    What a great idea! I hope you're using Harbor Freight blades and not Olfa!

    Great idea. I wish I could do that with the laminate we are in the process of putting down now! That is, before I cut my hands off with the power saw. Power tools and me--great combination.

    I used a utility knife. No way would a rotary cutter have scored that tile. The mat & ruler were what I used. I was so happy w/how much easier it was ta measure & cut.
