Anyone mitre tiles on a dry cutter?

[ryanbrown]

Can anyone recommend a manual cutter thats good at doing mitre cuts at a 45 degree angle?
Could do with a more portable one - doesnt have to have a large cutting area.

It must save a fair bit of time cutting a tile at an angle rather than cutting it straight and then putting an angle on it afterwards.

have a look at the Husqvarna's they look good cutters £125 for the 425 and £160 for the 670

I have a Husqvarna 670 at the moment - good wuality cutter but cant tilt the cutting wheel. Hopefully you can with the montolit range.
cheers people.

Now I'm REALLY confused? Mitre the edge on a dry cutter - how?!

Have I been missing something all this time?

tilting cutting wheel wont make any difference as you only scratch the top surface of the tile

Not heard of one before, but Grumpy seems to be in the know

i assumed that pressure was applied differently for it to break at an angle to achieve a mitre cut, but i think i must have misread it - it probally means cutting tiles at a 45 degree angle on a flat - for diamond patterns etc.. not tilting the cutting wheel as i thought.

I have made the assumption that he was talking about a 45% cut on the tile, not a mitre that is normally done on a wet saw, sometimes called a joggle cut I believe.

The monty will cut a various different angles across the tile if that is required. Are you talking about joining 2 tiles together around a window reveal Ryan, without a trim perhaps?
