Tips for Using Tile for granite

When you buy stoneware tiles, in front of you the question arises: what kind of tile cutter for porcelain tiles to choose?

On the market there are several types of ceramic tiles, you can choose - matte, polished, waxed for sanitary facilities or glazed.

Technical characteristics - high strength, low water absorption and stable, not prone to abrasion, drawing - made porcelain is much more popular than his brother - a tile.

If there is practically no difference, cutting granite is significantly different in the process of laying and cutting tiles and ceramic tiles.

tile - light and fragile material - it is possible to cut glass cutter.Porcelain tiles - a dense and durable material, so using a special tool for him - Tile.

To help you decide which one to choose, we will consider the order of operation manual tile and electric version, tell us how to cut granite each of them.

Handmade Tile

The most important advantages of a manual tile cutter - is low cost and the ability to cut in areas where there is no or unstable electricity.

Most often it is used to prepare the tiles for laying in small amounts, for example in the sanitary rooms of a private house.

external manual tile cutter for cutting granite is similar to an ordinary glass cutter - rigid foundation on her two guides between which moves the holder with fixed carbide wheel.

Job manual tile happens so - pencil applied to future cutoff line is fixed on the basis of granite Tile so that the clip was precisely deposited at the line, lift the handle device and start cutting by pressing on the handle and carrying roller from one end to the other.

to the edge of the cut tiles remained steady, try to cut in one motion.Edge roughness obtained by several notches, can be further corrected.

turns on ceramic granite cut by which cleavage will occur.Lift Tile handle lock tabs in the middle of the slice and smoothly, with even pressure to push down the handle.

Rift granite will be made clear on canvas applied.If all the actions carried out correctly and with the necessary force, the cut will be even.

If you find any flaws, the cut surface can be sanded disk stone mounted on grinders.

Before the first use of manual tile cutter and, after a long work necessary to verify that the holder moves smoothly along the guide rails, the handle is raised and lowered easily.

Before starting, make sure that the roller is firmly fixed.Otherwise tighten it by tightening the locking screws.

If the course is difficult or moving roller holder, you can drop them in the oil.Roller with significant wear must be replaced, or not enough deep canvas will not provide an accurate fault.

Make a few test cuts.If they turn out flat, then you can start cutting granite.

Models manual tile enough, most of them have similar features.

Most often used the cut tiles in a straight line, but some models are equipped with the ability to cut at an angle or cut holes.

manual tile fit perfectly if you have a small amount of granite masonry (eg, only in the bathroom).In this case you can not overpay and buy electric.

When the planned laying porcelain tiles on the floor and walls of a private house or office building, it is justified by the purchase of an electric tile cutter.

Electric

Tile Tile Electric has simple device - cutting process it is realized by the drive.

Electric ploskorezy can be divided into three groups - suhorezy, mokrorezy and industrial tools for waterjet cutting granite.

third group because of the large weight, large size and high price is not used in private construction.The quality of the cut in such Tile does not differ from the factory.

addition, these functions are implemented by software cut any contour.

If you want to do without Tile or, on the contrary, cut pieces on the granite, then you can make an order for enterprises providing services for industrial cutting.

Which instrument to choose?Electric tile type "suhorez" - this is a common Bulgarian, mounted with its drive to "Diamond" coating.The disc is not continuous and has slits.

When cutting this type Electric tile is important to shift the line of 1-2 mm in a big way.Res produce directing grinders to him.Chipped and bumps with this method of cutting unavoidable.

They are easily polished using the same grinder, but a set stone for grinding.

Try to cut the plate in one motion.Cut slowly with the same pressure on the tool.This will provide a smaller number of chips.

We work suhorezom has some significant drawbacks.The most important - the technological complexity of the process and high samotravmirovaniya risks.

excess pressure on the disc if it contains a marriage can lead to a fault in the drive time of cutting and separation of fragments.It is important to observe safety precautions.

Since during operation will scatter a large amount of dust of different fractions, it is necessary to work in the glasses with a protective coating, protecting from the split.

important nuance work suhorezom - start and finish the cut at low speeds.The sharp increase in the number of revolutions can split granite.

During the cutting plate is firmly pressed to the base Tile.This will help to dampen vibration inevitably encountered due to the movement of the cutting device.

Affordable Tile this electric technology has a significant drawback - the need for additional operating cycle for grinding sections.

in home construction increases the time it finishes, and in the case of contracted teams - leads to an increase in the cost of services.

Electric Tile, which has a function of minimizing the chipping cut, called mokrorezom.

As ploskorez manual, electric consists of the basis on which, in fact, happening cutting material, and the drive, which is powered by the cutting circle.

Gres is pressed against the base, and the guides are fixed cutting wheel.

device can be used for a long cycle in which the working surfaces inevitably have overheated.

To minimize the excessive heating of parts and porcelain tiles, electric tile cutter is equipped with a cooling water feature.

In some models water comes immediately to disk, and other cutting itself occurs by partial immersion of the material and the cutting device in water.

The sections thus obtained were much more smooth and even and does not need further polishing.

Such a device is suitable for cutting all types of tiles, but it is necessary for each type of pick up your disk for wet cutting.

More expensive models Electric tile can be equipped with additional devices for cutting at an angle.

They will be used if you plan to design repair, and line laying porcelain tiles are parallel to the floor and the ceiling line.

When you have to choose an electric tile cutter, then pay attention not only on the set of functions, but also on the producer.

tool that is much cheaper than its counterparts, will almost certainly have some flaws.

The Electric tile no complicated parts, but there are technological requirements to rigidity.

Video:

material components responsible for the stiffness of the fastening of the cutting mechanism, can not match to undergo stress and tension.

Therefore, before purchasing an electric tile cutter look closely, there is provided the opportunity to tighten the locking bolts or replace the moving head.

If in doubt, then you should choose a more expensive similar tools.

As you can see, in choosing Tile and use it for porcelain is no big deal.Now you can carry out cutting of materials such as manual or electrical device.
