Wet saw breaks tile at end of cut
Hello, all. I recently bought a 7" wet tile saw. Nothing fancy, just an inexpensive Home Depot saw.
The saw does a great job of cutting; however, on some types of tile, at the end of the cut it tends to chip or break a corner off the tile. Does anyone know a way to prevent this from happening? \ The only thing I've found that seems to help is to slow down the tile feed to a creep as I approach the edge of the tile, but this does not always prevent the chipping. Thanks, Jack |

I don't know how much tiling you do.
Last time, I just did one room. I broke some tiles cutting them too. I had spare tiles, of course, but rather than break them all! I got smart. I marked the tiles I needed cut. I took them back to the store where I bought them. For ten cents each, they cut them perfectly. That ten cents saved a $100 worth of frustration. If you were doing a huge project maybe that ten cents would add up. Not for most of us though. |

FWIW I made a living from tile (and other home repair)work for several years , and the technique I described works very well . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety . Get off my lawn ! |

Thanks, Jack Push the tile thru with a scrap piece . That way the trailing edge will be supported as it clears the blade . I have never cut tile myself, but i once watched a guy doing it and he put masking tape on the cut mark. He put the mark on the tape and cut thru the tape. I think the purpose was to reinforce the tile, but I'm not sure. Maybe he was just making it easier to see the mark. But why not try it. Grab some scrap tiles and give it a shot. The blade will cut thru the tape easily. so it cant hurt to try. |
