Tile Saw Chipping Edges

Welcome to the home improvement new year s resolutions.

Tile saw chipping edges.

As mentioned owning a wet saw is not economically feasible. However you might as well come across certain situations where you need to weigh the pros and cons and use a wet saw for cutting a porcelain tile. To notch the tile follow these steps. Cutting slowly with a good blade on a well aligned wet saw gives the best results but in my experience there will always be some minor chipping.

Set your blade so that this time it will cut through the whole remaining thickness of the tile. Push the tile into the saw blade approximately 1 or 2 inches. If you layout any tiles for a floor or wall space be sure to install those tiles with cut edges nearest to the edge away from any middle areas. Push the tile into the blade along the shallow.

Firmly press the edge of the glass cutter or carbide. That way even with chipping you most likely won t be able to tell or even see it especially if it gets covered up by moulding. Turn the saw on. Make sure the tile doesn t touch the blade before doing this.

Now you are going to make the notch. Place the tile on the platform with one end of the mark where you will make the cut facing the blade but don t touch. Work carefully to avoid chipping the this year nothing will stop you. There are several methods for cutting tiles by hand without a tile cutter using a cutting tool such as a glass cutter.

Try these suggestions out. Replace damaged tile cut out the grout around the edges of the damaged tile with a grout saw or scrape it out with an old screwdriver. A wet tile saw cuts tiles made of ceramic and porcelain leaving a clean smooth edge. Before using any tool to cut tile measure the glazed side of the tile to determine where you need to make the cut.
