cut

hello all What grit polishing pads do you use to finish cut edges on ceramic glazed tiles. I thinking In particular about metro tile mitred edges or normal straight cuts where the glaze chips slightly. What is best hand pad or grinder pad to polish away any imperfections. Many thanks

Because of on going issues I need to find an alternative to hacksaw mitre box junior hacksaw etc and just want some reassuring comments that the proxxon kg80 mini chop saw is worth the couple of hundred outlay for cutting tile trim? Do you have one and is it worth the money? Also any other...

Hi guys I bought the sigma kera cut in 2015 with everything that comes with it about £1800. reason for buying was cutting 1800mm stone , I thought it was cheaper than to buy riamondi wet saw and I could use later for large tiles . Well on a few occasions I've been trying to cut 1500mm -2000mm...

I use these for metal trim.Any one used them for ceramics?

Hey, I did a plan of how I will lay my tiles. I found one cut that seems tricky. I highlighted the cuts in green. How would I need to go about cutting that shape, how would you do it without breaking/chipping the tile?

Morning tool geeks, I've a porcelain floor to remove from around a very expensive kitchen this week and I'm looking for a high quality diamond multi tool blade that will cut through porcelain enough to enable me to break out corner pieces from around units. or does anyone have a different...

Hi I am having the kitchen splashback re-tiled and there are a couple of corners. I really don't like tile trim and so we want the tiles mitred. We plan to use metro tiles (flat rather than bevelled) but wanted to check these can be mitred. Our tiler said the tiles should be at least 8mm thick...

We are currently having our bathroom renovated, and I am becoming increasingly unhappy with the finish of the grout and the tile cuts. The installer, who claims to be a professional tiler, says that is the best finish that can be achieved on a cutout, as it needs to be done with an angle...

Fought this tile all day to get cut with sigma manual cutter and grinder with a porcelain blade. Most times Sigma worked but been a long time since I've broken so many, need a new cutter wheel in and porcelain blade needs renewed!! The tiles have a rough surface with carborundum kinda in them...

Just staring to cut marble mosaic tile squares – and need to cut them without crumbling, chipping and shattering - if possible?. These are 300x300 sheets of 50mmx50mmx10mm squares cut into 3 sections of 2 (100mm wide) squares x 6 (300 long) @ 22.5 degree cut with factory plastic mesh on rear...

I dont know the answer to this so I'm going to ask. So you've got your manual tile cutter and a wetsaw set up so why would you need to cut free hand with a hand held grinder pumping plummes of dust around the place or on the driveway? What is the need for it?

Hi All - a client wants his newly screeded floor tiled and is seriously talking about using massive ones: 2.4m x 1.2m. If any of you have worked with tiles that big, what saw/cutter did you use to cut them? The client wants 2mm grout lines - do you think there'd be any problems with this...

Hi my names Paul, just joined this forum. I've laid underfloor heating in my house - pipes covered in a liquid screed, and I've been looking for tiles to lay on top. I'm in India at the moment and after visiting a lot of places I've seen some sheets of marble all from the same piece of...

I'm nearly finished tiling all bathroom,however Now I have these tricky bits left/small pieces etc. I have a good tile cutter (rubi) and good nipper as well (rubi),however I have no idea if I can cut out such a square out from a tile as it's not a single line? I do not have the electric cutter...

Hi, I'm going to be installing a 1200x900 Kaskade wetroom former, and overboard the floor with 6mm No More Ply (as per their recommendations). Ideally I'd like to avoid the envelope cut needed with larger format tiles. But how big can I go with mosaics before I'd need diagonal cuts? I've seen...

We have a bathroom renovation ongoing, and to cut a long story short I am not happy with the finish of the grout and the tile cuts. The installer (not a full-time professional tiler - yes I know, slap!) says that is the best finish he can achieve as it is a ceramic tile, and its because its a...

Hi , I've recently been in a job using 750x750 5mm porcelain tiles, they cut fine on the score and snap , but trying to Maxine cut is proving a nightmare ! I have a dewalt d24000 with a Montolit Dna blade , chips them , a Rubi tc180 also with same monti blade , chips them ! Grinder with monti...

hello, I have no idea how to make the ends marry up nicely here, I followed a video - but i think the profile is slightly different on the trim I have. It is 6mm genesis branded rounded edge trim if that helps. I can get 6mm quadrant pieces - but these are hard to find in stock and will have to...

wonder if this will appear on this side of the pond? And if it's any good! Bet the blades don't last long.

hi guys just wondering what your opinions on this are, this is for floor tiles do use butt the tile up against the skirting boards or do u use a multitool and cut out the bottom of the skirting and lay tile under ?
