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?

 

[salmonfisher]

dont think it can be done

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?

Good job Grumps, i thought i was missing a trick not being able to mitre a tile on a dry cutter myself!

 

[Grace'sDad]

Phew! That would have been embarrasing if I'd not known after all this time.:joker:

 

[ryanbrown]

yep, i was looking to cut 45 degree angles for window reveals instead of using trim, but i was wondering if there was a way of doing it without using a wetsaw.
Can the Montolit masterpiuma 63 do that? or can these sort of cuts only be done on a wet saw?

 

[Grace'sDad]

Only on a wet saw.

I'm a Montolit man myself, but I'm not aware of any accessories for the Montolit dry cutter range which can do mitre/jolly cuts. I normally dislike Rubi, but they do have a cutting accessory for that purpose..

45° Punching Tool @ BuyBrandTools

You score the back face of the tile repeatedly with it.

i have done it with the old rubi cutters used to have a 45 deg cutter with ts 30 40 60 but it don't work very well was better with a chisel and rasp thats how i used to do it everything miterd ete

 

[Grace'sDad]

So are those punching tools for "scraping" out a 45degree groove in ceramics? I'd like to see one used.

I guess I stand corrected!!!

 

[MICK the Tiler]

I use my trusty old angle grinder for edge miters, takes a bit of practice but can be done as well as any wet cutter can.

 

[Perry]

mick we will have to meet and sort this out ete :lol:

 

[MICK the Tiler]

You just need a very steady hand.

Failing that the wet saw is the go. If you have to miter a cut edge, first cut the tile to size on your normal snap cutter then tidy the jagged edge with a hand diamond stone, then wet saw but don't try and cut right up to the glazed edge as it will chip just cut 1mm below it leaving enough biscuit to support the glazed edge.

only joking mate been mitering tiles for 25 years regards Pete just liked your location Brisbane Australia :joker:
