Curved cut's...How do you do yours?

[macten]

This is from a thread I did a while ago. Jarkaflex for marking then wet saw for cutting curve.

Full tiles are down:
I place spacer to measure up to and also leave a couple of mm movement gap against obstacle.

Measure both sides:

Transfer these 2 measurements to the tile to be cut.
I then use my Jakarflex (solder wire is just as good) to replicate the curve:

Then transfer to the 2 marks on the tile made from the previous measurements:

Cut tile and it will fit every time:

I like the Jakarflex idea Nick, where do you get that from?

I use a length of flex i carry in my tiling toolbox and a similar proceedure macten applies.
I do carry a 300mm profiler tool but am finding with the larger formats these days that it's becoming more and more redundant.

I like that Nick, may have to be making a puchase

Just ordered one of those things on eBay. Could potentially save a few hours on some jobs. Good call, Macten.

This took a while, all done with the wetsaw:
