cutting

Hello all, I'm part way through a tiling job (floor and wall tiles) and I need to start thinking about how I'm going to cut circular holes through my floor tiles and wall subway tiles for the various pipes and wastes etc. It present I've not fitted the tiles to the walls/floor that will need...

I know there's scores of options out there, but is there any particular grinder disc that anyone would favour for metal trim?

Hi..A friend of mine is trying to cut square glass mosaics for a worktop and the mosaic keeps chipping at the end of the cut...could anyone hazard a guess why?...whatshe going wrong.. He's using a wet saw.. Many thanks

Job I'm on at the moment the porcelain tiles are rock hard and when you cut them the last inch or so seems to go off line either to the right or left .....I've had this before and managed to muddle through, wasting a few tiles on the way.......has anyone else had this ? I've even borrowed a new...

I'm considering using porcelain tiles for my bathroom renovation. I have tried a sample tile on my wet cutter and found it chips the glaze slightly. Is there a technique to avoid this? Do I need a professional tile cutter? Should I use a manual cutter instead? I have cut slate and ceramic tiles...

Evening all, I don't post anywhere near as often as I should, but I need a little guidance with this! I'm looking to purchase a good glass cutting blade for a grinder or wet cutter, preferably the grinder though. What can anybody suggest? Thanks

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...

hello all, I'm laying 600 x 400 limestone tiles in a small downstairs toilet. It's been tiled on to a primed ply floor screwed to floor boards. This is the old stuff that was there from when the floor was tiled before over 20 years ago. The ply seems in good condition I've just added loads more...

Have no pics and just remembering about it now since haven't used it in 2 weeks but the blade was cutting into my movable tray. Has this ever happened to yours. If so, what was causing this. Obviously there's something out of alignment but anyone know what was the cause.

Hi guys, Is there a technique other than a steady hand to getting straight long cuts using a grinder. Also mitres I've seen a set up of a 45deg angle block and cut freehand but only on small cuts. Trying to make a decision on whether to upgrade to a cordless grinder and batteries or to spend...

After setting out the shower tray lines for envelope cuts do people use the grinder to cut the diagonals so they have a grout joint or just use the tile cutter and have a real thin grout joint (Possibly too thin) so the bond still runs through from outside the former??

What's your platform for cutting tiles on with the grinder, I'm looking at upgrading!

I've just ordered a little saw blade for my angle grinder I'm gonna try and u der cut some skirting and send the tile under it I've seen the yanks do.it on a few videos has anyone tried it ?

This is probably going to seem like a very stupid question, but I gotta ask, because i've seen something that goes completely against something else i was taught a while back. When grinding a tile, I always make sure that the blade spins down onto the tile. I was told years ago that if the the...

Gents, got a floor I'm on at the moment, 2 oak posts into the ground that are still green, what practice would you carry out when cutting around them? Allowance for drying out

I have a colleague at work who knows that I want to leave my desk job to pursue tiling. So he has allowed me to use him as a guinea pig this weekend. My payment....... Chinese and an unlimited supply of coffee and bacon butties. I will be doing his bathroom floor. but the shape of it...

I can't stop looking at this machine.... One question though...Can I do a diagonal cut on a 60 x 60cm tile with this cutter as one of the main reasons I want it is for envelope cuts?

since Buying my d2400 second hand it have never cut square , probably 2mm out on a 300mm length What is the best way to adjust these ? Just asking if anyone has had any experience Thanks

I'm fixing about 90 metres of 10mm 800x800 porcelain tiles at the moment, using a Rubi Tx 1200 cutter. As per usual with large format porcelain, getting clean consistent cuts is very hit and miss. Decided to change my normal 22mm wheel for a bearinged version to see if that made any difference...

Just looking at this universal dust shroud for my 115mm grinder for cutting tiles, anyone have any experience with it. Any Good? Cheers D
