Need to cut Ceramic Bathtub Panel.

[ejlackey]

I recently tiled my bathroom, now the floor is about a half inch taller than it was before. The bathtub is in the corner, and I have a ceramic panel that is curved, and fits between the two cabinets (to hide the pipes and drain etc..). I need to shave about a half (1/2") inch off the bottom of that panel so that the top is flush with the tub itself and need some suggestions.

I have a wet saw, but that would be very combersome trying to cut this

40+ lb curved structure (approximately 4ft by 20 inches). Can you use a diamond tipped blade in a circular saw? Seems like that would generate a lot of dust and chips, unless a wet saw is used.

Circ saw + ShopVac. Not too bad.

I imagine you could even have a helper "mist" the cutting area.

Can the thing be carted outside or even out to the garage?

Yes, in fact it is already in the garage.

Thanks for the tip.
