Is the two pieces to be mitred cuts or whole listello border tiles?Perfect, you should be able to tilt the table of the wet saw to do mitres.
No will not damage finish on tile as long as you have a decent diamond blade on wet saw and it is not worn out and make sure there is plenty of water in tank. I would suggest holding the two border tiles together at 90 degree angles so that you can see which way the mitre on each tile will need to be cut then Place in wet saw and line up so that the blade will cut required angleCould doing this potentially damage the crackle finish on the tile?
Sorry I dont understand your question, there will be multiple outer corners where two border tiles will butt together using a mitre (hopefully!).
Given that you are installing that border on the top I would suggest you mitre them aswellThanks very much for your help.
The tile attached below will be tiled in metro style with the border along the top to finish. How would you finish these at the same outer corners?

If you have plenty of tiles and you have some broken ones use them to practice with first. Take it nice and easy and don't push too hard and let the blade do the jobThank you.
I have a very basic wet saw, a Titan saw brought from Screwfix. Looking at the manual it suggests it will cut 45 degree angles so hopefully it will work!
