yes you can use a cutting wheel on something like an air powered cutting tool or an angle grinder.

Harbor Freight has the diamond blades for an angle grinder. They are what I use.

Wheels, not blades! They also make flap wheels for Masonry.

It will be dusty as all get out so keep a spray bottle handy to keep misting the tile and area to keep at a minimum. Go slow and let the wheel do the work.

Give yourself a bit of extra room on the cut line, walls have humps in them and you don't want to cut twice. If it's a bit strong or you chip a tile some don't worry you can always run quarter round or shoe at the cabinet bases.

If you have a Lowes in your area check out the dewalt brand 4 in angle grinder diamond blades. They run about 35 and up for a good one. They are fine to dry cut with, if you run a shop vac at the same time to handle the dust created. The wet method mentioned above will work as well. There are 10 dollar blades out there, but they suck. Not knowing if your floor is ceramic or porcelain, you'd be best to get a good one as porcelain is a much harder material. Good luck.

Appreciate each of your replies. Wife wants them in by Thanksgiving. What about a woman that get new cabinets five days before trapping season opens?? Let her know she's on probation. Any woman good enough to have you in her life should know better. Osky

Tell her this qualifies as a change order and it pushes it out 3 to 8 weeks. Let us know how that works out. It kept my kitchen remodel on schedule. LOL

Build up subfloor under the base cabinets front and back with strips of wood so that its height is even or slightly above the tile. X2 Much faster, less mess, and no chance of chipping or cracking the tile.

I would never cut the tile. Way too much work and too much risk of breaking a tile.
Assuming you can live with the extra height, just pad the floor under the cabinets with wood strips as has been said before.
If electrical outlets, a window, or something else is in the way and you can't live with the extra height, I would trim the cabinet base before I would trim the tile floor. A router would be a quick, easy, neat way to notch a rabbit in the front of the cabinet to go around the tile.
