L shaped cuts - TilersForums.com

[Ian]

This has come up a couple of times recently so I took a couple of pics when I was doing one today, hope it helps a couple of people.

Score the 2 lines on dry cutter, then make a diagonal cut into the corner using a wet cutter or grinder.

Then put the tile back into the dry cutter an snap the 2 pieces out.

Hey presto, an nice clean L cut with no chipping.

How I do it bri, but make a 3rd score cut from point to point where the first two meet the edge then snap off the triangle. Will save those diamonds on your grinder

Very thin glaze, none of the biscuit is showing so I'm confident when grouted it will not be seen

That was quite an old wheel with a light score, I'll take a pic tomorrow of what a new wheel did! Not pretty! Reminded me of the porcelanosa ceramics where the glaze 'popped' for about a minute after scoring, don't know if you've ever fitted those.

Then I wouldn't have been able to see my cut marks, it would have been messy :lol:
