Is this the best edge to expect on a cut ceramic tile?

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Most decent tilers will spend a lot of time and money researching and investing in cutters and discs that give the best possible finish when cutting tiles. I would say this guy doesn't, that said, without trying to cut one in person it's impossible to say how much better it could be.
 
Here is a Porcelanosa ceramic tile cut neatly around a niche. With the correct tools, technique and experience it is easily achievable. No excuses IMO

That looks fantastic. It's off topic and I will probably never do it but how did your get the tiles to stick on the ceiling of the niche? A high inital grab tile adhesive mixed quite thick or normal mix with a block of wood under it to support it.
 
Geoff - Why did you mitre the tops of the trims but not the bottoms?
What are you up to there?!
 
Is that the porcelanosa 11mm £60 a pop trims. Once did a bathroom with 12 of them cost a bomb.
