1st big porc job..

[Rookery]

I wouldn't wet cut straight cuts.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Where are you from as im sure someone could borrow you a dry cutter as it would be much quicker

 

[dboden]

The tiles for one wall have like a wavy surfaced finish!!
I,m sure this would hinder that idea!
But a dry cutter would help with other walls.
I am Nottingham.

Hire or borrow a dry cutter for the long cuts, will save you time ad money against your other option of wet cutting them all. Cant see a problem with getting your 'L' cuts on the plasplugs if you have a decent blade on it, on cuts where the cut edge of the tile will be hidden (like under skirts etc) then i personally would be using my grinder with the appropriate blade it it for porcs. Take your time setting out and take your time tilling it, run your straight edge over the face of the tiles after every tile to ensure it's flat horizontal and vertical. i would be using a 10mm notch and back buttering.

Good luck

Job complete... Went really well, thanks for the loan of your rubi Bri, much appreciated, top bloke. Didn't use a wet cutter at all.. Rubi and grinder... Learnt a lot on this job, and gained a bit more confidence. All porcelain 1m planks on the floor, and both 1m on the walls, 1 with a wavy textured face!

[dboden]

Sounds right.. Porcelains on floor, walls turned out to be ceramics.
