Porcelenosa mosaics!

[59peejay]

What is the best way to cut these imitation mosaics,(a) when cutting along the manufactured grout lines and (b)at any line inbetween these lines,they are quite deep and am worried they will snap along the wrong line!,i have a small electric cutter and a desent Rubi dry cutter,thanks.

The Rubi will cut them fine, be it on a joint or in-between.

As above, my sigma cuts fine, they are 1 mm joint eh?

My vernier says 1.25mm deep,which if you think about it is a good deep score line but i suppose it depends on what line the breaking pressure is applied to!,i could try some cuts on one tile to see for myself,just thought maybe someone had experience with these.

On the odd occasion that I've had one of these type of tile not break along the grout line I've marked the back of the tile and scored and snapped it that way, doesn't happen often but that's one way around the problem.

I haven't used the Porcelainosa ones, but on others, i've found that if i score near the grout line, they won't break on my score, but if i'm further into the tile, it's all good!

Never had a problem with these, my sigma cuts them like a knife through butter !
