Laying tiles requires certain skills and qualifications. This affects when you need to adjust the tile under the desired size and you have to work with a grinder or stovetur. Most of the spoiled tile happens when cutting.
Choosing Platecoreza
No matter what tile you need to trim, wall or outdoor, and regardless of the direction in which it needs to be cut, the edges of the sliced \u200b\u200bpieces should be as smaller. After all, it is uneven, an inaccurately trimmed tile, if it is put on the surface, it will immediately come into the eyes.
It is best to cut the tile with a tile car.
It is specifically designed for this, so you can even work with him without proper experience.
However, the electric tiles is expensive, so if you have a repair plans in the plans of the room, it is better to buy a manual tile.
Externally, the tiles look like a platform with attached tongs. But according to its principle, it is rather reminiscent of glass cutter. As in the glass cutter, the main working body in the tilter is a heavy-duty alloy wheels. Compared to the glass cutter, it is much greater, since it accounts for other surfaces. But the principle of operation is the same: the wheel makes a scratch on the tile in the place where the result is needed.
Choosing a plastic store in the construction store, choose such a model where the carriages have bearings. This is important because there are models in which the carriage is hoping directly to the guides. They cost cheaper, but they have tough, and the backlash may arise, and as a result, the working wheel has to be changed.

Main rules when working with a tile
Before you begin to circumcise the tile tiles, you need to spend some time to prepare it to work. First you need to make sure that the cutting wheel in working condition. If it faded, it should be replaced. In construction stores you can pick it up under any model of plastic cutting.
It is necessary to check that the wheel is reliably fixed and spinning strictly along the axis, and not hacked on the parties. If the wheel is risen, then it needs to be fastened, pulling the fastening bolt, otherwise it will not work. Immediately before work, the wheel and the guide frame is better to slightly lubricate with machine oil. But do not overdo it, oils need 2-3 drops, no more.
When trimming the tile, the rule is valid: the more denser the tile, the thinner the band can be cut off. But still cut off a strip less than 5 mm tights, it will not work, for such cases, special impositions are needed.

How to cut the tile?
First you need to measure on the tile the desired distance and the construction marker or felt-tipper apply the cut line. For this label and you need to get a straight cut. The tile falls on the base of the tile cutting of the applied line up, and so that the wheel and the applied line coincided.
Holding one hand to the tile, the other raise the wheel handle in such a way that the wheel becomes on the tile in its top for the attitude towards you at the very beginning of the future fault. Putting a wheel, you need with a small pressure to remain risk, moving the handle on yourself. The passage you need to do only one. If you do more, you will not be able to make sure about the line and turn out to be ugly, curves.
Platekorez is a universal device for cutting tiles.
The capped tile is separated into parts with the help of special stops similar to the wings. When cutting the roller does not allow the rest to put pressure on the surface, but when the risk is cut, they are given. To do this, we reinstall the plank into the lower part so that the stops are pressed on the lower third of the tiles near the base of the handle and on the lower part of its surface.
The stops must be equipped with special pads, not to leave on the surface of the traces. If they are not, then they can be replaced by wrapped the ends of the supports into several layers of adhesive plane or scotch. Pluging the tile, with your left hand holding the lever, and the right we rudely hit it from above. Tile should split into two parts. But even if the tile after hitting did not split, you should not panic immediately. Perhaps you have not hit hard enough, hit again, ridiculously.
If an incision is made correctly, the split place will be smooth. But even if the rode was not too smooth, it can always be corrected by applying a grinding stone or sandpaper.

How to cut the tile with a grinder and glass cutter?
Platekorez - the best solution when you need to cut the tile. However, it happens that the volume of work is too small to buy tiles. In this case, Bulgarian or glass cutter will come to the rescue.
When working with a grinder, you need to remember that this is a tool of increased danger. This rule becomes even more relevant if you cut a grinder tile, because it is originally intended for such work. Therefore, cut the tile with a grinder, not equipped with a protective case, can not in any way. You also need to take care of your own eyes and ears, putting protective glasses and headphones.
For the cutting of the tile, you only need to use a diamond circle. The circle for metal with such work will not cope. The tile must be securely fixed. After turning on the grinder, it is necessary to wait until the disc will rotate the revolutions, and then, a little appropriate, spend a disk along the markup line. Disc must be required from ourselves.
When working, the Bulgarian needs to be kept smoothly so that the disk is all the time at an angle of 90º to the lines of the cut. Compared to the tilecase, the slice will not be as high quality, but after processing the grinding circle will look decent.
If you do not have any tile cutter, no grinder, and you need to cut the tile, you can use the usual glass cutter. But when using glass cutter, the tile will need to be mashed in water at least an hour. And only after that proceed to markup and cutting.
Technique cutting tiles is no different from cutting glass. Tile must be put on a flat and stable surface. A ruler falls near the downtown line. Next, a glass cutter is carried out on the marked line, it's not worth making an incision too deep. Having made an incision, the tile shifts on the edge of the surface so that the edge of the surface and the incision made are coincided. Now it is enough to press on both sides, and the tile will split exactly by incision.
For trimming tiles, you can use a logs with a carbide blade. But work with him is too slow. For trimming one tile, the jigsik will leave 5 to 10 minutes, which is too much, especially considering how many such operations need to be performed during styling.
Today, ceramic tile has become one of the most sought-after materials for finishing the premises. And if you decide to save and put it yourself, then you will definitely come across the need to cutting.
If you did not have to cut the tile before, before proceeding to work, it is better to practice on the defective material. So you and the hand are a bit novel, and it will not be sorry to be spoiled tile. The main thing is not to despair and do not lower your hands after the first failures. And then everything will succeed.
So we approached the outer corner. Now we will rent a movie, how to place to this corner and cut the tile so that it goes well with you and bypassed this outer corner.
Here is this tile. Now we will show everything on it, as we will do it, without cutting the tile nor in half, nor how. Namely cut into the tile here is this angle.
So we do. We select the drawing so that we have everything in the drawing and coincided, as we have everything done in the drawing of the tile. We also select that we do not have displacements with a pattern. Chose. Now we make markup on the tile.
We take our tile, stick it to the tile, which already lies with the seam, and give seam that we will have. Here retreat from the edge of 4 millimeters or 5 and put the label on the tile. This label is transferred to the end. Here it is our mistake.
Now we do the same with this edge, too, which lies already pasted.
Again, put, do not forget about the seam. We look at and also retreat from the edge of a millimeter 4-5 and put the label.
We carry our tags for this side. Further. We take our improvised straight line with a straight angle. We assume that there is a straight angle in this tile. We took such trimming. We need to connect these lines. Lodge. Here we combine tagged. We look so that the string tile smoothly lay with this tile and did not speak anywhere, lying on the same plane. Since here is a straight angle we draw. We extend the line one and the other in the same way. You can take a whole tile, but trimmed easier. It is easier by weight. Flashed.
Rubbing tile and tile
So, the next step is such. The plotcores of the letter "g" does not cut. So, we need to do? I usually choose the shortest, choose a short distance to cut through the grinder.
So we are wearing this part here before this line with a barrage with a disc on tile. And we are already wearing this part. Well, it happens, there is such a length.
Just make a cut on the plane and bomb this piece. So, take the grinder and cut through this part. We take glasses, wear. Here is Bulgarian. I hope there is a disc on a tile. It is on tile. He is smooth. How to choose a disc on the tile I have separate rollers. Everything is told about disks with diamond spraying. Here is a diamond spraying. This is the cutting part of the disk.
So we turn on it. So I want to say. When we make a sharp, we are not strictly along the line, and the disk that would go next to the line. So that we have seen a line. That is, we will cut through next to the line.
Turn on.
So, we did a break. What else I want to say. You probably noticed that I, when I cut, I drived, as if we cut the bread with a knife. What does it give? This gives the fact that the disk with such a thread will never climb it. Never. Because we will be released it, we give a load, then we release, we give the load. And it cuts better then. And faster and better cuts.
So the next step: the cut we did, now we need to make cuts on the tile. We combine this line with the axis on the tile. So, they combined. Attached the leg, and now it is easy to cut through, starting from the end of a cut-cutting grinder to the end of the tile itself.
That's felt, got into the groove. Cut feels. And cut through.
All, rosets made. Now I'm scattered. Everything. Here is our outer angle, I will repeat.
The final stage of gluing tile
And now we glue it. Our tile - spike corners, so we will apply glue to the center by such movements. As if stigled her slightly.
What I want to say. Why we retreat from the wall, do not give density? Because it is associated with temperature modes. Tile should not fit tightly to the wall. The same with the screeds. For screeds, tempera tape is made. So, flatter it in the plane. Well, just in case we can check if our sheet is not knocked down. Tile itself with glue, but there will still be plinths with glue.
Who calls his shoe, but I call it a tiled plinth. That is, the plinth will be made of tiles. We take tile. It with a layer of glue has an even centimeter thick. Why? Because the tile herself is 7 millimeters and a layer of glue about 2-3 millimeters. Put just tile our wall. Here I give her 2-3 millimeters, it is perfectly closed. So our res closes, everything goes fine.
Here is this way you cut all the tiles for external straight corners. This is one of the ways.

The easiest way to cut tiles on the items is to use the manual stoveture. Its cost varies from 200 rubles or more, but with the help of this tool you can save a lot of time and effort. Moreover, it is simply possible to rent in the building materials store. In this article we will tell how to cut tiles with tiles.
Tilt Core
On the fixed tile, the cut slicer is planned, along which the wheel of the tile cutter is carried out. Next, the lever is lowered, and the material is cleaned by the marked feature. This work takes no more than 1 minute.
Rules for using manual slab cutting:
- Before using the stoveturosis, it is worth dripping the oil on the rail and wheel guide and the risk. Make sure the reliability of the fastening of the wheel. It should not move to the parties, otherwise you will receive a curve of the cut line. When wearing the cutting wheel, it is worth changed by buying a similar one in the building store.
- Before proceeding with the process, it is worth trying to make several experimental sections of the desired bend. If it did not work out to make the necessary incision with a manual stoveture, it is worth using automatic, or produce a few lap and break the tile with small pieces with bodies.

Ceramic tile cutting technology with stoveturis
For the manufacture of a straight cutting with tiles, it is necessary to draw a felt-tip pen on the material. Next, put the tile on the special base of the tool and combine the specified trait with the risk of risks. When performing a plurality of identical sections, it is advisable to fix the frame using a screw in a given position. Keep one hand plate, and the second is a lever with a wheels.
The lever must be lifted to contact the wheel with the surface of the tile, and then move the handle to itself. Applying a slight effort, perform one wheel pass, applying risk.
Note! With repeated conduct, the performed slice will turn out to be low-quality.
Next, at the risk performed, it will be necessary to divide the material on the items. To do this, put the wings at the beginning of the lever in such a way that they are at the level of 1/3 of the bottom of the bottom plate. Pre-process the wings of the tool to the painting scotch so that they do not damage the material. Hold the tile in the required position, slightly clicking on the lever with a thumb of one hand, hit the lever with the palm of the other hand.
Note! In the case when a split was formed on the material, it should be hit stronger. If even after that the material did not succumb to work with another tile, starting the process again.
After completing the work, the cut edge can be released. It is corrected by processing it with sandpaper or stone for grinding. Fuely to the type of stone suitable for the structure of your stove. There is no need to process the edges when they are closed with adjacent tiles.
Video
In this video material shows the principle of operation of a manual slab cutting:
Any process of laying ceramic tile does not cost without its trimming. Especially it will be much if you use some non-standard layout, for example, diagonally. In the last article we told to get uniform and beautiful trimming everywhere. Now it will be about how the cutting tiles are made correctly at home.
As you know, the tile is made of burned clay, which is covered on top of the icing. It's just how hard it is difficult to grasp it, but if he is lying on any irregularity, it is easy to crack from a small load. To simplify this process and make the required Dymos line, you need to weaken the top layer of glaze - that is, cutting it, and therefore it is already applied for donomas.
There are 3 main ways to do this:
- Special tool - manual, electric stovetur or special tongs.
- Bulgarian.
- Other primary sharp tools.
Let's talk more about each method of cutting tiles.

Cutting tiles with manual stoves
This is the most popular option that is used both professional tile and amateurs. It is possible to find it in the store at a price of 300 rubles and higher, depending on the size, quality and additional bellows, such as a rotary base and the built-in ruler for the convenience of cutting tiles at an angle of 45 degrees. At the same time, the cheapest models are better not to buy, they will often break the tile incorrectly, due to the poor clamping to the harpdom.
How does handheld tile
How to use stovetur:
- The tile is inserted into the stovetur, and the markup on it is aligned with a special mark.
- The handle falls and is carried out towards itself. It should be done with the same speed and uniform pressure so that the roller cut the glaze to one depth. It will be enough to hold the roller 1 time. If you drive several times, it may turn out to be low-quality.
- Next to the roller there are special legs that are lowered and cleaned the tile on 2 parts, after a sharp pressure on the lever. At the same time, all the stoves have a metal tubercle on their platform, and on the edges, soft linings. When you click on the edges of the tile with my paws, the maximum voltage will be created in the door, if it is correct to combine it with a lining, and it will break it smoothly.
In words, it is difficult to explain it, so it's easier to watch the video, which shows how to cut tiles with a tile, right:
High-quality tile cutters allow you to cut without problems even tiles with a thickness of 10 mm. And it doesn't matter, at what angle you will cut it: at least 45 degrees, at least 30.
How to cut the tile of the letter "g"
Since the stoveture can trim the tile only directly, many have difficulties of M-shaped cuts. The easiest option is to divide this tile on 2 rectangular elements, but then it turns out an extra ugly seam that will rush into the eyes.
But this can be avoided, if you cut through a short side with a grinder, and then a long-slab car.
Instructions for steps how to do M-shaped cuts on the tile
You can cut off the external angles in the same way. When they are marked, you need to take about 4-5 mm, on the seam for grouting 1.5-2 mm and a small indentation from the wall.
The second way: any method available to you is made on the glaze, and the surplus is gradually decayed with pliers. Irregularities are processed by sandpaper. This option will allow even getting a rounded incision for adjusting to risers.
How to cut ceramographic
It is believed that porcelain tiles are the most solid material from which the floor tile is manufactured. It is possible to cut it in the same way as an ordinary tile.
Sometimes a simple floor tile cut more difficult than porcelain stoneware. There is a hardened tile, along which, after the tileture is almost not visible to the head on the glaze. And even the diamond disk on the grinder does not take it - the incision is obtained by torn, as after the tractor. In such cases, you need to use the grinder, and cut the groove of 2-3 mm on the back to designate the place of donom.
Platecores-tongs
The tile tongs are cheaper than all (200-400 rubles), and it is suitable only for small volumes of work with fine ceramic tiles at home.
After the end, press on the tile with tongs for fault
How to use plovers-pads:
- Make marking taking into account all gaps and seams (-5 mm).
- Attach a metal line to the markup line and swipe along it once. Pressing should be average to form a visible strip. Drive it from the far edge to yourself.
- Position the nippers along the scrap line next to the edge. Sponges must be top on the glaze, and the straight part below. The fault line should go straight in the middle between the edges of the upper sponge.
- Smoothly press the handles to break the tile. At the same time, do not lift it high, otherwise it will break down after the fall.
Electric tiles
If you have a large amount of work, then the fastest and high-quality incision is obtained from electric stoveturis. They use a diamond circle and serve water to the place of cut, for cooling and removing dust. The cheapest views of the amateur class can be found for sale for 3-4 thousand rubles.
Cut the tile Bulgarian
Sometimes there are cases when it is necessary to cut off the narrow strip of the tile of 0.5-2 cm, and the usual tile cargo does not take it, because it has too wide legs.
In such cases, it is necessary to draw a pencil line with a pencil and made a brotank with a diamond disk. But if you try to cut it at a time, the narrow strip will be chopped up with parts. Therefore, it is necessary smoothly and without pressure to walk with a grinder on the markup, so that there is an incision of a depth of about 2 mm. You need to go to the disk along the line, and not right on it, then the width of the already narrow strip will not decrease.
In the same method, spending several times on the same seam, you will cut the narrow strip. The second and the next time to drive the grinder can already be faster, but try to press it to the opposite side, then the chips will not.
It is better to do this work on weight, so vibration will go into hand. When you already see that the strip will soon fall, it is desirable to put something soft so that it does not break.
Cutting tiles with a bacal special disk with diamond spraying on the tile
If any irregularities remain, they can be pulled out by the same grinder.
Be sure when working with a grinder you need to wear glasses.
How to choose a disc on the tile
For cutting used metal discs with diamond spraying at its edges. But they are different: for concrete, brick, stone. Tile disks have no holes, the attack on them is uniform and smooth. Concrete discs have a slot on the attack, and will create chips when vibration. If you cut ceramic tiles to them, then these chips can fly into the face.

Ceramic plinth "Pencil" is best suited for the protection of sharp external tile angles
For a beautiful docking of external corners, many masters are drowned by the edges under 45 degrees so as not to use ceramic corners. But in dangerous places where it is possible to slip, it is better to still use the so-called border pencils, even some consider them the "collective farm".
If you use a professional electric stovetur, the inclined platform there makes it easy to make an angle of 45 degrees on the tile module, but this tool is not all. Alone, such an angle is easy to do with the help of the same grinder "on the eye". The disk is carried out along the plus line, while it must be slightly tilted inside.
Signed tiles under 45 degrees
How to cut off tiles without plastic
If you need to trim only a few tiles, then it is not necessary to spend on the tile. You can use undergraduate tools:
- Glass cutter.
- Drill. It is desirable it should be with a winning tip, as it will better scratch the tile.
- Nail.
- Construction knife.
Attach the metal line to the place of the outbreak and spend 1 time with a glass cutter or drill. There should be a deep scratch on enamel. If you use a knife, but you will need to spend several times.
Put the tile by the place of the cut at an angle and sharp movement put on its edges. The cut will not be perfectly smooth, unlike plastic cutting, but also to spend extra money.
So that the cutting of ceramic tiles was simpler, many masters soaked it in the water for about 1 hour.
Conclusion
Cutting ceramic tile is not much difficult, and you yourself will understand it after several times. Just if you do not have experience, you should always buy material with a reserve of 10-15%. Some construction stores provide services for drinking tiles under the necessary forms and sizes, but here you need to be 100% confident in size.
Comments Powered by HypercommentsConducting the facing of the room with a cafeter, sometimes it is necessary to lay in addition to whole tiles, and their parts. How to cut the tile so that its edge turns out to be smooth, and did not have to spoil extra blanks? This task is solved if you take advantage of the plotkores - a special device for cutting a tile, a grinder or glass cutter. About the intricacies of work of work with various tools, find out from this article and video.
Professionals, when carrying out tiles, a special tool is applied, called electric stovetur or water saw. With it, high-quality tile cutting is made - or stone, with a soft or solid basis. The tool consists of a platform attached to a diamond disk and a water tray. In the process of cutting, water from the pallet is fed to the knife, cooling it, preventing the appearance of dust and protecting the processed billets from cracking. It should be maintained in the pallet the desired level of water and periodically change it to avoid clogging with a knife.
To carry out the cutting, it is necessary to place the tile, then put its work platform and fix the clamping plate. Turn on the stoveture engine and run the rotating disk. Hold down the workpiece with two hands, with a slight pressure to promote it under a diamond disk. Running dissected blanks using tile pads.
The advantages of using electric tiles are indisputable. This tool provides:
- accurate, clean and smooth cut, without chipping;
- minimal waste;
- lack of dust;
- cutting at an angle;
- speed cuts of any, even the most durable or thick tile;
- withstand a large amount of cutting.
Attention! Tile having a carbide crumb coating cannot be cut with electric stovetur, since it destroys the cutting tool element. For cutting works, it is recommended to wear a protective suit, glasses, gloves and a respirator that protects against dust and small particles into the lungs.
How to cut tile manual tile
For carrying out the cuttle breaks, several types of manual tiles are used. By selecting a tool in the form of a forcepets, you should neatly cut off with a diamond cutter on the front side of the tile, then using the corner, break it into two fragments.
With the help of desktop manual stoveturosis, you can quickly cut the tile with a thickness of up to 15 mm. For this you need:
- feltaster to mark the markup on the workpiece;
- to lay the tile on the basis of glass cutter, while its wheel must match the markup;
- driving a tool handle, skip once the wheel marking line;
- fix the tile with the help of wings on both sides;
- easy to hit the handle to get the desired segment. If after several shots, it does not give in, it is better to repeat the cutting on another instance.
Attention! Cut a narrow fragment from the ceramic blank is easier if it has a dense structure.
If a rounded holes need to do on a tile - up to 80 mm diameter, it can be done with a circular cutter with a circular cutter. Cutting accuracy will help wetting the harvesting with water.
How to cut the tile glass cutter
In the absence of special devices, direct cuts of ceramic tiles can be made glass cutter. High-quality incisions can be done if the markup will be located at a distance of at least 0.8 cm from the edge.
Correct cutter glass cutter produced like this:
- for an hour to place it in the water container;
- then outline the line of the future incision with a felt-tip pen;
- setting the tile on a solid surface, and holding it with his hand, once, pushing evenly, spend on the markup of the glass cutter. When this manipulation, glass cutter should be kept at right angle and direct them. On the site of the planted line, a shallow groove should be formed under the action of glass cutter;
Using glass cutter
- to break it, it is necessary to put the capped tile on the stroke or pencil and hit the palm from the top, evenly distributing the power of the shock along the cut line.
Tip! Usually, the cutting of the glass cutter is produced, if you need to cut 2-3 pieces. To handle more tiles, it is recommended to use more advanced methods and tools.
The use of glass cutter for cutting of the tile is justified only when treating fine ceramic tiles.
How to cut a tile with a grinder
Using the grinder, you can independently perform straight and curly cutting of the tile of any thickness. To do this, the tool is installed accordingly or disk or a diamond circle for dry cut. As in working with a plottle, when using the Bulgarian, put on glasses and a respirator to protect themselves from dust and small fragments, which, when working with this tool, quite a lot is formed.
To properly cut the tile with a grinder, you should clean the surface of the workpiece and apply marking on it, then securely secure it with grips on the workbench. Cutting the blank blank, gently resting the cutting disc into its surface along the markup line. In the process of cutting, you should not try to capture the entire thickness of the tile, as it will break well from the outbreak.
Using Bulgarian
The main disadvantages of the application of the grinder when cutting the tile are:
- in the formation of a large amount of dust, so in working with the grinder, we must use glasses and a respirator or a construction vacuum cleaner;
- in the lower quality of the resulting cut, which will need to additionally grind.
Cutting tiles - one of the preparatory stages of cladding. You can perform it using various tools. Learn more detail how to cut the tile correctly, looking at the video.
