cuts
A primal cut or cut of meat is a piece of meat initially separated from the carcass of an animal during butchering. Examples of primals include the round, loin, rib, and chuck for beef or the ham, loin, Boston butt, and picnic for pork.
Different countries and cultures make these cuts in different ways, and primal cuts also differ between type of carcass. The British, American and French primal cuts all differ in some respects. For example, "rump steak" in British and Commonwealth English is commonly called "sirloin" in American English. British "sirloin" is called "porterhouse" by Americans. Another notable example is fatback, which in Europe is an important primal cut of pork, but in North America is regarded as trimmings to be used in sausage or rendered into lard. The primal cuts may be sold complete or cut further.
The distinct term "prime cut" is sometimes used to describe cuts considered to be of better quality; for example in the US Department of Agriculture meat grading systems, most use "prime" to indicate top quality.
Well, this one looks kind of interresting.. Anyone tried it?

Would need the 4.0ah 10.8v batteries, and 76mm good blades though..
Just recently bought the 18v bosch gws-125 with 6ah. Cordless is just a treat:)
Hi All. I had my 1st practice cuts with the new (second hand) cutter 2day. Although not tiling bathroom for a while I needed to get to know how the cutter works. I purchased a box of tiles 330 x 250 ceramic from wickes fully expecting to use whole box before I got it right, also some new 6mm...
Following on from Bri's thread, 'awkward cuts' I thought it would be good to see what various methods we all use for things like curves, bends and shapes / obstacles etc
Do you like to scribe around obstacles and shapes OR do you prefer to use paper/card templates or profiles gauges?
Curves...
I was just having a look through all the pics on my phone and thought I'd start a thread for us all to show off those tricky cuts we have to do, these aren't the trickiest admittedly but, it's a good place to start
Hi guys
I was wondering what the general consensus is when setting out - do you avoid slither cuts like the plague, or are they just part and parcel of the job sometimes and you don't worry about it?
As an example if you had a fairly standard bathroom, decent size ceramic tiles would you be...
Evening All.
I am envelope tiling a 1500 x 900 centre drain wet tray tomorrow with 600 x 600 tiles and am curious as to which way folk tend to cut.
On the 900 width I'll cut two 450 tiles then would anybody put in the 150 off cut out of the tray or just start with a fresh tile.
Many thanks...
Started a wet room this week normally I use mosaics on the tray but they don't do a matching one with the tile I'm using so I,was going to do envelope cuts. I've never done them! I was wondering if any of you more experience tilers could offer me some advice on how to go about setting hem up, do...

I've always been of the opinion that closing cuts are a big no no, until recently I decided to put them into jobs to help with the layout and I'm now wondering why I've been against them for so long! This is my current job, it eliminates that extra grout line to the side of the door and I don't...
Long term lurker to the forum. I usually tile kitchen splashbacks or tile for family but now im taking on a job in my own house with 2 awkward cuts. One is the 2 corners of the window arent 90degree angles and same as the door. In the upright sides, it then takes a slope into top is how i can...
Never had this before but got pulled up by a customer this week for my corner cuts not being the same size as my grout line spacers, it threw me bit as never been asked the question before so didnt really know what to say apart from that's how I've always done it.. I was using 3 mil spacers and...
Hey peeps,
New member to the forum but not to tiling, some fantastic tips and information on here :thumbsup:
My first question - Finished the floor below yesterday and it made me wonder, has anyone got tips for marking out tiles around problem areas such as toilets, pedestals etc... I have no...
As the title suggests, normally with a curved wet room screen I would advise mosaics . But the customer wants the floor tiles running into the tray.
Has anyone any ideas how to do the cuts?
Hi
I have
6 bathrooms to do with 900x330mm ceramic tiles
160m2 of 900x600mm limestone
I''ve also just completed 2 bathrooms with 1000x330mm tiles so I'm coming across a lot more larger format tiles
My question is which tile cutter do I buy to future proof myself?
I have a Dewalt D24000...
Hi Guys,
I've almost finished my first tiling job (complete bathroom) and I'm pretty pleased with it, apart from one thing - around the window.
Basically around the window is where I started laying and i made a huge mistake by thinking that the edging strips sat over the tile, not realising...
Not sure how everyone else does this but this is the way I do em.
1. Cut out for drain and lay the rest of the tray tiles.
2. Lay masking tape from the corners, mark out and number cuts with a wax crayon.
3. Cut tiles with wet saw to create a gap and polish the cut edges ( now using new...
Hi,
I was looking for a bit of advice i have read various posts on here regarding brick bond layouts and several say to avoid having slithers everywhere.
I was wondering what constitutes a slither!!
I have mocked a layout up on my PC (See below) and using a desirable starting point centred to...

Hello, I'm working on the bathroom floor and need advice on choosing a cutter to make diagonal cuts.
