L shaped tile

[jackpot]

Any advice or the best way to cut a thin (30mm) 'L shaped tile out of a full one. I have straight tile cutter for cutting off one peice. used a hand saw but this a time consuming and towards the end the tile snaps and it
p&$*ing me off. ANY help appreciated

You really need a wet-wheel cutter. Even then they often 'pop-off' at the last bit.

If this is a wall tile you want to cut, and if it were my own bathroom, I'd probably just cut two 30 mm wide straight pieces and sand their mating edges so that they fit tightly together (but still have SOME gap so that grout can get in there) and just grout the very narrow joint between them.

I have no experience with floor tiles whatsoever, so I don't know how easy it would be to sand them. Also floor tile grout is normally sanded, thereby limiting how narrow you can make that gap.

I second the advice from joe 90. Wet diamond wheel cutter for the best finish. Using an angle grinder can also produce a good edge if you're competant.
