Tiler Tip.
Corner cut-outs with the Tile Cutter.
This particular teqnique for doing cut outs is especially good when working with larger format tiles around windows and doors, as well as cutting around kitchen cuppboards and external corners on floors. It helps reduce time taken cutting with the angle grinder or wet cutter and also reduces chipping when doing a series of longer cuts, it is quite easy to do and can be mastered in a very short period of time. It will increase your productivity and improve the final finish of your work. So enough of the CHIT CHAT and onto the trick.
1. Mark the position of the cut- out on the tile (Refer to Attachments)
2. using the angle grinder cut the shortest side of the cut-out
3. place the tile on your tile cutter and score from the edge of the tile til you meet the grinder cut, then using the breaker bar snap tile as you would on a full straight cut.
4. clean up any waste left in the corner with your nips or angle grinder, Then check for fit.
