Forgive me if this has already been asked (didn't come up on a search)
Is a Fein Multitool or similar any good for cutting ceramic floor tiles in situ. I know they are very good for removing grout but what about cutting tiles.
Thanks in advance

But is a fein multitool good for cutting tiles?
An angleginder is all very well but is not suitable.
Both cost the same to hire! |

Yes you can use multi tool for cutting tiles with correct blade, I have also use a Rebel roto-saw with a tile bit but not a very tidy cut. |

if you can get hold of a water-cooled one it will save you a lot of dust, depending on how many you have to cut.
Makita used to do one with a 75mm diamond blade and a small water bottle, it sat on a guide like a circular saw. great bit of kit |
