    Default perfect miters

    hello all, just want any hints and tips for miters in travatine for doing like a top which looks like its thicker than it really is, and for doing niches. ive got a dewalt tile saw and ive found the blade does wander just a tiny amount so struggling for that perfect miter. is there any special blades i could use, im using dewalt blade which is supplied with it. also is there any resins or glues that i could use to join the two piecies before sticking down? or is this a recipe for diasaster.

    My sigma 10M mitres well, Tenax is a good filler and sticks like the proverbial.

    I prefer to profile the edges, rather than mitre.

    However, if you want to mitre, ensure that you set the mitre 1 to 2 mm from the actual front edge of the tile and you should get great results from the Dewalt.

    Same as the guys profiling is much better, I use Jolly filler.
