Hi Guys Mitring Tiles

[Old Mod]

Been mitring porcelain ,whatever you use ,has small chips hard to do for anyone

Don't understand why u get chipping?
Tile only chips if it starts to break out cos you're too close to the face of the tile.
Are u trying to cut a mitre through the face to cut the tile to size at the same time?

I don't follow you.
So you're not mitring a full tile, but part way thro it?

Yeah kinda haha
Still not sure how they're chipping.
U shouldn't be that close to the face, first u undercut along the edge to about 2-3mm away from face, then polish the final bit off , so that u stop a mm from the face. No chips.

That'll be interesting to see, is the cutting head fundamentally the same as the mitre tool we make? i.e. vacuum brazed diamond?

To be fair the one we make is designed for stone and the feedback we've had is it's great on marble etc but can be just too slow on porcelain and it seems quite hit and miss as to what the finish is like.
