Not on this occasion Kyle, used a glass speed cutter and a pair of flashline breakers.

how did u miter them ? m14 attachment ?

M14 attachment, do you mean with a profiling wheel?
No mate, same way we always do, grinder to remove the majority, and then polish it back to the edge.
Have tried lots of different techniques, some still in the working, but ultimately, can't beat doing it by hand.
Well as I can't afford a 'bulldog' machine. Haha
I'm not even sure if it takes pieces that size anyway.

Do u use just a regular cutting disc or do u use a one of them kind of cup grinder wheels what a stone mason would use ?

Haha good for you mate.
No nothing like that, just a regular cutting disc for the removal of most of the tile.
Then the final bit is polished back.
