Cutting 900x900 Tiles - TilersForums.com

[vala]

It's looking like I'll be using 900x900, 10mm thick slate tiles for my wetroom.
Can anyone recommend a tile cutter which would suffice? I'd like something with a guide to get any edges straight if that's possible.

Wouldn't Like slate in a wet room. Might look ok, but will be an absolute pig to keep clean.

What you fixing to?

You will need to watch what products you use in the shower and if you are in a hard water area that can make the slate not look good after a few months.

Plan is to use the following slate tiles

I do intend to seal the slate after it's been laid.
I have Orbry boards covering the ceiling, walls and floor. The slate will be fixed directly to the Orbry boards on the walls.
On the floor electric UFH will be laid, followed by a circa 2-3mm covering of SLC, before the tiles go on.

Angle grinder tends to get to hot and chip slate badly.
I always wet cut.

Anyone ever used a jigsaw (with specific blade) to cut slate tiles?
