dewalt d24000 - am i stupid?

[leesfarm07]

Bought a dw24000 before xmas and have only just come to trying it out. Straight cuts are fantastic even a 1mm slice. But when I want to cut out a piece to say go aroung a corner (ie a cut from one direction then a cut at 90 deg from the other direction) i am left with the bit of tile still in the corner of the cut due to the sweep of the blade. Obviously when doing this cut on a normal table wet saw the blade is the other way up so you dont get this problem. Am I being thick here or is there a way around this?:iamwithstupid:

Not sure about the Dewalt as I've never had or used a one, but I generally keep my hand grinder close by to trim corners in like that

I haven't got a dewalt but you could turn it upside down?
plenty on here have one so someone will tell ya!!

You can use a grinder as mentioned above or sometimes you can trim it on the machine it's self..because the blade cuts from above and not below is why you get this..but not a problem at all..

This is way to do it on the saw..

Use your nippers to nip the excess out.

I sometimes just tap it out with the chisel end of my hammer
