Best blade for steel tile trim? - TilersForums.com

[Redgoddess]

Hello guys, I'm new to the forum

So you know my skill level.., I'm currently training at a Construction school in wall & floor tiling, due to qualify in June 2021.

Next month, I'm tiling my brothers kitchen and he wants a steel trim fitting. I will be using a hacksaw and mitre block to make the cuts. My question is, which blade is best to cut steel trim? I've seen you can get flexible blades and the usual stiff blades, bi metal etc... and I'm confused as to which blade will do the best job?!

Bi-metal is fine and a file to dress any small bits up. 👍
