How to cut a hole in ceramic tile with an angle grinder with a dry cutting diamond blade. First step is to know where to cut the hole and to mark that location on your ceramic, porcelain, travertine or for that matter any kind of tile. The tile to be cut needs to be placed on a flat surface. This process will make a lot of dust so take whatever steps necessary to allow for it. First use the angle grinder with the dry cutting blade to score a line all the way around the circle to be cut, next with an up and down motion make the grove deeper as you continue to work your way around the circle. Do not rush and do not apply a lot of pressure, let the diamond blade do the work. It will take several passes to completely cut through the tile.

For the privilege of watching a skilled master at work. Sharing his years of experience and passing his practical knowledge along to the rest of us so generously is a priceless gift.
It is indeed!
Crackheads built this country lol
Are you fucking kidding me ? Whats this your uncle or something
That is an understatement. Especially now with a shortage of skilled tradesman.
Now BJ the man, he will really appreciated you
Good tip sal. This is exactly how I learned to cut holes in tile and stone from my friend who was taught masonry in Honduras as a kid. He cuts all his holes for toilet flanges, shower valves and shower recessed lighting this same way.
Thanks for the demo. I followed your instructions today and it worked beautifully!
Thank you for teaching your trade skills.A well edited and narrated video, good work.
I'm currently doing a remodel on our master bath and I did this exact cut around the toilet bowl pipe and it came out great!
Your video epitomizes what youtube should be. Very clear and helpful. Thank you!
Thanks, 'helpful - watched it just before doing mine, felt more peaceful n confident.
A great tutorial, I used this to cut the extraction fan hole in my bathroom tiles. Thank you for posting
Thank you so much for posting this! This video saved me a lot of time and money buying or borrowing specialty tools to cut one tile for a diy bathroom repair. All I needed was a $15 diamond blade and some patience!
I’m glad you pointed out that the flange is supposed to sit on top of the tile.
That works for me. Some tiles are to hard to cut other ways. A great demonstration.
Nice job, Sal. You're my hero!
Great work I only use a grinder on all tile I have for years.
Good video Sal. I've done a lot, and learn a lot on my own but I don't have experience with tile yet. So I appreciate the video. There's a million ways to do a million things. This is one. Thanks.
Thanks for the video.From Cyprus
What a nice clean way of doing something that could be problematic. Good job God Bless
Thank you for all your videos, they are so helpful!
I'm going to do this on mine tomorrow, let's hope my hands are as steady as yours. Great job.
Hi Sal i always keep a 3x3 carpet tile handy to Put on my movable work table ,it works well ,keeps tile flat , and keeps it from sliding around
Great piece of instruction. Thanks.
I cut circles and curves with an angle grinder like that all the time.
But if you're setting the flange on top of the tile and hiding the cut anyhow ( the correct way to do it, which is good to see ) you could just do a 4 plunge cut square big enough to fit the stack pipe through with the angle grinder, or even better a wet saw, and take 1/4 the time to get it done.
I love plunging it into the groove!
that's what I said
You're a Master at your game. Thanks so very much for this wonderful video. You really do great work.
That was absolutely magnificent! My God I love people like you who give away experience and tips like this for free. For the life of me, I never thought of doing it that way, Genius! Thank you so much, you just saved me countless hours of work!
Sal, thank you for the information. Great video.
This is awesome. Thanks, Sal.
Nicely done! Good enough for a toilet flange, I say. Thanks for the video!
Muy buen trabajo!!! tiene mucha manualidad.
great tip thanks sal!
Nice! Yes theres faster ways but to cut next to the edge like that with a grinder is skill and patience. Good video.
Thx for the video. It really clarified the circular cutting methods. I'm gonna do that today! Wish me luck!
+mosichat the better the blade, the easier it becomes.
looks good to me. I do it slightly different but it's always interesting to watch someone else.
30 yrs in the field and i must say bro Very Impressive
You are the man sal!!!!
SAL YOU REALLY NEED TO OPEN A SCHOOL. You are the best.
almost 2 millon views master sal!!! it amazes me how many has seen this video out of all your videos!
Sal, thx a lot for the video, very helpful. I recently cut a hole for diversion valve after watching your video.
Second try was success, first time ever doing this. I broke one tile by using 4" wheel on a grinder. I guess the hole was too close to the edge and unlike in your flange case 4 wheel was a bit too big for its diameter so I switched to a 3" or so diamond wheel that came with my rotozip and fit it on a drill instead of a grinder. And I squirted water from a sponge to avoid dust.
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed watching and listening to you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you, that was super helpful! Much appreciated.
👍
You are right, there is more than one way to do it.
Hi I'm a tiller from Nigeria please I want to learn more from you please how do I get your email address or watzap number,i love your video this is my email and watzap number Dansam tiles@gmail.com

I tile for a living and cut holes like this daily.... My problem is this... You never install tile over any wood subfloor.... Ever... The tile is bound to crack in a short time once the contractor gets paid and walks away....
@@cbrSpeedster1 How do you know it wasn't just a dry fit? In my opinion that's the best way to go about doing tile.
Very helpful, off the to store for a diamond blade.
Thank you
Nice work, thanks
Congratulations!.. good job, thank you!
That's a lot of work! I cut an octagon around every toilet hole. 8 quick plunge cuts, finish them from the back of the tile. Bing bang boom done.
Eric Nelson Any way that gets the job done is good.
@@SalDiBlasiMost in the profession would say that, as long as quality of the job isn't compromised, significantly faster is better.
But you do you. If you're getting work, you're doing something right.
thanks for the tip
Another info-filled gem, but thanks also for taking the time to answer EVERY question. I learn just as much from reading through the comments. I hope everyone appreciates your generosity in sharing your knowledge and talent. I do! Ps- my yard sale rotozip busted cutting cement board...😭 busted twice, actually. Fixed it once, then something else broke.
I tried the roto zip on cement board once, found it to be a big disappointment, this is how i do it How to cut and install cement board for ceramic wall tile
perfect damn circle - well done
Good job
this is a perfect example of where the flange could be installed correctly ontop of the tile. sadly that is rarely the case. this is a well done video
Excellent. Practical.
Perfect thanks
buen truco....pensé que utilizaría alguna herramienta especial
Good work, professional
Clever technique.
Cool video Sal, I'm going to invest in a grinder now for a better circular cut on toilet flanges and mixing valves. To those who are recommending plunge cutting, this method provides a better seating as the radius will be tighter than an octagon cut. I'm not saying plunge cutting is wrong but just boils down to taking pride in your work in even what you cant see. Thanks Sal
+Matthew Blackburn Exactly.
nice control of the angle grinder
Nice job sir.
No fare you have the skills necessary to do this. Good Job.
Great job bro !!
thankyou very useful
thanks for sharing
I broke 3 tiles and then watched this video and I was successful. I always go to a Sal video for the explanation that I understand best.
Most important was to go slow and the position that SAL held grinder was best for me. All i can say is thanks
Glad it helped!
Nice , gotta get me a mini grinder, thanks for tip 👌😉
I understand ,thank you.
very good mister
Some years ago i tried the rotozip to cut a hole in Durock, i found It To Be very slow, hard to control and just not a good choice for the kind of materials involved in tile setting. I am sure that It works fine on softer materials, but there are better tools available.
perfection :) well done.
Good job 👏🏾!
very good said dibiase
Too good tq
There's always something to learn I say...good advice!

I learn something today.
nice job sir
Right on👍🏼
Thank you very much for the reply.
But what kind of adhesive do you use when you install the tiles on this kind of surface?
The reason I am asking this is because I am trying to renew my bathroom and the floor is from wood and at the moment I am looking for flooring . I really prefere tiles but in this house the floor is wood
I cut a circle little bit when just cut 4 crossed lines inside circle. it gives you like 8 triangles inside circle. when you just use small hammer or something to brake them gently from the circle.
well done
Grate job.
You have the best videos.

I very rarely ware gloves, its just the way I do things.
Sal DiBlasi 6 years later in Copenhagen, Denmark 😃 I find it hard getting a feel of the surface if I wear gloves. I actually cut out the fingers of rubber gloves because I’ve found out that my ring finger is perfect to grout with. Is it true that using your fingers without gloves is messing with the durability of the grout?
40+ yrs in the tile trades ....... never worn gloves, everybody reminds me, They are restrictive , and my hands look better than most tradesmen
I do once round and then plunge cut a cross in the middle,the segments snap right off,I know you can just do a octogan of plunge cuts but my OCD doesnt like a octagon for a round pipe.
Brilliant. Looking at options for a continuation of using porcelain tiles as a back board for a log burning stove onto an angled roof for the chimney exit. This may work. Now google filing tiles for a neater finish.
That is one thick tile. Most are much thinner and would require less scoring. But the principle is still the same I'll definitely be using this in the future!
Nice to edit out the grinder noise. Good work on steadying the grinder. I would have tried a block of wood inside the circle to help support the grinder and to allow it to stand more vertical, But I'm just sitting here, easy to armchair coach. Thanks
Thank for your videos I lenr how to make a shower pan from one of your videos and I already make two thanks a lot God bless
That is why i make the videos, so people can learn to do it properly and not guess at it.
Just a note to say thank you for a great selection of how-to guides - I started out with a 6k sq ft home here in the Dallas suburbs, where I have 6 full baths and 2 1/2 baths, along with a large laundry room, mud room and walk-in pantry. Over this summer, I managed to renovate all of these spaces. To be honest, the biggest PIA was the demo work, taking out the old flooring and bath tile surrounds, the faux marble countertops and controlling the dust and debris. The other tasks in the overall demo and renovation project plan, just required patience and a deliberate/disciplined focus
Good for you, it is true, installing tile is hard work and requires patience, planning and discipline.
Wish you were in CT, I want to install a shower stall but am a little nervous..specially regarding the waterproofing! I will watch your videos over and over till i totally get it! Thank you sooo much, your videos are extremely helpful and I ESPECIALLY LOVE HOW METICULOUS YOU ARE WITH YOUR WORK
Thanks, have to make the customer happy.
wow cool!
A good share
Very good presentation
Thanks a lot
It took forever for this!
I Feel Honored Just To Be Able to View This Fine Sculptor at 'Woik!' Thank You!
Noce job!
I do a quick grind around the perimeter then do pizza slice segments till its cut all the way through. Once I done that I tap the slices out. Much neater and takes less time 👍
How would you be able to tell? Thank you for your time.
