Vijay Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) May have some 800mm tiles that'll I need to cut. Contemplating buying a tile cutter for it but probably only got 10-15 cuts, so wondered if I could get away with an angle grinder and diamond blade or will it look crap? Any tips or recommendations on a tile cutter would massively be appreciated. Maybe something like this? https://www.screwfix.com/p/makita-cc301dwae-12v-2-0ah-li-ion-cxt-cordless-glass-tile-cutter/527fg Cheers Vijay Edited October 5, 2021 by Vijay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would you just run the blade down/along the clamped straight edge or is there an attachment? (don't think it would be too difficult to make one up if need be) Very quick google search - https://www.northantstools.co.uk/product/montolit-tutorcut-universal-guide-for-angle-grinders?gclid=CjwKCAjw7--KBhAMEiwAxfpkWBiQk_OWQNK_Z2oKsMoc4_deQjQiyA2cIE0XTqkqWoXdUkXv0aYzMxoCWvUQAvD_BwE Or https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/heres-a-cheap-but-very-effective-method-of-cutting-large-tiles-for-e-g-envelope-cut-showers.537430/ Edited October 5, 2021 by Vijay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Doesn’t need to be anything fancy, I use a piece of ply or timber (I do have a big sliding tile saw but the grinder is much more convenient for a few cuts). dont scrimp on the blades tho, cheap ones often run out of true and chip edges much easier Edited October 5, 2021 by markc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
