Mitre Wiz

Hi GaryC,

I like the mitred edge...I think it looks stylish and is more practical than trim. I'm actually working on an invention which will make cutting mitred edges a whole lot simpler. It's called the Mitre Wiz and it attaches to any grinder. You simply run it along the edge of a tile and it cuts a perfect 45 degree angle. It's a much simpler and safer way to mitre cut a tile.

Please don't confuse this for spam, this is not an advertisement...the product is not for sale...it's an idea I have been working on for many years with my Father who is a professional tiler and I would be keen to see what professional and DIY tilers think of it. Here is a short 40 second video of the tool in action:


Thank you, any feedback would be much appreciated.

P.S Good luck with your job garyc - i would go for mitred edges - they don't show the wear and tear like trims and they look great - but then again, i might be a little bias. :smilewinkgrin:

Re: Tile trim or mitre cutting

Looks like a handy add on.. the video makes it sound so easy but we know it isn't that easy but it will deffo help...

If i had one i would use it over the wetsaw but only with the use of the correct blade.. you could do with stating this , as normal type blades ( continuous rim) will only cut certain materials and some only cut wet.. so the use of a suitable dry cutting blade is required.

I would like the "Mitre Wiz" if it would make me some money... £££
Just of to my bedroom to invent the "polish wiz"
Natural stone edges do not have to be highly polished, but some degree of polishing looks fine.

P.S idea looks good, hope you can sell it... do not take my comments too seriously.
just a personal preference

I think that bit of kit would make you some money if you could see further than the end of your nose.

That looks interesting,
A few points I would like to bring up,
In the video it appears you are cutting ceramic tiles, how would this work with much harder porcelain tiles or fagile stone, These would normally need to be cut "wet"
The blade facing up looks to me slightly dangerous.Surely if it is so good you could cut face down and cut "blind"
Dry cutting will create lots of dust and grit, this will land on the fence and be dragged along the face of the tile, possibly damaging highly polished finishes. This could be reduced by having grooves on the fence or perforations?
Just a few ideas/worries, please see it as constructive critisism, and good luck

That does look like a good toy if the price was right. Do you have any idea how much you would be looking at selling these on for?

My only reservation would be that Im not sure how much I would use this. I wouldn't mitre ceramics or natural stone as a 45 degree mitre would leave a weak edge. I would however use this on porcelain tiles and think that it could make the job a lot easier and quicker, again providing the price was reasonable.

I would agree that an attachment for a hoover would be a good idea :thumbsup:
