Cutting glass mosaic - TilersForums.com

Hi, Ive got a Vitrex tile cutter which is very good but I need to cut mosaics lengthways, is there anything suitable i can use as the vitrex is not suitable for a straight line ?

You should have built the cill up to full tiles

Hi and thanks for reply, I didn't think about that, thank you for advice, I will have to remove them from the sill and re-do them again, bit of a pain but it needs to a good finish. Will they come off easily ?

We don't know but it will be worth it!
Perhaps just taking the edge tile off will allow the right height then just tile on tile on the cill.

Use a diamond blade in a grinder suitable for glass

Diamond polishing pads that go on grinder.
Watch out for finder tips though

Cutting those thick glass mosaic, it can be tricky not to chip the backing which is often visible from the front

Hi, would it be good idea just to cut backing first and then fully cut from the face?

Or you could use a ring saw!
