Hi,

I have just started a pretty significant bathroom remodel. I will be putting in ceramic tile. I picked up a tile cutter but was wondering if it would be better to use a wet saw/tile saw. I spent quite a lot on the tile and want to make sure I do this right.

Thanks

If you have a lot of cuts to make a wet saw is a great tool and I would highly recommend it . Also an angle grinder with the a tile cutting disc will make cutting curves or odd angles a lot easier just be sure to wear eye protection.

I'd go for the best tools! I think the wet saw is best. Have you considered lay out plans as far as where you want the smaller tiles to be on one side or another? Or on both sides evenly?

Hi there JP,

If you're making anything other than split cuts and you want a clean job, I would suggest renting a good wet saw.

You can pick a large model up for between 40-60 a day and you can knock out most any room in one day. You do that by laying the field tiles on one day and making all of your cuts on the next day.

Thanks,

Thanks for all the input. Here are some additional details which I should have provided initially. I am putting down 12x12's on the floor and walls. The floor is about 8'x7' so it is a pretty small area. I will be framing out the shower which will take up about 4.5'x3.5' and using 2x2 modiacs tiles in 13 sq in sheets. I also have a pretty detailed border for the wall as well as some bullnose.

So most of the cuts should straight, not going to angle anything on the floor or walls. I will probably have a couple mitre cuts for the shower walls where the door will go.
