How Do You Mark Yours

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Hi All

just wondering how you mark your tiles, for cutting both on wet saw and manual cutter, I use wipe board coloured marker pens, but want a finer tip for making closer cut tiles,
Ideas Please??

Thanks

Do they wash off polished porcelain?

Dont recall having a prob , generally though anything with a mark on is on the offcut.

Edit: Or as I say , I mark to take the line out.

I always cut up to my marked line, so it is on the bit I use. That way I know my cut, if not perfect, is on the big side and be made smaller. And if showing signs of micro chipping from the chosen cutting method/tool it can be cleaned up with the Makita and end up the right size.
Many marker's do not come of polished porcelain very easily, beware.....

Yes, sorry just realised you were talking about polished porcelain.

Sharpies are better tho definitely.

Thanks for that. Seems there's a lot better ways to mark than the way I was doing it.

Sharpies or pencil.

If I can't see the mark when using the we saw I use masking tape.

In my pockets I keep a pencil, a sharpie and a Berol fine point ohp pen.
depending on what I'm cutting - one of these will do the job.

Pencil and a good sharpener for a good point.

Always use chinagraph pencils in black and white,they don't stain and won't wash off in the wetcutter

When you say makita, which tool are meaning, I would use a rubbing stone.
