cutting

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. Looking at doing a small repair for a client after new shower installation. Please see photos. Customer couldn't find exact match for these old...

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...

Not sure if this is allowed, but; there are a few going quite cheap on eBay at the moment.

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

Hello everyone. I need to buy a new sigma or rubi machine to cut tiles over 60 cm. The problem is I need it tomorrow by the evening so I plan to go and buy from one shop because on amazon it will be delivered by Tuesday. I am asking for help maybe someone know from where I can buy something in...

Hi All, I have been a long time reader of this forum and it has already helped me a lot, so thanks to you all for that. I have recently started replacing my bathroom, it's been going fine so far, but I've just come across a problem with the tiling that I hope you could help me with. We ended...

Can anyone recommend a good dry cut 115 blade for travertine 25 mm i have 1200x600 stone to cut and my sigma wet saw will only go to 950mm so i was going to maybe use the grinder attachment on the kera cut Really appreciate some feedback

I would like to put tiles cutting into the original floorboards where the the 2 different flooring meets. I’ve generally seen it with engineered or hardwood flooring but not old floorboards. Is there a way to avoid cracking tiles? Thanks

Hi everyone So, I’m in the process of re-fitting our kitchen. Everything is going swimmingly and I’m quickly approaching tiling along the worktops.. I don’t mind tiling but absolutely dread cutting tile trim. I’ve seen pre formed corners online for turns to take the the tiles up the wall at...

Just wondering what height to cut clear - Tile + How much for adhesive? The tiles are 59cm x 59cm porcelain and 9-12mm thick. I have a 20mm trowel. I think that is 15mm height so applied at an angle presumably will be somewhere between 9 and 12mm (depending on angle)... is there an official...

Just wondering what I should expect to pay for a good blade to cut porcelain tiles? It'll be a 4.5" blade to fit my grinder. The guy in one of the local tile shops showed me a £30 blade he "sells to all the professional tilers." I've seen a diamond edged blade in toolstation for £3. But I...

quock question. What is the best way to cut 20mm external porcelain? Is there a mini grinder blade that will cope? Cheers

Hi I have a 900 x 900 shower enclosure that was showing some dampness through the grout joints and solid plastered brick walls after 20+ years. I liked the tiles and have manage to remove and clean most of the 250x 300 porcelain tiles, ready to refit after tanking the walls, (on a tight...
