    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    No reason to my friend. But know, I do blame you for every bad tile I get from Italy, you guys can't even make buildings that stand up straight, a square tile is a big jump.😉

    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    It is hibernating season. Everyone gets grumpy quickly as I did, and I apologize for that. Bowed tiles and frozen water lines to the saw are not what I asked Santa for, yet here we are. Again, I apologize for my poor attitude, long day.

    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    I am getting a little tired making bad tiles look good. Antonoio, your tiles are garbage. Customers tell me they paid alot so it should look good. I can't make a poop look like a happy brunch.

    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    If those are leftover or not yet installed tiles, open a box and examine a few to see if the scratches are there as well. That should help get it sorted.

    Urgent help; scratches on ceramic tiles

    Looks like it occurred after the tiles were set, it's like the scratch patterns span across multiple tiles.

    My 1st Job I need help :(

    Are you doing the shower pan as well? You can prime and set over well bonded wall tiles, but not the shower tray. Pictures make all of our day better.

    MyBuilder, CheckaTrade, or Yell? - Which is best?

    Thinking about this more really makes me mad. I am not sure how it works for you guys, but they have advertising on the TV here talking about how their contractor walked the dog because they were running late. Winds me up good.

    The ones I have used charge you for the pleasure of visiting a tire kicker just looking for numbers. Never again.

    Husqvarna Ts 230

    If you have people who cant follow a pencil line and make a straight cut, the saw or cutter isn't the problem.

    Husqvarna Ts 230

    As JCR said, score and snap cutter is the way to go. Grinders are time consuming trips outside. Ofcourse a good snap cutter like montolit or sigma can cost almost as much as a wet saw.

    Husqvarna Ts 230

    The dewalt although loud is a great saw. I bought a husqvarna right after they bought out target and was not impressed at all with the quality of the finish, though that was ts 250. Never liked the table top saws, maybe the briccolina, but overall not a fan of saws like that.
