What was the American wet cutter with the circular blade called, something XT, that did a similar cut, very nice iirc.

Looks interesting, I might look into it to get my tiles cut into rods, would save me getting bored out of my skull doing it. I imagine it's a pretty expensive service, I don't suppose holding my finger over the end of the hose would do the same thing? :lol:

I used to sell one or two a month when at Topps but never fitted any. Used to be max size about 60 x 60cm back then though, or at least before the price went a bit nuts. Could cut in pretty much any tile. Some nice patterns can come from them. And large compass in the entrance hall had been done half a dozen times a year. All looked spot on.

Didn't know there was a firm in Cheshire that did it though.

To give you an idea how fine you can go with it, this was all cut from 60x60 porc

Would be very unlucky if you broke one of those letters.

Great system but pretty costly. Just got some 600x600 cut into mosaics for a wetroom floor. Ended up costing £7 a 300x300 panel, ie 4 panels in a tile.

Did a jewellers a couple of years back and broke the pre-cut name twice. They changed the design after the second time as it was too delicate.....

Felt a right muppet, especially when I had around 20 peeps watching me the second time I tried to fix it

Wanted mosaic for asthetic reasons plus polished porc so the customer would have ended up on his backside on a wet enveloped floor.
