Wish I could share my pictures on my first tiling job been watching your videos it 3 by 12 glass subway it looks awesome used Lev Tech and 7 in Diamondback I did order the p 4 but found that the DeWalt glass blade worked better.

I love the technique for cleaning the tools, most guys use acetone that i see but I have a better option...keep your tools clean!

[@jessicabenetti9496]

You are a badass! Thank-you for the video on how to create a modern look with porcelain tile!

Your miters always look perfect. It's hard to miter tile unless youve been diagnosed with OCD

[@bryanbenson6551]

Lol...so true! I'm a tiler and I have it! My jobs always take longer than average but my detailing is well above average.

Honestly good work, I'll start offering this option to my customers. And great production value on the video, really shows how much effort you put into shooting these compared to some other videos I've seen online!

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thank you sir! I certainly appreciate nice comments like this. 👍🙏

[@teh60]

That was a very cool method for cleaning your levels. Your miter cuts are perfect, you make it look easy. Nice job.

[@dailodai9586]

this tile saw is much better than the MK hands down price and quality far superior. everyone should look into this when time to purchase

[@freshstartfitness8875]

Worth coming here for the level cleaning techniques. Was going to try and be a keyboard warrior and find the slightest mistake and then pull apart your work but none there whatsoever. Great job,from a fellow tiler from the uk.

[@markogrba1]

Looks beautiful. I would be reluctant to use this on a curb as you make water ingress easier if one of those mitered joints fail.

[@ceeIoc]

what do you mean fail?

[@murraymacneill2545]

I think you need a slight slope outer to inner on the curb to avoid water run off going outside the shower. Otherwise, great job. And pretty slick level trick as well.

[@chefblair63]

It was a demonstration as he said. I’m sure he knows to do that on a job. You could slope it on the floor of the shower

[@mcp4490]

@murraymacneill2545 Absolutely! That slight inward slope is CRITICAL if you want to install a frameless glass divider on top. I built a similar curb, but forgot to slope it in, and now i have water running out into the bathroom ever shower. I wish in this video he would have shown where the glass shower door sits in relation to the curb.

[@felixamador6465]

I am so changing the blade on my wet saw, that looks clean 👌

[@romanwowk4269]

[@floored3145]

Cool way to clean levels , never seen that before!

[@LandbergTileTV]

The method works good brother!

[@ryancoulter7681]

@landbergtiletv I love your demonstrations! Great tool reviews as well! I just went out and purchased the Diamondback 7". Man what a great saw! I'm a remodeling contractor in Michigan and have been doing tile work for 15 years. Best saw I've used since I first got my 10" MK 15 years ago. I think the MK is now going to be retired for the most part. Mitering has become much easier with the smaller blade. Much less chatter on the edges. I even put my bullnose blade on the saw and it had great results. I hate the metal edges now I can do away with them. Keep up the good work!

[@LandbergTileTV]

That's awesome, thanks for sharing brother! 👍

[@kennelson5096]

I did a corner shower with porcelin tile. seat, curb, door entry with all 45° os corners. It was very time consuming but sure looked nice.

Yes, time consuming, but well worth it.

[@oldgreenhouserenovationsin5344]

Nice trick with the great stuff. You look like a made man in those glasses.

[@chefblair63]

Thanks to you I am going to return the bulky 6” marble top. The Schluter curb is already a bit to wide for my 60x48” shower. Would you go with the shower tile which is polished or use the floor tile which obviously is not and it a contrasting color? Did you use a 1/4” notch ? Awesome job.

[@LandbergTileTV]

We cut our Schluter curbs down to about 3" x 3" shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWWbh6aGfZlmoac Also, keep in mind it takes a lot longer, is harder to miter and potential to chip on the miter edge if you don't use epoxy. I would recommend ripping down quartz and installing than for a niche sill and curb top. It has no grout joints, so easy to clean and maintain.

[@stang7043]

Awesome video.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thanks buddy!

[@JB_58008]

That looks great! Nice to see new ideas.

[@潜行者]

Could you recommend the grout for miter cut corner as well

[@LandbergTileTV]

We use prism

[@潜行者]

@@LandbergTileTV what’s that? How about kerapoxy

[@chefblair63]

How did you set your vertical tile height? Looks like double the tile thickness

[@DanielRamirez-bm3lu]

Ur the best 🙏💪👍👍👍

[@mateusz266]

Nice Work !!!

[@ledgitimate]

For the measurements of the vertical, how far above the curb surface do you measure? I presume tile width + a few mm for thinset? Do you have a general rule here?

[@LandbergTileTV]

The mitered distance/width is 3/8, so a little more than that for thinset.

[@Brandon-yp2wy]

Great video! I have never seen levels cleaned that way before!

[@TV-og2de]

Wow that chemical you use to clean is brilliant!!

[@LandbergTileTV]

Give it a try!

[@justpassingthrough7989]

I used it to clean my husky folding knife and the blade lock button disintegrated! Must have been made from some cheap metal.

[@mikebari3225]

Any tips to avoid blade deflection on mitre cuts ? I seem to get that often and I’m using a 10” beast wetsaw… guessing I’m doing something wrong

[@LandbergTileTV]

Porcelain burns out blades when mitering. You'll simply need a new blade.

[@jesusrivera9698]

What blade do you use buddy

[@61john2112]

How do i work out the length of a tile from an edge to compensate for the tile thickness an adheasive' then the tile at 90 degrees.Love your work Respect from Australia

[@racerx7709r1]

Looks great ,is there a pitch to the curb ?

[@LandbergTileTV]

yes sir, I should have shown the bubble

[@treystills]

@@LandbergTileTV noob question... which way or which plane does the curb pitch? Thx for sharing

[@1surfercross]

Here is a much easier way to clean levels. I use a PVC pipe thats longer than my longest levels and fill the pipe with the acid solution. For the shorter levels I just tie a string and lower them down . Super easy and reusable.

[@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet]

Looks Great as usual. I did quite a bit of mitering this week myself. It looks like that diamondback wet saw is working out great for you so far which is awesome!..... Anyways, thanks for another video man! 👍

[@neillee5835]

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes sir it does!

[@Kn1ght2025]

Dang...love it ...thanks bro.

[@luistenezaca9085]

Perfect job 👌🏻👌🏻

[@willhere8892]

Is a wet saw all you need for mitering the tile? No polishing pads? Do you get all the way to the edge with the blade? You're good. I miter with a wet saw close to the edge leaving about 1/6 - 1/8 to the edge and then i carefully remove another 1/6 with a grinder and lastly i use a coarse polishing pad. My miter gets perfect but it's time consuming.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yup, we do that also with grinder polishing pads. The wet saw doesn't get it perfect every time as you know.

[@SimpleKowalski]

The edges of curb won’t break or chip off easily because that 45 degree ?

[@LandbergTileTV]

We've never had a problem

[@ryanmaclean5621]

I suggest making the front of the curb slightly higher because you do need slope for water runoff

[@douglasirving8417]

How would you 45° cut a 4' long tile

[@LandbergTileTV]

Grinder or Dewalt D36000

[@willarceo6304]

That blade is a Pearl P4 mesh

[@shorefire3747]

Can it be done with large format glass tile?

[@LandbergTileTV]

negative

[@sylvaindastous9822]

Thinking to do that on my kitchen table but am scare is too fragile on corner, better with trim ??

[@LandbergTileTV]

You will at least need Schluter Finec trim.

[@StrongEye]

Shouldn't you leave a 1/16th space on the miter?

[@ramonrodrigurz4206]

Nice.

[@j.w.r.i2910]

Are curbs suppose to have a slight slope toward the shower ?

[@mcp4490]

I will say from my personal experience not having an inward slope... absolutely yes, have a slight inward slope.

[@BMan-up3qj]

Looks nice and all but mitering a curb all it takes is one little thing to drop on edge of that tile and it will chip and break

[@LandbergTileTV]

I know it sounds fun, but try to avoid jumping in the shower with a toolbelt and hammer! 😎

[@blakehorn229]

If using sanded grout throughout, what do you do to seal the joint between the miters? Silicone colored the same as the grout? Thank you for your reply and time!

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes, silicone matched would definitely work.

[@Ckrzysiek]

Świetnie to wygląda! Dobra robota!

[@quanginh4225]

Great!

[@LandbergTileTV]

thx!

[@0ggi]

Do you not use a resin to fill your mitred edges?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Prism and sealers gold

[@johnitaliane3896]

You mention you grout the miter joint. I am assuming you want thinset to extrude out of miter joint and then clean with a sponge to leave room for grout. Do you use grout for miter joint or silicone? I have heard grout is susceptible to cracking for 90 degree tile joints. However I am concerned silicone will make miter edge more susceptible to chipping damage. Thoughts?

[@almanages]

Thanks for the tips with cleaning levels, great Stuff! Was wondering, what about the incline toward to shower for water drips? would you happen to know what thickness of shim to put under the tiles while cutting bevels in order to get the same crisp line you showed? Much appreciated, thanks.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes, always have a slope and pitch towards the shower pan. I don't understand your second question...

[@almanages]

@@LandbergTileTV do you keep a 45 degree on the saw while you bevel the tiles the same or you adjust in order to account for the slope by using a spacer on the tile table to adjust the bevel so it's tight? I asked because the shower side would be really nice and tight with adjusting with tinset but the other side outside the shower would open up a bit more given the slop going inside the shower. you either have to grind down the heel of the bevel because it won't be tight. just wondering if it matters that much since the curb is just 6 inches and it doesn't show that much?

[@LandbergTileTV]

@@almanages Okay, I see what you're asking. Yes, I keep a 45 degree on the saw during each and every miter/bevel cut. You can still obtain your slope and get tight joints. The slope is very slight, so the joints will look the same on the inside and outside of the curb. It will match on both sides. 👍

[@almanages]

@@LandbergTileTV Thanks a bunch, saves me from testing this myself. I appreciate your response.

[@calivalley9056]

When you grout the miter edge can you see the unpolished edge?

[@LandbergTileTV]

No, the miter show's only the polished edge.

[@Rustyshackleford752]

Looks really good, I like the way that looks, I may try that on one

[@RavinJetta]

When you are pulling measurements for the sides are you just adding say a 1/4" extra on the top to accommodate for the thinset? Going to be using a 1/2" trowel.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes sir, that's exactly what you do. It's best to get thinset to squeeze out of these miter joints for full coverage to protect the edge.

[@RavinJetta]

@@LandbergTileTV Awesome. Going to take my first try at mitered joints this weekend. Thanks so much for your help as I have watched all of your videos for ideas.

[@qodd]

how do you grout mitre edge ? What solutions there are ?

We grout with Prism grout, it takes a little more time, but the miter edge looks great!

[@seemsfishy4289]

Where do I buy the curb from ?

[@YoloFuckingSwaggins]

Can you caulk the mitered edge instead of grouting?

[@destruxxx]

Caulk won't help support the edge to prevent chipping.

[@Lefteris7]

Great job! When you're working with the kerdi curb how are you sloping the foam to get proper drainage?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Use the thinset to obtain your pitch/slope.

Not sharp after you bevel with diamond pad, and yeah, step over the curb.

You did that without a slope. Without a slope water will just sit there. How do you miter it and get a slope?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Cut the inside riser shorter.

[@165Dash]

Two questions: (A) I am trying to create a “built up” tile baseboard that is 3/4” thick and 6” high. The baseboard has to look monolithic and have a finished top edge. It is in an institutional setting and must be durable. Is it possible to build this up and basically “glue” the miter using an epoxy resin adhesive as is commonly done with stone? The color and sheen has to match the 12 x 24 tile being used on the floor. (B) When you do your miters...beautiful BTW...are they “knife edge” or is there a tiny flat “quirk” to avoid chipping...and if so...how large? 1/16” (+/-)?

[@Dmendoza323]

Does that sulfuric acid work with concrete

[@LandbergTileTV]

I don't think so, concrete is so porous..

[@allensarkozy4109]

Correction, it's Sulfamic acid not sulfuric acid (I get 5 pounds online for $22, Big Box wants $8 for a pound) it is mildly corrosive (wear gloves and eye protection) but not deadly, Sulfuric acid, on the other hand with eat your skin. Muriatic Acid (very corrosive also) or SCR (concrete.
