Hi,
I am currently tiling my bathroom. To help me in the task I have bought an electric tile cutter (550W) from Wickes. Looking at other posts here it seems to be a fairly standard thing - water trough in bottom, fence etc.
My intention was to cut 'mitered' edges at the external corners of the room so that: a) no unglazed tile edges are visible b) no need for plastic edging strip.
So, I have tilted the plate to 45degrees and I'm trying to saw this edge - but it ALWAYS cracks right at the end of the cut - I'm going really slow, trying to support the tile all the way, but it still happens.
Any ideas how I can get a perfect cut?
The plate only tips in one direction, which seems to be a bit limiting when the machine is on the floor - I need to make cuts in the opposite direction so this seems a bit limiting to me.
Any ideas on getting around these problems?
Thanks in advance
