How Do You Cut Tile With A Rotozip?
Those who have cut tile before know the difficulty. Tile can chip, crack and be incredibly rough to cut through. With a RotoZip tool and an x-bit, all those difficulties disappear. By spinning at a high speed (30,000 RPM), the bit stays cool so you don’t need to use water to cool it down. With a little bit of practice, you’ll be comfortable cutting tile in no time. Attach an x-bit to your RotoZip tool. An x-bit is a diamond grit bit designed specifically to cut granite, marble, porcelain and many types of floor tiles. The RotoZip tool spins fast. This keeps it cool, eliminating the need to use water. Clamp your tile down to a workbench and keep a vacuum nearby. Cutting tile can get very dusty. Score the material. This means making the initial cut. Scoring will allow you to achieve a more accurate cut when moving your tool outward. This is much easier than starting from the edge of the tile and moving inward. Once you score the material, keep your bit moving around in a circular motion
