if I'm mitring 45 dgs, I always make sure that I've got a millimetre spare from the face, ie my cut might need to be 500mm, I'll make the mitred cut 501mm then I can plane off the 1mm with my wet saw (at 90 dgs) and not have an edge like a cuttlefish.

no i dont think you are mate your local can show you no prob

Cheers for the offer Pete, i appreciate it, but i think i got it from the drawing now.

And i quite like Doug's idea of cutting slightly over then trimming back too.

Cheers guys :thumbsup:

if mrs does not want trim you have to mitre,
and if you are doing it yourself with no time constraints the two "jollys" aka "mitres" can be greater than 45 degrees so cut the tiles without touching the glazed edge then rub the angle greater than 45 without touching the glaze.

it depends on what material you are working with how long it takes but it will work in the end!
