Ideal for porcelain tiles

I was remodeling my basement bathroom and found a fantastic 12x24 tile at the Re-Store. Excellent quality, porcelain, fluff side of the porcelain stoneware, it's hard. That means you can't just cut it like ceramic tile, you need diamond blades and bits. I started using my Roto Zip with a diamond blade to cut out the shower fixtures and it turned out to be a chore, I used a $20 diamond hole saw and it took about 20 minutes to cut the handle. So when it came time to cut the toilet flange, I went in a different direction. I found this diamond blade for hard tile jigsaws perfect for my cordless jigsaw. I did a little research, you don't want to dry cut porcelain stoneware, all you have to do is overheat the blade and dull it, or worse, break it. So the trick I found was to fill a small bucket to the brim with water and place a tile on top so the blade went into the water. contract slowly with moderate pressure. This blade got the job done in 1/4 the time with no effort and no dust. Cut out the circle perfectly! If you work with Hard Tile, this is the blade for the job!
