Hi, picture above is of a Grohe concealed mixer unit. It actually 90deg to shown. 4 tiles will intersect at the centre. Tiles are 9mm ceramic and are approx 500 x 250. What is the best method of getting the neatest cut ?
I have at my disposal, Rubi flat bed wet cutter, Rubi TS50, Makita angle grinder with Marcrist diamond blade, Shaw circle cutter, parrot nippers etc...
Advise please....
Cheers Rich
 
I would personally use tile nippers on ceramic tiles but a grinder will do it quicker if you are handy enough.
 
I would make a few cuts in with the wet saw,( like teeth on a comb) break off these slivers, and tidy it up with nippers.
Btw it doesn't need to be too tidy, as the chrome faceplate will cover any roughness, just make sure the tiles are within 5mm of the blue cover (I think its 5mm from memory, Its marked on your label)
 
Would you use a standard blade or a special cupped one. I think I have a marcrist CK850.
