Curved cut's...How do you do yours?

[Martino]

Just a general question....i no a few tilers that have there own way of doing these...These are the money makers so to speak!....

How do you prefer to cut your tiles...say for around a curved shower tray or a curved bay window?...

Teeth and snap or with a grinder on a angle?

 

[Dan]

Teeth and snap. Tidy with nippers and / or rubbing block. The trick is the marking I think. I used to be good at marking around loo's and pedestals and whatnot. The cutting is the easy part.

Depends on the radius of the curve and the tile.... Slight curves get cut on my TX, sharper one's wet cut and snap.

depends on curve i use grinder mostly

Grinder generally on floor tiles.

Nippers on smaller wall tiles.

Usually use my grinder. Just had a new blade delivered from trade tiler (Montolit pro-gres)' look forward to using it as heard lots of good things about them

I've just worn out a marcrist blade, it was pretty good but IMO didn't last very long
