Sorry, it’s a Mafell MT55, a better version of the Festool ts55
Cheers
John..
Yes I know it
nice!
No!
Well in my experience they’re just not up to it, and in truth if you want a pristine cut, which I’m guessing you probably would, then it has to be a wet cut.
Sounds dangerous but nearly everyone I know in the large format game uses an angle grinder and a wet sponge held at the back of the blade.
Confirms to HSE, probably not!
But it does work and helps a great deal with dust suppression.
I spend a huge amount of time mitring thin tile, and cuts have to be perfect, as I’m sure you’ll understand.
Yes there is machinery available that can do it for you, but it comes at a price and is very specialised.
Thin tile work is different from regular Tiling, at a risk of getting this comparison wrong, a bit like carpentry against cabinet making.
The same, but different.
If you are that intent on perfect cuts I’d suggest buying a 1200mm mechanical cutter, using it and selling it on.
If you consider something like a sigma 3e4m, yes a big outlay, but you won’t loose more than £100 if you keep it in good condition. You’ll sell it in an instant at that price. Highly sort after second hand.
Then if you have L cuts, you could consider waterjet cutting them all at once.
Hassle yes, perfect? absolutely.
It depends on the level of finish you want to achieve.
Even we get certain pieces waterjet cut.
This is what I do on a day to day basis.
