I have 600 x 900 tiles. I am at an internal corner with a 450 cut, would you normally start the next wall with a 150 cut then full tile?

If so then I have will have a cut into a external corner. Would you normally not run the uncut edge until a external corner bead ejther side to keep it neat? Can't see how a cut edge into a trim would look neat at all?

I get that, I have found the centre point and roughly run off that, but whatever I do I wasn't going to end up with a full cut on the external corner I mentioned.
 
It's not always possible to avoid cut edges at an external bead. They look neat enough once a bit of tile grout has worked its way into the little gaps between the tile and the external bead.

So you reckon that even with the chipped edges of a wet cutter they will look alright on a bead? Tried using a normal tile cutter. But tiles are 9.5mm porcelain and they always seem to break by about 10mm right at one end.
 
On a spare piece, try a score then cut , waste side up to the line with your wheel and see you improve on the cut quality
