Is there a dremel attachment for cutting travertine?
I need to cut into the middle of a travertine tile to make a hole for the toilet in my bathroom. I have a Dremel tool, and was wondering if there was an attachment for that purpose? I've seen one for the rotozip that looks like a drill. However all I can find for the Dremel is a small circular blade attachment, nothing I can plunge into the tile with.
Is there anything out there I can use, I don't have an angle grinder, just my wetsaw and dremel.

I've used rotozip bits in my dremel, I'm pretty sure. Just need the right size collet. But aren't there carbide bits for dremels for cutting tile? Use that and the small router attachment kit for the dremel, should work for one toilet hole.

The bits I've seen for the Dremel all say they are only for cutting ceramic or porcelin, no stone. I'll try to pickup a Rotozip bit and see if it fits in the Dremel.

Dremel has a diamond coated shaft but you will need plenty of water.
Why not forget all the rigging and just cut the hole with your wet-saw and be done with it. The hole can be "pie sliced" using plunge cuts, and then plunge cut for the round cuts.
DON"T try to tap out the cuts, cut them.
This operation doesn't have to be a work of art, doesn't have to be pretty in this case you know.
