Thank you so very much skin1235, we phoned a concrete cutter and he wanted $200 to cut this small hole. You always have the answers so we thank you again.

So $200 would have been acceptable if it was a larger hole?

$200 would never be acceptable for such a small hole.

What do you reckon would be acceptable?

$200 is quite high for a "minimum charge" job. I think my cutter usually charges $95? minimum. Doesn't matter if it's a hole, or a slab cut. But, travel costs are much lower where I am.

If this is just to cut through a tile you can get an adjustable hole saw for tiles.

Trademe has Diamond hole cutters. I Do a bit of tiling and I get mne from there. you need to be careful with them and tip you drill to one side to start the hole and then slowly bring the hole cutter down flat to the surface of the tile. It is a good thing to have a bit of a practice on spare tile . Slow drill speed is the way to go

I put a pilot hole in first with a spear point drill, then use a tungsten carbide cutter wire in a hacksaw frame. No need to have a range of hole cutters.
