The circular saw is definitely the way to go as opposed to the oscillating tool.

Another trick is to drill two big holes on top of each other then there will only be a little bit of in-wall cutting to do to make the lines straight. Nice work!

I have used an oscillating tool with a tile cutting bit to make straight cuts in installed tile for adding outlets. I probably wouldn’t use a disc or rotary cutter because it’s difficult to control in order to get a straight cut.

I’d call him back to fix it but I might wind up on CNN. Anyone we call to fix the areas wants to rip out everything and start over. The main areas are OK, it’s the corners that have to redone. My question how can I make straight cuts on the tiles to remove a piece of the tile going into the corners so a new corner can be installed properly. I have a Roto Zip and a Dremel tool. Can either one be used with a diamond cut wheel or do you need a hand grinder ?
