but then once you have a square draw corner to corner so you have a cross in the middle that gives you centre then use a correct diamond tip hole cutter job done
I'd use a cardboard template to mark on the tile where to cut the hole. They have tile hole saws why cut in 2 pieces?
Do you know how long I've been trying to find this has been over 3 years trying to find a video like this God bless you
This is absolutely unacceptable .. I would fire the tile contractor immediately if he / she did this type of work.
What was used to cut the tile with?
I’m confused.Why did you need to cut the tile in half?
why did you cut the tile in 2 pieces?!! you had the hole, just drill it!
Hole cutter?
perfect for the trailer park
WOW! The amount of craftsmanship in this video is AMAZING! (Can you sense the sarcasm lollll)
this was made in 60s
Measuring part was useful but you didn't show cutting the hole as per the video title and why the bloody hell did you break the tile in half?
Damn, the Brits love to make How-to videos.
Nice
Thanks now I know how to cut a hole.
Why split in half after hours of taking measures???
You could do corner to corner of the square to find the centre of the square.
man this guy is way out his mind do we need this shit to cut a hole at his center hell no
I did same instaling wall tap and my wife doesn't happy when saw half tile facing her eyes 😂

thax
You don’t need to cut it
Why not use a hole cutter for pipe ? Far better finish.
why not use a hole saw ??
Old school!
What was the point to cut the tile in half?
why to cut the tiles in to 2 ???
Or just use a masonry hole saw, done.
What was that? Have you ever heard of tile drill bits?
any the method is good but after cutting the tile ahalf its not work better
I've done this before but I'm not a professional
This was made in the dark ages
u can install the tile complete
What?? I've never seen this before. OK I guess if a vanity or other fixture is hiding it.
Have you ever heard of hole saw
Take this off the internet...
गोलाई में टाइल्स कैसे कटेगा
you use black magic wow
Wow...really?
tks stencil rule now
I just take the measurement method then buy a ceramic hole saw 😁
We just cut a square on pipes but do not draw lines we do it just by eye trust. We do transfer the measures on the back to cut from the back
Ypu also gonna grout that cut? 🤣🤣
Everything was right until the point where the tile was cut in two...
ho ho ho he cut the tile in the half lol lol lol
No, he cut the hole in half
"Almost invisible",,,but not really. Also not really waterproof. Better to but a diamond tipped hole saw, the right sized, or used a small, carbide drill bit to cut several, small holes around the perimeter of the hole and break out the circle.
This is a joke, right?

It's clearly not in the center of the tile
fkn knob
@drygord he mean centre of the square you sausage
smh! that cut tile will look awful, unless you apply some filler in crack and paint it with paint that matches tile, a hole saw would be better but they cost around 30 bucks, so this method may be better if you don't have a hole cutter
jurnagin Another way if you don’t have a holesaw bit is just drill a hole with the biggest bit you have.Then use a file to file it down to size.Also you can attach a round file in your drill or use a dremel to remove the rest of the material.
Blessings, John 3:16 (NIV). Jesus loves you.
This was disappointing as it leaves a cut line right through the tile. I was expecting use of a hole saw for professional job.
How not to cut tiles around pipes....
WTF....

Showed measuring, then cut the tile in half, the the pipe hole magically appeared - absolutely NOT a ‘how to’ video
Are you serious?
Esa mierda no se hace
Guess he doesn't know how to use a ruler and bit
Slow way of doing this
I hope the tile cracks
How the Fuck this you cut the hole ?
haha
you never split a tile for a hole, this is really bad, especially with todays hole saw are so cheap to buy to make a perfect hole. this video should be banned on youtube. and the cut around the pipe was too rough , sadly this video had so much potential.

That’s cheating!
really disappointing to find the video recommends cutting the tile in half , much much better to drill pilot hole in centre of pipe marks and then cut to size using correct size diamond tipped drill bit.....if you're going to do a job , do it well !
Why in the name of Jesus, Joseph and Mary, didn't he just drill a neat hole? As opposed to halving the tile and having an ugly crack???
This is a joke right?
Or use correct technique
I liked the method for marking the center of where the hole goes, but than when he cut it in half instead of using a hole saw I thought this was a re-run of the Benny Hill show. The only thing missing was the Saxophone playing Yackety Axe and some chick with big boobs helping. Are hole saws banned in the U.K. cause they might drill a hole in somebody cause they banned guns?
No.....
Wow! Are you kidding me? Don't do this.

Mas calabaza para el internet .👎
Crap video he could find the centre point score it and use a masonary hole saw and knock the drill off hammer action cuts a perfect hole in the tile no joints.
Old way
What a waste of time. Who cuts tile in half???? Maybe 50 years ago.....
So stupid.. titles "how cut the hole".. not showing
A real tile guy would be finished and home having dinner while this dummy is still cutting the tile in half! 😹
No, just no.
It needs 2 thumbs DOWN!
A big disappointment. That’s a wrong application.
No good work
This is insanity. Who splits a tile just to cut around a pipe? Do this and your tile job will look terrible. Just use a diamond tile drill bit or a diamond blade on your angle grinder. Then use a metal file to smooth the edges if you want the hole to be perfect.

Don't give up your day job, longwinded and unprofessional
Paul Clarke look how it more easy to cut holes czcams.com/video/vPLxb1dcacw/video.html
sad video
time waste
This video is a complete fail. Didn’t learn anything
