How to Make Right Angle Cuts with a Tile Saw

Hi, this is Brian Carter on behalf of Expertvillage.com. I have 10 years of ceramic tile installation experience. Today I am going to show you how to make a right angle cut. What I would like to do is I would like to have two lines, one the full length of the tile. This is done with a pencil and get another line perpendicular - that’s where I want the other cut and I do not need to let that line to go the full length. I just need to know where to get to. So I got that other line I started right in my mark go through and I would like to lift it a little bit so that I can get a 90 degree cut through the tile, so if I got it laid on the tray I can do that, lift up, up and there I am at the line. I flip it and now I can cut straight down to that edge, because I made the 90 degrees, so make that just like a straight cut. Then as I get closer to the next cut, I am going to lift that tile up and there we go. Alright now it looks like I have got a little bit of chunk left over sometimes that’s okay. What we want to do is we will take the grinder fitted with the ceramic tile dry blade and we are just going to knock that off just a little bit, it works just like the wet blade so we do not need water.
