Do you polish them back with the diamond hand pads?
I must say I'm very impressed do u mark the angle on the tile in pencil

Use them for minor adjustments Andy,
typically 50# & 100#

No mate, just by feel.
That makes me wanna get the grinder out and have a go at some rite now

I guess the mitre angle isn't important as long as it's more than 45

Haha it's just repetition Kyle, I've done a massive amount over the last year.
Just don't get too near the top edge or you'll blow the front out.
Its better if you can keep the blade cool too.

Dead right mate, if you go too far tho Andy, the finished corner is very brittle.
You end up with an edge which is much wider than the thickness of the tile, does that make sense?
I can miter anything upto about 700 on my wet cutter but I still want a go by hand

I've always mitred porcelain tiles when tiling into a sloped ceiling. Just the same but a bit more refined

I've never found mitring on a wet saw to be any good tbh. And I've tried many types of blade. Never stay true.

Do you mean where the tile meets the skeiling, that's the bit you mitre, the top of the Tile?

wet cutter is just no good, much more accurate by hand and quicker
only time a wet cutter helps is to put a good edge on a cut if that's got to be mitred

Agreed mate, not for the lack of trying tho Julian.
Got a fine grit profiling wheel for that profiling tool coming soon, turns out it came supplied with the medium grit,and was too aggressive.
Determined to make it work! Haha

Cheers Lee.
I'm still searching for the balance tho of speed and skill when it comes to that level of work.

Can't say I've tried one of the larger sigma wet cutters kyle, just can't see me balancing a piece of 2m tile tho trying to mitre it! Haha

It can't realistically be done, as much as I love Sigma that's a stretch!

Cheers Craig, yeah I think it's definitely the look that will eventually become the norm in certain properties, a lot of developers seem to be taking it up.
It would be almost impossible lol
Really neat job Marc!
Could be a nightmare though, imagine hitting 3 or 4 sockets off of the 1 tile?!
