[QUOTE="Old Mod, post: 904953"] For a first timer with an angle grinder, personally wouldn’t recommend a continuous rim blade, you could trash it in 30 secs with porcelain and still not achieve your cut. My choice would be a mesh type blade, they’re readily available now and relatively inexpensive and you will manage the cut, first timer or not. This is excellent for the money from [USER=47704]@Pro Tiler Tools[/USER] I’m on my second now. [URL='https://www.*******************/product/premtool-turbo-fastline-115mm-x-22-2mm-diamond-blade-tur115']PREMTOOL Turbo Fastline 115mm x 22.2mm Diamond Blade TUR115 | Buy Diamond Blades (Tiling) Online from Pro Tiler Tools - https://www.*******************/product/premtool-turbo-fastline-115mm-x-22-2mm-diamond-blade-tur115[/URL] Depending on width of your cut out, will depend on cut out method, but asPaul says above, you should really drill the corners first to help eliminate unwanted cracks appearing. Then either follow your outline as Paul suggests, or if you’re unable to turn your blade perpendicular to the parallel cuts because of its narrow width, use your slide cutter to join the dots (drill holes) at the top of your cut out, but do not snap and run the blade up to this line every 10mm or so creating lots of parallel cuts. Once done, typically you can just tap them out and then tidy the end line up with your blade. [/QUOTE]
