can you cut curves in travertine tiles?

[anhewitt]

hi there,

is it possible to cut travertine tiles on a curve? the tiles are 13mm thick and 200 x 100 in size.

With a 4 inch angle grinder with diamond blade you might.

 

[DHTiling]

YES..no probs...just use your wet cutter and cut the basic shape out, then skim cut along the blade to get the shape......takes time but can be done.....or you could use a grinder but not as accurate as a wet cutter........

 

[enduro]

Or that super wet cut machine you were looking at dave, like a band saw.

 

[DHTiling]
