SnapStone Porcelain Tile Installation - Making the Cut

!±8± SnapStone Porcelain Tile Installation - Making the Cut

Discover the three methods and tools for cutting SnapStone porcelain tile. There are three ways you can cut your tile: with a wet saw, an angle grinder or a tile breaker. Wet saws are great for straight cuts and two-angle cuts. A tile breaker is only for straight cuts. It is good for around 90% of the cuts you will make on the job. A tile breaker is very transportable and great for tile installations on the levels above the ground floor. Score the SnapStone tile, pry it a bit, and score it a couple more times with a utility knife; the tile should then snap apart. And angle grinder is used for specialty cuts, like a circle or interior cut.

Husky Tile Saw

The Husky 7 inch wet tile saw, model number THD750L will probably cost you near 0 at most retailers. I bought mine at Home Depot and I'm happy to say I was overall very satisfied with the purchase but there are a few things I would take points away from.

First, the good news is the Husky tile saw probably cut as well as more expensive models on the 3/8 inch tile I was cutting for my living room project. The cuts were smooth and required little effort to make. I also appreciated that the water reservoir was large enough so that I didn't have to make refills until after many cuts. Furthermore, there was no clogging in the saw.

The main negative for the Husky wet saw was it's laser guide. Basically all the laser guide amounted to was a feature to draw you in and perhaps give the Husky an edge over other brands. The guide stopped working after just a few cuts because of a short circuit. When it was working, the line wasn't precise enough to rely. To make a cut off a laser line, you need a razor thin width and that wasn't the case with the Husky guide. If you're pondering a laser guide for this model or another, I will say that it helps at night.

Overall, I give this tile cutting saw a solid rating. I didn't need to force the tile through the saw blade and it had enough horsepower to easily handle basic home improvement jobs.
