How do you do it? Use a tape or ruler then mark each end or place the tile next to the cut and mark the tile?

i use a rule and obv a pen/pencil lol, either take a size or mark the tile

Tape, measure the two ends, then minus spacer size + 2mm. So if a cut is 300mm and I'm using a 3mm spacer, cut at 295mm.

sorry Jamie, just to clarify, how do you transfer the required measurement to the tile? Tape measure or just place tile next to cut then flip tile for other side and mark

place tile next to cut mark it, then flip tile for other side and mark

Bingo !! some cuts rake , so double check
