Chipping tile when cutting with a saw happens because the blade gets worn. It just needs a quick sharpening that you can do yourself. I will show you what you need and how to do this in this video.

I've been a tile setter for over 30 years and never used a dressing stone, lol. My uncle taught me the trade. Worked for him for about a year and moved back home and worked for another tile setter for about three years (he's in his late 70's now and still working) and then went out on my own. I do not recall ever using a dressing stone working for those guys either. I question if it really does anything. I'm not denying it does, just wondering how I've and other tile setters have gotten by all these years and decades without using them... and I keep my blades on my wet saws and grinder for a long long time.

I bought a kobalt wet saw. This type of saw the blade stationary and connected underneath. The problem I’m getting is it seems when I set the rip fence to the desired length the tile seems to bind against the blade as I push the tile through the blade making it very difficult to push tile through. Does it matter what side of the blade you cut on?. I place the rip fence to the left of the blade and make desired cuts that way. Should I be making the cuts on the right side instead? The other thing I’ve noticed is that after I’ve cut a small portion on each end of the tile( I was told this reduces chipping) that when I get all the way through the cut the cut is uneven

it is because the blade is pushing your tile and moving the sqare so it is not square. either that or your guide is not square or the blade is bent or incorrectly installed or just a pos...use high quality blade, check for wobble, check for square, and also try either clamping or securing the guide on the other side (if it is not) and also mark your tile from end to end so when you are pushing it through you can see if you will go off course... other thing you can do is just remove the guide, mark it and push it through straight. also you can cut it with a hand cutter, then sand the edge with a 800 - 1600 grit diamond sanding pad on a grinder (if you are doing fancy patterns with exposed cuts) gives a factory edge look and removes sharp edges. you can also try to use a piece of tape along your cut mark to which can sometimes (depending on tile stop chipping) sometimes tile is prone to chipping and the hand cutter and diamond sander is the best

Your tiles are chipping because of your blade (the grooves) you need to use a thin mesh or turbo blade which has no cut-outs

So Im having a problem with a polished ceramic tile, approx 1 cm thick. It’s chipping a lot, tiny chips. I noticed your wet saw is pumping way more water than mine. The water barely even touches my blade. So new pump I guess?

@SoThatsHowYouDoThat 5 жыл бұрын

Could be water or the blade could be bad..

That high gloss polished coating is a solid glaze layer that often chips/flakes off on the edges of the cut, very small but makes it raggedy. Very obvious to see the cuts. What I did was cut my tile upside down so polished side down. You do the same thing with finish carpentry to keep the finish side from splintering out and minimize additional sanding, filling, priming etc. To prevent the tile from scratching on the tile saw table top I wrapped the tile in some high glass paper/!painted cardboard packaging. The paper also made it so the tile slide way easier. Also when you are putting in the grout it will fill in allot of that.

What blade would you recommend for cutting quarry tiles?

@SoThatsHowYouDoThat 3 жыл бұрын

Well, if you have a heavy duty tile cutter you can score and snap it, but you need something with good breaking power. I personally like to use a wet saw for quarry tile. It cuts so fast, like a hot knife through butter. You can cut several at once for good speed too. Here is the brand tile cutter I use. I have 4 different sizes. amzn.to/3vZHlIB

It would have been nice to show a piece of tile being cut and chipping out. Then, you dress the blade and make another cut to show that the chipping problem has been solved.

Showing yourself using a dressing stone on the blade and that is all; is a cop out. Show a chipped tile after cut, dress the wheel, and then a tile that is NOT chipped. Just saying "trust me it works" defeats the purpose of making a video for KZfaq.

The #1 think you can do to stop tile from chipping with angle grinder is firmly secure it with clamps on a very hard surface. Sharpening blades is secondary.
