Not sure what you mean around the window, cut with rubi or wet cutter are fine upto the trim or window?

Hey

For example today I was cutting a 60cm ceramic tile around the top of the window with my dry rubi cutter. Once snapped it leaves a jagged edge which is not even. Once trim is butted up to it and a different colour grout to the tile goes in its noticeable. I sand with sand paper and an electric sander some times. I am looking for other options really. My wet cutter weighs a ton so its not practical to use one most jobs.

Why not put the good edge to the trim when you can

Yes mate but some times I have to use a wedge at the back of the stand if the floor is not level, I use an ali screed rule for longer walls.
