Thats the one....

That's spot on..... make piano keys and snap them and nip to tidy

Could of also scored the tile with a 10mm cutting wheel from the dry cutter, then scribe the angle and remove with nips. Then a simple cut or 2 on the wet saw depending on severity of curve and remove the pieces with nips. Simple yet effective.

hope u dunt mind me saying somthing but the way a got told was 2 scribe the curve with your 10mm then ru it in2 the wet cutter 2 minimise the curve hen snap the pieces off with the nippers!!!

I'd recognise that efficient technique anywhere.
I loved the course, it taught me a lot and hopefully will (in time) provide me a new career.
