I appreciate that there is a small section on this in the WIKI and I appreciate that several posts have been made surrounding this subject but....
What is the best method of cutting larger [thin] ceramic wall tiles?
I have a number of tiling tools [nippers, hand saws, scribes etc.] and have tried a few of the 'sliding' cutters. However, they always appear to break up the ceramic face at the cut edge whether cut back or front ways and whether scribed or not [maybe I am not scribing deeply enough?] Not a problem where the tile edge is hidden but there are some places where the tile edge will be seen.
I have a large water-cooled cutter for quarry and floor tiles but I assume this would be too much for cutting thin ceramics and would cause the same 'chipping' of the ceramic face at the edge.
Any definitive ideas e.g. do I need to buy a smaller electric cutter??
Many Thanks - especially to all the regular experts who post - your help is invaluable!!
