Cutting sqaure 'holes' in porcelain

[Deleted member 1779]

I'd mark the FRONT of the tile

Drill out the corners to be safe:

Drill out the holes front to back

Then plunge cut the lines on a small wetsaw

looking through the holes of the tiles to see where I am cutting

That way you're guaranteed not to have any over runs.
Ignore the fact the demo is on a tiny tile.

If you have large porcelain tiles like this then doing everything from the front leaves less room for error.

Mistakes on BIG tiles are costly.. Drilling out sockets can be tricky

Results.. A socket in a tile

Don't mind me while I bump up some of the old threads. I wont be doing this much more. Just the last few in the Tile Drilling forum - How to Drill Porcelain Tiles. Just one of the many tiling advice forums.

I also like this, then use blade grinder with 75mm Montolit from above without touching the corners , no breaks google translated
