How To Cut Curves With A Wet Cutter

[Alan.P]

Use a scoring blade/rubi blade embedded into an old file handle and do a score free hand on the marked line for a curved cut onto a tile which helps when breaking the tile peices which have been wet cut

Thats the way I do them, easy as pie :8:

Thats the way i do the curves also Whitebeam,using the scoring wheel freehand .I also use a paper template to transfer the shape i want onto the tile.

I use an XT ring saw to do my inlay work in stone(like the hopi eagle I use as my avatar), best saw I have ever used for detail work, but you have to go slow to avoid chips and blade binding.
The only thing better would be a diamond band saw with a big work table, that way you have more than 9-1/2 inchs of work room to move your tile around in.
Or, if you have a spare $500 000 a waterjet just can't be beat.

What exactly is a rubi scoring blade. Is that what comes with a score and snap type of thing. The hand score and snap devices ?

A replacment blade for rubi cutter, depending on the tile

This saw is great for curved cuts.
I have one and it works great.
The blade is much thicker and it is curved as well.The arbor hole is offset about 1/2 inch so it is concave, or convex depending on which side you look at.
