[@yeechoonbebe9870]

Tile' s cutting are so much fun ' s ! Largest sizes of tile' s are very expensive ' s ! Am I right ? So

[@mikemaman1]

Snapped the corner off in first tile :D. But regarding the cutter. Can you get nice straight edge from it? (similar to new tile edge) Or you taking new tile for every piece you need?

[@TileMountain1]

Hi Mike - thanks for your comment. When cutting large format tiles with a tile cutter as demonstrated, the resulting edge should be fairly straight (i.e. straight enough to be unnoticeable) but not 100% straight as they are when they leave the factory. This is because during production tile manufacturers use precision cutting equipment to create what are called rectified edges on some tiles. Not all tiles have rectified edges however. Hope this answers your question. Tile Mountain

When using a tile cutter do not press down hard when scoring the lighter you press tge cleaner the cut will be as long as it is continuously cut

[@MrDIYCraigPhillips]

Belloto

[@lukaszb86]

What about thickness? Guess i can't use this to cut 20mm outdoor tiles?

[@boverton72]

nice video, but it didn't work, the tile chipped in the corner. So, that wasted probably a 6 sq/ft tile???

[@anteka12]

Yeah, I noticed that as well. That first large tile wasn't cut properly and chipped. I have some 1 foot x 2 foot tiles that I need to cut lengthwise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKmnfZKnnr-Knqs

[@TileMountain1]

[@shetland990]

just to clarify for anyone else going down this particular rabbit hole, tile mountain don't sell those bellota cutters.

[@TileMountain1]

Hi shetland990 - thanks for your comment. It looks like the particular product Craig uses here has gone out of stock. Please keep checking back to that section of our website though as it will reappear here when it come back in stock. Thanks, Tile Mountain

[@El_Nombre-e3x]

Hi Craig, can you cut 60 x 30 porcelain tiles in half and use those halves in addition to the larger whole tile to create a modular look? I have slate look porcelain tiles

[@TileMountain1]

While this may be possible, you would need to consider that, when doing this, you would have some tiles that have 3 finished edges and one unfinished edge where it has been cut, this may not look especially clean if there are uneven edges throughout the floor. Tile Mountain

[@Beech1900pilot]

Can you use the wet saw.ypu profiled at the end on a large format tile? Say 1000 mm long for rip cuts?

[@TileMountain1]

Hi Beech1900pilot - thanks for your comment. You could use a wet wheel cutter on any tile technically, however with larger tiles you may not be able to get the stability you need to achieve an accurate cut. Hope this helps. Tile Mountain

[@ginger4166]

what about cutting a large circle in large tile?

[@ginger4166]

A circle for the sink that is

[@TileMountain1]

Hi Ginger - thanks for your comment. For cutting out specific shapes from large format tiles, we would recommend a water jet cutter or an angle grinder. The latter method can be done yourself if you feel confident enough (although it does take a bit of perseverance). The former would involve finding a specialist company that offers this service as it requires specialist equipment. Hope this helps! Tile Mountain

[@tistenp2946]

On your first cut you chipped off a corner... and then you ignore it, as if it didn't happen... sneaky ;)

[@TileMountain1]

Hi D V, You're very eagle-eyed! We'll make sure to be a bit more careful in the next series! Thanks, Tile Mountain

[@curtiscleary790]

Haha, I was just about to comment that.

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Know you've mentioned it i can see it to, thanks for letting me know,

[@MrDIYCraigPhillips]

You'll be pleased to know that i've started wearing glasses this pass 12 months and my cuts have got a little better!

[@johnmccormick8159]

What accent does Craig have? Or, where is he from? Please answer this only if you are from Britain. Thanks.

[@TileMountain1]

Hi John - thanks for your comment. Our Craig is from the wonderful city of Liverpool and therefore has a scouse accent. Hope this helps, la... Tile Mountain

[@johnmccormick8159]

@@TileMountain1 Thank you!

[@strangersgarden]

Can someone recommend me a quality tile cutter that can cut 600x600 8mm thick porcelain tile, also something that won't break the bank. I'm really struggling on finding a good one there's split opinions everywhere

[@TileMountain1]

The 600mm Manual Tile Cutter on our website would do this for you. However, if you are looking to spend as little as possible, if it is just the one project you are undertaking, it may be worth looking into hiring a cutter for a day instead of buying one. Tile Mountain.
