them stupid

[prceramics]

mosaic tiles the ones where its a whole tile with the mosaic grooves in it ! got a top floor flat to do is there a way of cutting them without going down 4 flights of stairs to wet or angle grind them ?

 

[cam_low]

Buy a small wet saw ?

 

[White Room]

Get a plastic tray to put the wet cutter in....

Dry cut them

They will dry cut, just depends how close to the grooves you need to cut. Sometimes the nibblers are needed.

 

[John Benton]

I've dry cut them once but then again the depth of the groove was minimal

 

[prceramics]

cant get the rubi wheel to fit in the grooves and its a really high end flat where any dust or mess will be a no no think the stairs is the only way

If the grooves accept grout then you can piece them instead of checking out with a wet saw. Usually don't even need scribed - just break them on the groove.

Yeah no scoring needed, just snap if the cut is on the grooves.

have you tried one on the rubi?

Yeah works a treat, normally use my tr60 for them. I think I must have a freak collection of rubi cutters, as I don't seem to have any problems with them :lol:

Yours must have been limited edition Italian models Bri.

Didn't mean you Bri, I was asking PRC. I haven't fixed these for a while but my old TS cut them no problem. What is it with you and freaky collections, Rubis....Leather pants......What else???.:lol:

have not tried to break on the groove will give it a go last time i used them was just a feature block so only had 4 cuts witch done with a grinder this time its 6 m2 of splashback i know will have to grind round the sockets but would be nice if i could snap the rest

I've always dry cut these and found them fine as well.
