Tiles made from titanium!

[fido69r]

I bought some of wickes urban grey ceramic floor tiles with a view to laying them this week. However, I needed to make a few cuts using the hand tile saw, which I have used many times with ease. Will the saw make a dent in these tiles...No...It defo says they are ceramic, but I'm totally baffled with this phenomenon. Any ideas would be welcome. I don't have an electric wet saw, incase anyone suggests it.

You need a better or new cutter ?

 

[fido69r]

No, it's a brand new bit. Whereby it has cut through other ceramics with ease, it's as if I'm using a file and getting nowhere.

If you have a grinder, get a diamond tile blade for it, will easily cut thru ceramic

I know the tile. It's a low-grade porcelain.
You will only cut them with a diamond blade, in a wet saw or grinder, or a half-decent tile cutter (even a Rubi will probably manage)

Could I use disc in a drill and get away with it?

 

[Flintstone]

Didn’t know you could get a disc in a drill. Do you own a grinder?

 

[fido69r]

No, haven't got one.. Might be cheaper to change the tiles, I'm thinking...although it's only small cuts from skirting to door threshold.

Grinders can be had for £15 and a blade for £10.
The only outcome I can imagine from a blade in a drill is a long wait in A&E and a feeling of deep regret!

.. Nice one.. You can tell I haven't used one before then..where can I find a grinder for that price then..I have been looking on eBay.
