Is that the well you tiled round Phil...

almost always use angle grinder,but as others have said marking correctly is the key.

Yes Mark, it was a very old coaching house where they had extended the kitchen into what used to be an old courtyard, the well was discovered after the old flags were lifted, the customer decided to make a feature of it. He had it re-cobbled, lights fitted and then a glass cover installed, nice talking point.

Angle grinder with a rubi csv blade, cuts any tile brilliantly without any chipping, but as above the cutting is the easy bit marking it out in the 1st place is where the real skill lays

Angle grinder and snips, got to be the easiest way but as said before the talent is in the marking.

I agree that the cutting is the easiest part and its all down to the marking!....generally use a compass to mark my tiles but ive seen these profile gauges in screwfix.. not sure how they rate compared to the compass.. what do you guys use to get the curve shape?

I usually use cardboard or lino to make a template, transfer it onto the tile, cut it and then fettle it.
