Reply to comment by loganab13 in Help with tile job by DotZei

Hey, man.

May I bother you one more time?

It looks like my bathroom is going to come out great, but I don't know how to cut the toilet hole.

I've got that sliding manual cutter and a tile carbide tip blade.

Right now I think I'm going to take a thick piece of cardboard and cut a circle the size I need, then trace around it a bunch with the carbide point, then drill and chip or maybe just punch it with a mallet.

I've got the EXACT number of tiles I need and these things have got to be 20 years old, I doubt I'd ever match them...

... so a mistake literally fugs me. I can't afford to experiment.

Are you able to give me any advice on this?

YouTube seems shady af.

These people give off vibes that they're someone like me doing a job for the first time and decided to get internet points (what a weird culture)... so it would be nice hearing it from someone who I know, knows what they're doing.

Thanks if you see this

Edit: Holy heck... the previous owner left behind a pair if those square head snip things, so I've got that option too... but I have no clue how to use them. Hopefully YouTube can help me with that
