Tile – Cutting Wall Tile with Oscillating tool

ceramic-tile

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.

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.
