Default Cutting Mosaic Tile Pieces


wrote in message
...
Anybody have suggestions on how to cut those little (1" x 1") tiles
that come bonded to a mesh backer? My area to be tiled doesn't work
out to an even inch boundary (surprise!). These seem to be Turkish
marble if that makes a difference. I've cut bigger ceramic tiles
before by scoring and snapping, but I don't see how to do that on
something this small. Ditto with a wet saw.

Don't need a production line solution, only a few (!) to do.

Diamond disk in a dremel??

Thanks,

a wet saw will do it correctly and easily. you don't have to worry about
getting fingers near a wet saw blade like you do for a toothed sawblade, as
it can't really hurt you as long as it's wet. you can use the side of a
blade (gently) to shape tiles.
