Tiles chipping when cut

Jan 20, 2017 22 Replies

I'm assuming that like a table saw its possible to raise or lower the blade. So that each tile is cut in two passes

- possibly in a batch. The first pass dry with the reservoir emptied if necessary to a depth of 2mm, the second pass set to the thickness of the tile.

Never seen that on an electric tile cutter.

I've used one like this:

It will cut sheets of porcelain mosaics at any angle, and you can safely plunge cut in stages. You still get tiny amounts of chipping with relief patterned tiles, but usually less than about 0.2mm and not very visible.
