Need some assistance

[Slev]

So I'm building a bar in my mancave and the plan is to purchase a kegerator & install it in the bar so that the tower is on the finished bar top. Here is my dilemma:

The bar top will consist of slate tile (matching the floor tile) and 1/8" of the clear epoxy coating. Problem I have is that the kegerator will not be purchased for quite a while but I'm ready to finish the bar top now. I could get the specs for the kegerator I want & cut the holes in the bar top accordingly prior to tiling/epoxy but I will be screwed if that model is not available when I finally decide to purchase and holes don't line up. I don't believe cutting/drilling after tile/epoxy is an option.

Any advice/assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sure it is.
You can cut holes in tile all day long.
As well the epoxy over it.

Remember as well that the stand for the tap / drain tray will cover a lot of area giving you much more flexibility in where exactly to cut, and how much 'play' room you have there.

What he said. Anything that will cut the slate will have no problem with the finish. It might cloud/scratch up, but if you're careful and don't let it get too far, you could do a flange of some sort (hardwood would be cool) around the fitting that covered up the hole.

I hear what you guys are saying, I just worry that any major splintering of the tile would end up causing me to use an oversized flange and look silly. I've also plumbed it to have a spill drain which will need to be cut out as well and I have not investigated yet as to whether the drain have any sort of lip to them (begins research).

Thanks for the input fellas

No. With the right hole saw, you can cut through tile without any issues.
You can use carbide tipped (good)

Or use a diamond tipped hole saw (best)

Now that I think of it, I could probably find a bit or holesaw to rent from HD to make my cuts. If it requires renting the drill/saw, so be it...still a heck of alot cheaper than purchasing a diamond blade hole saw & blade for a one-time use.

Thanks

Carbide tipped.
Not too too spendy, and work well if you take your time.
