Mosaic tiles
I have bought 300mm x 300mm mosaic ceramic tiles, not on the net backing but solid. I want to use some of these for behind the sink and the remainder cut to make a border for around the room. the remaining walls will be white tiles.
Whats the best way to cut the 300mmx300mm tiles, electric saw or manual tile cutter, I want the straightest edge and cut between the individual mosiacs.

Re: Mosaic tiles
You should be able to snap them on a joint on your dry cutter and then dress the edge on the wet cutter.

Re: Mosaic tiles
what you will need to do is attach least 5/8" ply on the bottom side of the table or under the opening then use tile adhesive (any lowes or home depot has this) to glue your tiles down allow 24hr for the gasses of the adhesive to dry out of the adhesive then purchase the color of grout you want to fill void between tile (this is purchased at the same places as above) apply this with a dense sponge or grouting float and wait 24hr and you will have a new table. I make tile top tables from scratch. Good luck and have fun.
