Do any of you have any experience in cutting crackle glaze ceramic tiles? what methods have you tried and which one works best for you? Guidence on both straight cuts and angles would be appreciated. We have lots of people stuggle with cutting, due to the excess chipping. Obviously with the...

I am currently doing a new build where the customer has bought some tiles from Porcelenasa. They are 440mm x 660mm porcelain and are the hardest most evil tiles I have come across in 20 years of tiling. I bought a Rubi TX-900n from Dave at Trade tiler as my TS -60 wouldn't entertain them and...

Do any of you guys use a dremel for cutting tiles or mosaics? If so, can you recommend which blade or blades to get. and rate on a 1-10 of how practical you think it is. Mixture of glass, ceramic and porcelain..... Oh, and the steel coated marble. I know other better cutters are available, but...

Has anyone got any recommendations for a decent tool to cut and mitre metal tiletrims?..I've tiled a kitchen today with 5 lengths of metal trim with about 20 mitred corners using a broken plastic mitre box and a junior hacksaw...needless to say it wasn't enjoyable!

I was just having a look through all the pics on my phone and thought I'd start a thread for us all to show off those tricky cuts we have to do, these aren't the trickiest admittedly but, it's a good place to start

This may seem and odd question...but when I did a tiling training course, we were taught when cutting out say a piece to make a tile look like an "L" ie cutting block out of a corner, was to use a wet cutter to cut shortest cut and score the longest and use nippers to snap it off. Due to...

Was just getting my tools out of the garage ready for tiling to start this weekend and I'm embarrassed to say that I've discovered my manual tile cutter isn't big enough to cut the 300x600 ceramic tiles I've got. I can't quite believe I've now got to go and spend even more money on this project...

Is it possible to cut, shorten and join the black bit of a ufh wire? Cheers

I'm tiling kitchen walls with large format tiles, 600 X 200 ceramic with a middle 'border' row of 600 X 150 glass tiles. Glass tiles are about 8mm thick. for the 'U' shaped socket holes can I get away with cutting the sides and scoring across to break the hole out? I'm wondering if the glass is...

Hi, We have tried cutting some porcelain wall tiles many times to get a hole cut for pipes and other pieces in the bathroom, but no luck with a drill or angle grinder. The tiles are just too brittle and keep cracking. The tile shop have said we need to get the tiles sent for waterjet cutting...

Hi I have previously tiled with ceramic tiles but this is my first foray into the world of glass tiles. I'd be grateful for any tips or advice on what I'm planning to do with regards to cuts. The tiles I have chosen are Fired Earth, the Liquid Glass range. They are 8mm thick and have a painted...

Anybody know what Bore size refers too, Ebauer used to do a disc with 22.2mm bore size, that has been surpassed by a 22.23mm Is that .2 to .23 going to make the fit to the wet cutter sloppy? Cheers

I don't use them,but thinking I should start when cutting and mixing. ive had 2 bathrooms to do this week,1 marble,1 travatine and as it was 5 flights up in a posh building I had to do the cutting and mixing in a room in the house. Come the end of the week I'm choked with the cold for the 3rd...
