I am about to start tiling the walls and have spent a long time planning the setting out of all the walls. The result being that I need to tile down on to on to a raised tiled shower tray. Because the shower tray has a fall I will need to take a small amount off the bottom of some full tiles for...
Hello,
We recently bought a house and have refurbished it. We have ripped out and redone 3 bathrooms, two are fine, one looks terrible. There have been so many issues but the main one I need to understand is this;
The architect advised that the walls should be metro tiles, herringbone pattern...
Hi everyone
I was kindly given an older used Rubi ND180 smart wet cutter, it’s not in the best condition but it works and will do me for a while as I’m just starting out.
I’ve taken the disc out as it needs replacing. I’m just looking for some advice on whether you think stick to Rubi wet...
Hi there, been cutting 800 x 300 porcelain tile square cuts no problem for my bathroom walls however struggling to cut hex porcelain tiles corner to corner. The last 20 to 30mm breaks away from the score line. I checked the score and it does look or feel any different where the break veres...
Not sure if this is allowed, but I got an email the other day from CTD. It contained a link to Marcrist for a free 850 INOX cutting disc. Give your details and show/print voucher to your chosen store...
Hi There, im about to start cutting my floor tiles for a wet room, i have a shower tray former with an end drain. The cut patterns are fairly self explanatory however am i right in thinking that dry cutting the 'fall cuts' is not an option? Im thinking wet cutting is required to create the...
Hi I've been a 'tiler' for a very long time but in the last 10 years moved into maintenance and new builds for an investment company. I have avoided extra large format tiles like the plague but now our firm is putting up 5 new houses all with 1200x1200 floors and 1200x 600 on the walls...
Has anyone got a rubi tx ,been told theyll snap 20 mm porcelain ,like to know if it does before i buy,or ill use a big angle grinder just get the right blade ,had my crosscut wet saw stolen off a job ,anyone cheers
Bit of a funny one. Not something I have messed with before. In the small amount of tiling I have done, cut edges have always been hidden in corners.

I was watching videos on cutting tiles with angle grinder and came a cross one where the tile was cut on what looked like a large board.
Anyone know what material it would be looking at getting something to cut on top of.
Hi,
My wheel has pretty much ground to a halt, refusing to cut any more that an inch or so of porcelain without a struggle.
It's nowhere near worn out so I'm assuming it's gotten coated with something maybe. I've used one of those cleaning blocks in the past but didn't feel it was really helping...
Any recommendations for a blade for cutting a lot of 16mm porcelain tiles, in a bridge cutter?
I read that Marcrist CK850 is a good blade? A 200mm one is nearly £80.
I have already successfully tiled my bathroom floor using a fairly cheap manual tile cutter, and a handheld grinder but I did get some minor chipping on my cuts (not an issue as all hidden under the skirting boards). My next task is to tile the shower enclosure where the tile cuts will be...
Hi all,
I’m using split face tiles (10mm ceramic 600x300mm) on one wall and I’m failing to cut them along the wavy lines, the manual cutter I have will not cut straight through the split lines and the small wet saw I have, doesn’t support the long tiles, it cuts it like butter but when it...
Hi, I am trying to cut 600 x 600 porcelain tiles diagonally corner to corner on my bridge saw. Upon making contact with the tile, the edge chips leaving an unsharp cut at the start. Do you have any suggestions to avoid this. Could it be a sign that the blade has lost its edge? Cutting across a...
Do you have to drill holes in XL tiles before cutting a piece out for example round a door .
I've seen some YouTube videos and they all show this method
