Did anyone by chance try to cut tiles? Is there a special endmill? I’d love to do fancy shit for a bathroom in a few years. 
Don’t know about cutting tiles… but you can sure do some “fancy”/custom tile engravings with a little 2.5W diode laser and your MPCNC. Why wait years?

That does look pretty good also. Does it last in water, like a shower? Or does it wash off?
It is a permanent, slightly raised, fused-to-the-surface, engraving that works on glass as well as the ceramic tiles…
Here’s the Norton white tile method explained by the author himself…

And this is just a sampling of his work…

@Tokoloshe, I would love to figure out how to do some mosaics. Tile dust is pretty dangerous so you may want to build a water container similar to what @stylesuxx uses to cut CF.
Vienna now has a(nother?) MPCNC
@dkj4linux, those are awesome!

I haven’t done much tile work, but I did cut some with an angle grinder and a ceramics blade. That made So Much Dust. It also was much slower than wood. I think there are a few posts about stone carving and that would probably be pretty close.
IDK if you are into pottery, or know a place nearby with classes or something. But maybe you could carve something into the clay and then fire them instead of working on the hard stone?

You should mount a water jet to your MPCNC.

Also could be someone near with an intense hobby. A friend of my wife’s bought a kiln and melted some wine bottles. I think she wanted to sell pottery, but we haven’t talked much since covid happened. I had some really good ideas that didn’t quite pan out, and we need to get back to that!
