Discuss 600 x 600 Tile Tricky Cut? in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

Hey, I did a plan of how I will lay my tiles. I found one cut that seems tricky. I highlighted the cuts in green. How would I need to go about cutting that shape, how would you do it without breaking/chipping the tile?

just cut the 3 lines with an angle grinder. Ideally, place the tile on a patch of grass. The grass and soil will minimise the vibrations whilst cutting. Cut the face of the tile, then turn the tile over and cut from the back (where the corners meet). I'm assuming they are floor tiles and the cut edges will be covered by skirting or tile.

Yes floor tiles. Skirting is already there. I don't have a garden, but can probably recreate what you are suggesting with substitute materials and place the tile on that.
