Fast forward to 3.40 to gut out the self indulgence.

[@ahilltodieons]

Thanks for the video. As a tile setter who usually works small, it's nice to see there's a method you can use that doesn't require thousands of dollars in tools!

[@LandbergTileTV]

You bet!

[@carlk2193]

The sound of that razor scoring the length of that slab was so satisfying, I had ti watch. Those mammoth tile are pushing us little guys into early retirement. Never did like those designers and there stupid ideas. Thanks for the great vid from Vancouver bc

[@serbiano1]

Love it! Great video, clear, direct, and three ways with three different products! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@teh60]

That RTC cutter is massive and it cuts nice and clean. I’m really surprised that you don’t have at least 60K subscribers by now.

[@rickontiveros3915]

Very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video..👍🏼

[@3TheJesusCodeWebBooks]

I like your open title with stick ons. When I produced one of my first videos in the eighties, I did titles on a patio door with shaving creme. Now I will go back and watch your video.

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Thanks for this. I had to cut a single tile lengthwise only 2" from the edge to make a vanity top. I took it to a marble countertop fabricator and paid him $10 to throw it on his huge wet saw and cut it for me. Best $10 I spent in a long time.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Sounds like a killer deal!

[@elifire4147]

Nothing beats hand cutting porcelain.

[@fnelsoninteg]

Can you use one for countertops? How would you cut the sink opening?

[@aaronpage1822]

That’s a badass wet tile saw

[@angelgarcia6967]

It’s not a wet saw it dry cuts and uses a vacuum to collect dust. I want one but some reviews I’ve read say it burns out after 1 yr and they cost 1,800.

[@paulbarker6633]

You sir are a class act

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thanks Paul!

[@user-is8oz6vy5r]

Use spray bottle with Grinder to eliminate dust.

[@freon500]

Thank you.

[@3TheJesusCodeWebBooks]

The right tool for the right job. I'm going to think outside the box and lay out my floor 14x14 so I don't have to cut any. I will use 12x12 tiles around the 1 ft perimeter. I can easily cut those. But if I didn't have this layout and had to cut I would rent the table saw.

[@erad7464]

Good video. I am about to cut tile with grinder method. What side is best to cut, finish i would guess? Tha ks

[@j8ke937]

I'm installing 72" tile in February. Should be fun.

[@LandbergTileTV]

wish you luck, heavy tile!

[@FullMetaAlchemist]

Will these cutters work with a large slab tile that isn’t flat surface? Or will that pose a problem? I have 4’ large slabs that have detailed grooves throughout. Thanks!

[@arenbarbee9976]

Have you ever tried the circular type tile saw?

[@mileniliev4986]

You can also buy a diamond blade for your circular saw if you do a DIY job. You can get a helper who can spray water from a garden plant pumpable sprayer in order not to damage your blade fast and not to breathe all the dust. A guide is easily made with 2 planks of laminate flooring or anything straight. To not get a single chip - place reasonable strong tape over the cutline. First cut only the face side of the tile only 1/4th then proceed with a cut through. I use painter's tape the regular beige one. If you do this professionally yeah a machine is a huge time saver.

[@GG99YAW]

Good vid like watching them. Extremely important to zoom in with a close up shot slowly (not a far away quick moving glance) to show the mass chipping a dry table saw and hand held grinder does to porcelain, natural stone and ceramic (sanding stones won’t fix that totally). Also a close up shot with a straight edge needs to happen if you’re giving an honest review. When cutting with dry saw or handheld grinder, It’s common to have the tile veer off and split towards the end of the cut. This happens especially with the high honed glass sheen, extremely fragile porcelain - and happens even with the smaller 12x12 or 12x24 - would be compounded with the 24x48 just from a single tap vibration especially on rectified edges. I’ve been installing tile for 40yrs for reference. Keep up the great content.

[@I-TILE]

Hi, what grinder blade do you suggest for cutting 2'x4' gres porcelain tile 3/8 thick. & It looks like a thick flat table is super important also!? Please advise. Thanks

[@robstimson4234]

Wish you had shown your hands when you snapped the tile after scoring it.

[@lrc87290]

About to do my bathroom floor with exact same tile. Bought a Monolit 36 inch manual cutter for cross cuts. Rip cuts I'll do with the hand grinder and a Monolit diamond wheel -which it looks like what you have. Those cuts will go under the baseboard. Thanks for the timely video.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes sir, that is a good setup. Problem with 50" + cutters, the price jumps up fast. Maybe check out Seeutek on amazon, cheap 48" cutter

[@lrc87290]

@@LandbergTileTV Thanks!

[@chipburns4123]

Ive seen mini skill saws made for tile. Maybe clamp a straight edge and use the guide or shoe of the saw like cutting large plywood with a straight edge. It would be nice to know the costs of the different options!

[@elifire4147]

They are junk.

[@DFWFeelingCocky]

Great video. QQ, for those of us that don't do this for a living, what manual tile cutter would you consider other than a TC52PRO Razor Pro 52? I'm doing a home project and dropping a grand on a manual tile cutter for 24 x 48 tile is a bit much. Rentals in the area suck, so that's out.

[@AJ-bi6ns]

Curious if you ever went through with the 24x48? Seems a difficult format unless you are a pro with the proper tools.

[@maddenwigley3318]

Can you do a video on how you got into doing tile?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Working on that video currently 😎

[@genesiscontracting]

Thanks for the tips, hey can I cut granite tiles the same way?

[@adamkoz6358]

The manual tile cutters will not cut granite

[@mjmjersey]

I have an old model IQ so that I purchased from someone who retired and when you look at it it almost looks like it's slightly angled like almost to do a back cut the way the bar comes down but it seems straight is that by Design on purpose when they mess up their pretty accurate and also do you know if I can get a slide extension for the older IQ cut saw

[@vns1mun]

Were almost done with 870 sq ft of 48x48 and those small cuts on the edges were the worst! A lot of waste :/ any advice on small round cuts on the edges of the tile?

I used my small Porter-Cable tabletop wet saw to cut a huge tile, put it on the floor and used a dolly and some 2x4’s (for height) as my rolling table! Worked like a charm!! I still can’t cut a great straight line with a grinder, not steady enough 😩

[@LandbergTileTV]

That's awesome! Great little saw

[@manilanoakes3966]

I clamp a piece of 1 inch angle steel to the tile. The offcut protrudes this ensures that you cannot cut into the piece you need I also have water from a hose on it. The best place to do this is on the lawn. I don't know how he cut that tile so quick and straight it's hard enough to cut a normal tile let alone porcelain and without water. He obviously has a better grinder.

[@kickassdrummer100]

Use a sacrificial straight edge and run your grinder along it to score your cut, then cut just off your score line and tidy it up after

[@JasonJFlippingLife]

How would you suggest to miter a 4ft tile to wrap around a corner?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Grinder with a new diamond blade would be best. The dewalt d36000 with foam board on the tray would work, but I haven't tried that.

1. horsing around a 4 ft. tile and cutting it dry to add dust to your misery is too much. 2. A $1000 52" razr is kind of a steep price to pay, then you get to polish the knife edges. 3. A dry grinder with a sponge??? I just finished a 100ft2 2 x 4 ft tile job with a $99 kobalt hand held 4" wet saw with hose attachment.
