Remodeling the shower and need a Diamond wholesaw

Question

In need of a diamond whole saw for 3 pieces of porcelain tile that I need to cut holes in to fit around the faucet and handles of my shower..Home depot used to cut them for a minimal charge..They longer have the service available...I have called every home improvement store in town.i called every plumber in town as well as every home improvement contractor centers..

One place wanted to charge me $200 for the privilege of them taking a whole hour to cut 3 holes in tiles that take 3 minutes and charge me $200 for the hour...

Suggestions when i can buy a 1 3/4 and 3 3/4 diamond whole saw would be greatly appreciated..

Any locations online where i can buy these?

Answer 1

  Kief s answer is good .. I do the same but on my wet saw.. You ll have to mark both front and back.. Start w/ the front so when you go from the back you ll see how and where exactly you need to cut.. You ll probly find you can cut a square hole but it ll have to be slightly smaller since the trim plate will cover a lot.. One reason I use a wet saw is because a dry diamond blade/ grinder is dusty and I don t like that.. Both will work it s a matter of which is best for you  .. Plus you may find that by drilling and/or using a hole saw some  porcelains will actually shatter, some but not all  GL
