give it to my labourer to cut ,lol........

i use angle grinder, but allways use masking tape (stops from chipping tile) and allways mark by pen and not pencil (much more accurat)

 

[widler]

depends on the cut and the tile really,either scribe and snap or grind or use wet cutter and nips

i understand we talking about curved perfect cuts around shower base etc.

i mean, how would you cut curve with wet saw? ( let say we have curved shower tray)

Never tried with a grinder, but sounds like it'd be worth a go.

For quadrant showers, toilets etc I do a few lines up to the curve on the wetsaw, break off with the nippers and then nip the remaining shape out. Can get it nice and neat although if the grinder with a curved blade was able to do it in half the time then I'd be all for it.

I think for wet cut they cut teeth and snap

 

[White Room]

I think the curved cutting was in general practices...
