Tile Cutter

[Lesgrandepotato]

Been tiling the bathroom this weekend and taking a borrow of my builders tile cutter. It’s one of these https://www.buybrandtools.com/acatalog/rubi-dc-250-electric-tile-cutter-230v.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvtfQqsSW1wIVhBbTCh151QiQEAQYCyABEgLIKfD_BwE

about £800 quids worth but what a piece of kit. Suspect you could probably buy one and sell on for a couple of hundred loss. 

 

if I had more to do I’d be buying one myself. 

I do love a decent bit of kit.

Tiling looks nice. 

Have you noticed any chipping on cut edges. 

[Lesgrandepotato]

No chipping at all, lovely clean cuts with the cutter with a few light passes.

Same model. EBay about £550-600 finishing tomorrow.

One too far for me this time. I only have a splashback and a windowsill still to do.

Or a slightly smaller one in the range, more used, for about £300.

Might be worth it for someone.

What is the windowsill treatment?

 

In my bathroom for the LBB I am running Multipanel up to the pvcu frame using external corners round the opening.

The sill is a slate matching the floor, notched into the wall tiles to give an overlap like outside :-) 

 

Possibly easier to see here.

Intestng, I am doing my kitchen splashback and windowsill using sliced up 600x600 porcelain floor tiles in a contrast colour to a fairly monochrome kitchen.
