Hi all,


As some of you know, I'm in my 7th week, of 16, on a Wall & Floor tiling course; lvl 2 Diploma.

Though this might not answer the question, I soon learned that the gap in between the 'planks' of the aluminium 'Step-Up', was perfect to slip a 150mm^2 tile in to create perfect slim 8mm, and less, wide pieces.

So, there's a tool that someone can invent; a Ste-up/Trestle with an adjustable plank. Or, does it exist already?

...Ray.

Are you in the correct thread ?.. ..your answer makes no sense at all..

try scribing the first 75mm at each end without coming off the tile then a single scribe to break, or scribe another line 10-15mm onto the waste and take this off carefully with your snips after snapping it in the machine, if it veers off it should stop at the first proper cut line

Its simple Andy. Buy a proper manual tile cutter:

@Andy Allen: Yeah, I guess I could have made myself clearer.

So, the piece you quote is me saying, I'm not a pro tiler.

Otherwise, my findings were that, after scribing a tile, the best method, for a full length clean break, was to slide the tile in the tight gap between the two planks of the step-up trestle(we have in the training centre) with the scribed line just visible.

I have produced some very narrow, unbroken cut-offs.
