hello rob,do you have a wet cutter?

do you have any pics of the cuts you are trying to do

 

[Rob01]

yeah ive got a wet cutter sorry no pics the cuts are going from centre of both going around so one to the left and 1 to the right with the spacer in the middle of those if that makes sense :s thanks

after you have marked the tile, lightly run your grinder over the mark, then from edges of tile , run grinder through to the mark in lines about 10 mm apart , then you will be able to snap them of then tidy up the edges with grinder or tile snips

Thanks i will try that i was coming in from one end i did lightly gov over tile with grinder but came in at one end so will try that thanks

A good blade on your grinder will help, don't use one thats meant for wet cutting only. Or it could be blunt.

its pritty much a new blade think ive used it on about 4 tiles.

can you not remove ped and wc and sit them on the tiles??

I tend to score the line with a hand held scribe then cut lines in from the edge like a fan.
