Installing a bathroom vanity cabinet. It fits fine, but I need to cut a half inch of the base board tile (tile along the wall, where it meets floor tile) to have the cabinet flush to the wall. I recently bought a Bosch 2608661757 Grout and Mortar Remover for my Oscillating tool to remove a layer of grout to regrout floor. Will I be able to use this accessory to cut this tile on the wall? Trying not to go buy another saw. I also have other saw bits, but would like some advice.

How much tile do you need to cut?– JPhi1618Commented May 20, 2016 at 16:30

It is one tile and a half inch needs to come off a 2"x4" tile, on the wall– Keep It MovingCommented May 20, 2016 at 17:20

Wouldn't it be better to cut the cabinet to fit the tile? Or is the cabinet concrete or rock, etc.?– wallykCommented May 20, 2016 at 17:24

Wow, that was an angle I did not think about. I have to check the cabinet when I get home from work.– Keep It MovingCommented May 20, 2016 at 18:12

That should cut through the tile fairly well (assuming ceramic and not porcelain), but it may not leave a clean edge against the cabinet. In particular, you'll have trouble getting through the surface glazing.
I'd set the cabinet in place, trace it on the tile with a permanent marker, pop the tile off the wall, and take it to a big box or tile shop and ask them to cut it with their wet saw.

Sounds good. Thanks for that advice. Did not think of the edge it would leave with that tool. Was looking for a quick solution, but it would have looked horrible and I could not find those tiles around. Commented May 20, 2016 at 17:32

Wet saw is the best way to cut it will leave the cleanest edge.+– Ed BealCommented May 20, 2016 at 20:05

Note that "pop the tile off the wall" might result in breaking the tile. Hope you have spares. Commented May 21, 2016 at 1:17
