View Full Version : Cutting hard tiles gregh 06 March 2003, 11:14 I have a tile saw which worked fine on my bathroom tiles, but is proving to be a b*tch on the kitchen ones, which must be harder. I put a brand new 'blade' in, but after 15mins of on and off sawing I'm only about a cm into the tile! Can you get better blades, or is there a better solution? thanks, greg David_Wallis 06 March 2003, 11:28 Electric tile cutter...
