How to cut out for toilet waste pipe..

[peckers]

I was cutting out for toilet waste pipe today and had the camera with me and thought I would show how i do it so newbies and diyers can see an easy way to do it with out to many tools!
The tile was a ceramic one!

Tools used.
tape measure/pencil/parrot nibblers/grindette/diamond blade/safety glasses/square and a piece of waste pipe which i always keep in the van..

How to do. Firstly mark the centre of your pipe onto the tile, then measure and mark equall distance either side off centre lines to find the outside diameter of your hole in this case it was 135mm as it was a joiner collett and then allow en extra 2mm for ease. Then draw a square and then put pipe in the middle and draw around it.

Then take your grindette and cut a square in the middle off the circle removing as much waste material as possible

Now cut around the circle with the grindette to about 2mm depth and then cut lines all the way around it like a combe affect starting from the middle and cutting towards the circle line.

Once all the way around you can now tap the slithers sideways and they will break off and you can then use your parrott nibblers to remove the rest off the waste.

You can then use your grindette to fettle and tidy up any little bits needed by inserting the grindette threw the back off the tile.

And hey presto you have a neat tidy job.


And this took me about 10 mins including my david bailey shots

For the professional tiler if you want to drill the hole we supply the 110mm drill bit.

But my advice is to ALWAYS go for the 115mm because most extract fans start at that size range so the core will double up to cut soil stacks (4 inch) and extracts.



An investment piece for the long term.

thats the same way i'd cut it out too but i try if possible to have the grout line through the centre of the pipe. makes it a lot easier

Just to let you know we're working on a new clamp for the bigger size cores.

I'm designing the layout at the moment and if everything goes well we should start to CNC machine a prototype out by the start of summer.

By the end of July we should have a fully working injection mold that will produce a guide for larger cores. At the moment I keep tinkering with the design adding and changing things. Perhaps when I have something worth showing I will post it up here for the professionals (IE You guys!) to make comments.

Look forward to it Rich.

Blinking ink. I was trying to explain earlier to a member that wanted to cut a 200mm whole in ceramics. Would have loved to have known this thread existed as I'd have linked to it. Can't for the life of me find the other thread now though!

[bitter&twisted]

Nice cut,good luck with porcelain

[irishjas]

nice job. But will the home owner appreciate that tile? That it took you so long that he could put his ass on the toilet and be looking at the back of the door and not appreciate all the hard cutting you done?? NO but nice cut we all here appreciate it

[bcfcdaz]
