How do you make the cut against the wall? Seems the cover would only allow you to get so close.

[@SV-zd6gx]

Same question

[@MAGAMAN]

What makes you think he cut tile against the wall?

[@pescatoralpursuit1726]

Only showing the easy part.
Maybe he boogered it up?

[@georgeblank2648]

Use an oscillating tool for that

[@TSammut0219]

@@georgeblank2648 with what blade for tile?

[@ericwilliams8988]

I think you just saved me a world of pain...tile installers installed tile too tight to my fireplace glass and now I can't open or service it. I think this just might do the trick.

[@WeekendRenegades]

Awesome! Good luck

[@mannyrosariofx]

Same here but the tile is preventing the main bedroom bathroom door to fully close... and ive been avoiding the fix because of the dust... Thanks for sharing. I might give it a shot

[@user1111AB]

how do i finish the cut if im cutting under a door?

[@jeremy9326]

Was it pretty easy to pry up the tile after cutting? Whst kinda tools did you use?

[@WeekendRenegades]

Yeah It was pretty easy. I think I used an old chizel. But you could probably use a flat head screwdriver, or some kind of flat pry bar if you have one. Lightly tap it with a hammer if you have to. Thanks for watching!

does the vacuum get damaged by doing that (I mean too much fine dust getting into the vacuum's motor? I am thinking of using it. Thanks

[@WeekendRenegades]

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe if you did it for a long time, but I would think these shop vacs are built to handle dust like this.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

Shop vacs are fine

[@MAGAMAN]

Thanks for proving that there actually are stupid questions.

[@corkandi]

The machine looks similar to an angle grinder. I need to cut the sides of two tiles in between laid tiles. Would an angle grinder with a tile cutting disc attached, do the job?

[@bearnuggets]

Yes, that’s usually what’s used. I came to the video to see this alternative tool, which is great.

[@syndicatevlogs4565]

I’m just curious….
why no transition strip?

[@SV-zd6gx]

Probably aesthetics. A lot of newer transaction is to not use a transition strip. That being said, I would have taken a 3 or 4 inch rip cut plank and transitioned perpendicular between the transition
