[Diamond Pool Finishers]

lay a tile over the nearst full tile and scribe the cut allowing for joint, instead of mesuring it!!

[diamondtiling]

Me because I am old.

[whitebeam]

Measure all the time gooner

[diamondtiling]

I flip it over and mark the back, then follow the marks around to the face, nice and neat.

[redmist6]

measure and measure again...with my BIG T tape...i swear by them...

[puddle]

[merlecollins]

Always have and probs always will do the same

[brinkley]

mark the tile unless they are big ones then measure

[jay]

always mark top edge to top of cut bottom edge to bottom then cut only really measure on steps riser and tread

[Daz]

I nearly always flip and mark.
It's only very large format and delicate, unsealed stone that I get the tape measure out for.

[mikethetile]

like the others flip and mark

[Tecnik2000]

When it needs to be close like a wavy ceiling it has to be a scribe for me,parallel cuts are easier to measure ...Bit of both

[fergy7197]

[jamie B]

[Ajax123]

When I did my back passage I made a template and laid it over the tiles and marked them sort of like gooner suggested. It worked a treat. A tip I picked up off the interweb. I could not flip and mark the backs cos the walls were way off square.

As above, flip and mark. As the tiles get larger though it seems I do get the measure out more often

[Dave]
