How to cut marble tiles?
I have some 12x12 marble tiles that I cut to 4x4 pieces to use in a shower. 1) Can I use a caliper tool on the marble. 2) What is the best way to cut curves of marble tiles? I guess I can do this somehow with a saw wet. 3) Can I use a normal hole to cut a few holes that need? 4) It is necessary to put a flat edge on these smaller pieces of cut for the grout. And some pieces have to be rounded on the edge of the shower. Can I use a rotary tool and diamond bits? If so, which bits to use? It would also be necessary that the guide attachment that is used for routing bits? When I say flat edge, I mean I need to put a cutting edge angle.
I'll give your questions a shot. 1) It is unlikely, unless it is very soft and / or very thin. Pliers are softer to the tiles, and ceramic. 2) out of the corners Whitla may be far in the wet saw. Inside curves using a 4 "or 4 1 / 4" grinder with diamond blade. mark of the curve and continue with the grinder. take relief cuts as needed. Not too hard, too long. http://johnbridge.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=17456 3) equal to the number 1). They do something special for porcelain, stone, etc. $ 20 to $ 30 each. http://www.constructioncomplete.com/TileEquipment/PorcelainTileDrillBits.html 4) You can use the 45 degree sled that comes with the more humid mountains. I made a 22 1 / 2 grade wooden sled 45 degree corner cut recently. If you wanted a "rounded" edge cutters but they are expensive, plus $ 250 or less.
