technical talk.......... - TilersForums.com

technical talk,
that maybe someone already knows.
I discovered a few months ago,
cutting 2/3 cm 20x120 planks.
the first photo, shows 2 pieces just cut,
the second photo is the next day,
shows a piece cut the day before,
all curved. the day before was perfect.
At first I had not made a case, I thought my freecut
he had failed the cut.
but I think cutting the tile, tension
you download and this happens, or the other way around.
I'm not a technician ....
I also wanted to say,
that not all cuts make this curvature.
if the planke is produced by a 60x120 format,
therefore three cuts of 20cm,
Curvature occurs only on the outer edges
because there is no tension in the inner edges.
since they have already been cut by a 60x120 tile.
do you understand what I wrote?

Or an engineer!
You should have fixed them immeadiately after cutting and the adhesive with pegs would have kept them straight.

You may find that a similar cut from the middle of the tile may not warp so much or at all. I think it may have something to do with the firing process and density of the material at the edges?

yes, only with small strips. big cuts does not do it

Could it be to do with the sand content (ratio of sand:clay)? More sand=more warping
