marking your cuts

[The D]

I mark the tile. i don't use a tape I offer the tile up to the space

Bingo !! 🙂 some cuts rake , so double check

what do you mean rake Dave? I mark tile once, then take back to cutter then cut, i don't double mark when doing a cut next to a wall that i have tiled, if i need to double mark then i know I've messed up the previous wall

I mark and flip tile and then mark the opposite cut. I then mark the next tile from the corresponding mark from the previous tile. This way i only have to make one measurement per tile apart from first and last tile on row.

I mark each end by eye, also mark next tile from last, if that makes sense. No wonder my cuts never fit, I can't even explain the way I mark them.:lol:

agree, logic can sometimes overcomplicate a situation but that's just the way my mind works i suppose

Snap John, I think you explain it better than me. But as above mostly, very rarely use a tape.

Nothing better than the human eye, better than any machine
