Hi, this is Brian Carter on behalf of Expertvillage.com. I have 10 years of ceramic tile installation experience. Today I am going to show you how to make a three-sided cut using the grinder fit with the ceramic tile dry blade. Okay so we are going to do the same type of cut here, but we are going to do the first two lines using the wet saw just as we did last time. This is a common cut for an outlet or some kind of box, alright. On the last one we did the parallel cut, you remember and then we cut it from side-to-side. This one we are going to actually use the blade to cut the actual line, so cut there. And so here we go with the dry blade. This blade runs a lot hotter, so we can take our time we can see the sparks coming off there. As we go down the tile gets hotter so be careful and it will pop off just like that. Okay perfect. Now what we are going to do is we are going to take it, we are going to turn it over and we are going to clean it up from the back side because we can cut a little bit into the tile on the back side but not have it effect the surface, and if that is an exposed area, we can fill any of that underside with grout so it is not a problem. We will just keep trimming that up, be really careful, and you got a nice cut there.
