Mitering Dado tiles

[qizmaster]

Gentlemen!..Thank you dearly for all your very constructive advice with this..
Will a Dremmel grinding attachment do you think?

one thing you need to remember when doing an external mitres is your field tiles wont match your borders if you have started with a whole tile on the external edge.
you have to mitre the border before you know where the field tiles can start.

The joints on Dado tiles don't have to match up with the field tiles all the time..it still looks ok with a offset joint.....

true but if the rest of the room match it can look odd if the exs dont.
talking the customer into brickbond borders will help with this problem i also think borders look better this way.

Over the years I,ve seen on bigger sites where they don,t mitre just run into the corner trim. The reason being is the public could catch scratch thereselfs on the mitres, perhaps when leaving a pub toilet and falling against the wall cutting theirselves or rip clothing and claim for damages. Sounds silly but that is what happens

Gentlemen is there a video demonstrating the actual method of mitre cutting dado ceramic tiles for both internal and external nitres?

First of all welcome to the forum, you might like to introduce yourself to everyone in the new members area also.

You will have to wet cut these tiles, and to prevent chipping make sure you have a good blade when cutting...
