Cutting notches in porcelain floor tiles
I need to cut a notch roughly 100mm x 25mm on the edge of a glazed porcelain floor tile. What would be the best way to do this without chipping the glaze.
Cut small fingers with a wet tile saw or
cut the 25mm slots with a wet tile cutter then run a diamond blade in a grinder along the 100mm length?
If I did use a 4 1/2 blade in a grinder any tips for getting it straight?
cheers

Re: Cutting notches in porcelain floor tiles
Score the shape with a dry cutter then use a wet cutter to cut slots, less chance of chipping, then use nippers to get rid of waste

Re: Cutting notches in porcelain floor tiles
As above..... 2 wet cuts and a snap - job done. If you're not too confident with nibblers then yes, several cuts,
and just nibble them off, making sure to score all lines first
Each mistake is another step to perfection
