I need to recess a mat into an existing tiled floor - can anyone help with the following:

What is the best way to cut out the outline of the mat well and remove the tiles?

I think the tiles are only 10mm thick but the coir mat is 20mm so I would need to remove about 10mm of the concrete floor underneath the tiles and adhesive - how should I evenly remove 10mm of this?

Is there a brass trimming kit to fit around the perimeter and cover the tile edge?

Any other advice would be appreciated

Angle grinder set to a depth stop - you can make multiple cuts all over the area and then chisel up the bits. It won't be perfectly flat though.
 
Just rang the local tool hire company and the assistant asked me 'how will you get into the corners of the cut out piece with the angle grinder?' I couldn't answer this as this is an issue - I'll be able to score the tiles in the corners but not cut down through their depth and if I hit them with a chisel I'll end up cracking the rest of the tile. Any thoughts on this problem?
