That is outstanding work as always Rainsco I love the steps
I have been doing some bathrooms with mitres recently but dont have the tooling you have
1200x 600 and 900 x 450 cut on site with a 115mm grinder and polished back with a hand polisher , filled one with resin the other with grout , just debating how to finish the last bathroom, how do you finish your mitres with glazed porcelain do you always sand back a 5mm bevel or do you sometimes keep them sharp?

nice garry,

i don´t use the miller very often. i just use it when i have lot of stairsteps and can work at home. on site i use the wet cuter (for mitre) and sand the mitres exact with a 100 grid diamond dry pad to edge and then i use a aggressive 50 grid diamond dry pad to do the rest but not to close to the edge. if i don´t glue the mitres the tile is ok out of the wet cutter. if i glue the mitres i have to sand.

i try to get porcelain with a core in colour of the glaze. if its not, i say the customer just a normal groat mitre is possilbe or on stairs we have to work with rails.

here is a projekt with glazed porcelain. i mixed the glue from akepox grey/green with a white colour paste. the core of the tile is a little bit darker so i think i bevel it very sharp.

when you look at the wet cutter. the table is more than 45 degrees. and then i sand it to edge with the grinders. its supersave and fast.

I've hired the 1.25m cutter from my supplier and thats a Kaufmann, cuts like a knife through butter, might try one next time

Is that from STS by any chance John?

Love the work in that tray Gary !:hurray:
Whats happening with a screen? I usually get a standard wet room glass panel, sit it place, mark the bath edge with masking tape. Then, get the side that goes against the bath, either etched sand blasted or, a colour coded backing to match the tiles.

the glass is being sat on the bath and cut in around the panel ,the company will mitre the corner and bond the corner , I haven't seen their work but by all accounts they are one of the best around

Profilers...

I tried the profiling mitre wheel and it's too slow and you can damage the edge of the mitre , tried it a few ways,first I tried to use it on its own it just is too slow that way , they I hand cut the mitre with a grinder then used the profiler to finish it but want happy with the mitre on glazed porcelain as it left too much on the edge so I had to finish them off with the polisher
