Architrave cutting using the Fein Multimaster - TilersForums.com

Here you go Mr Tiler,

Get the height for the cut by running a level off the tiles already fixed. I find I piece of cardboard works well to replicate the adhesive thickness

Then cut out (leave tiles in place while cutting as a guide for the blade)

Mark the tile and cut it

Then fit the tile

I think it was tile measurements, lol! Tile + spacer was 597mm, so those 2 numbers are 4 and 5 tiles :lol: The amount of times I've written a phone number on an off cut, or the floor and then lost it or tiled over it is ridiculous :lol:

The only thing that could really go wrong is cutting too much out, that's why you should always fit the adjacent tile before cutting, to give you the correct height.

Had to change the thread title in each post, just incase anyone wondered why they had a post edit PM!

 

[Mr T]

No worries mate thanks for the effort

Also, make sure you have a good fein blade. Needed to make 4 cuts in oak. No chuffing blade. So I improvised, and cut a new set of teeth onto an old blade. Did the job fine.

Gotta watch out though for hidden cables, especially alarm cables before you go Fein crazy!
Ace piece of kit.
