Күн бұрынSUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way
Large format tiles can be difficult to install, throw in a pattern, and then put it on a diagonal, and now you just made it much harder, not only the are these tiles difficult to install, to get proper thinset coverage, have no tile lippage, keep everything straight and square. Just marking them for cuts becomes a challenge, especially in a confined area, like a closet, or in a doorway. In this video I show you how to make easy work of getting a precise marke to cut and fit your tile. This will also work for smaller tiles, but comes in especially useful for large format tiles.All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.

It's so funny, I'll watch you start to do something like this and jump ahead in my mind (I was going to add small pieces of cardboard to the rough cut template) but your method with the straight edge and parallel lines is simpler and, as you show, easy to transfer to the tile itself. The little triangle cutouts are another DiBlasi beauty. Wish I get you out here for that CA tile job. Schluter road trip.

Really? They had one of those Rubi bridge saws where I used to work and I thought it was crap compared to the Dewalt D24000. The Rubi just had no torque. You had to cut everything in multiple passes. I did everything I could to avoid using it.

@@eggsaladsamich7396 yeah and we got to the same place with our dewalts not cutting straight and that was why I was forced to use the rubi. Then we brought it up to the owner at a Monday morning meeting and we all decided to send all the dewalts into the local service center to be adjusted and it was so nice to have them cutting straight again.

You can undercut the trim (which was already done here) but you still have to cut the tile to fit around the bottom plate.

Sal, I should fly you out here to Calgary Canada. My husband is extremely particular, he can spend all day on our bathroom project and get 4 or 5 tiles done. We have 32 boxes of eight tiles to do ( ~200 tiles). That is going to take him 6 month if he doesn’t quit for a few years like other things he’s started. He continually has me cleaning all his spatulas, trowels, and mixer. Is there any medicine to give him that will help or should I be the one on meds?

Hi Sal, what are you using to mark your tile that doesn't come off with the wet saw? Also, if a wet saw is making tiny chips in the tile along the cut line (my tile is glazed ceramic), is this due to the blade being dull or not good enough to begin with?
@SalDiBlasi 2 жыл бұрын
Just a pencil, the type and quality of the wet saw and blade will make a huge difference on the outcome of the cut. Try dressing the blade and checking to see if the blade is out of round or if it wobbles. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZiapbCU2b7aoYU.html
