    600 x 600 Tile Tricky Cut?

    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?

    Mitre cut metro tiles

    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.

    Never used a grinder to cut tiles...

    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?
