How do i miter cut corners on wall tiles.

Place the piece of tile onto the tray of the miter saw. If you have to install full tiles along the internal corners we recommend you to spread tile adhesive directly to the wall by using a large notched trowel. Make a 45 degree inside miter cut on the piece to be coped. After i get the miter close with the diamond blade i switch to a 200 grit polishing pad which offers more control as i sneak up on the perfect miter.

Measure from the edge of the last tile in a course to the corner. Make repeated cuts along the score until you ve cut through the tile and subsurface. Use a spray bottle to wet the tile with water to reduce dust. Turn the angle gauge clockwise until it is oriented to the left hand 45 degree angle setting.

Mitering tile is definitely more advanced and takes an attention to detail many are not willing to give. Pull the angle grinder carefully along the cut line to score the tile. On the mitered cut mark the edge of the crown moulding profile with a pencil to give you a line to follow with your coping saw. Cut all the way through the trim to create the corner angle.

Then make the cope to fit into it. Wedge a small pry bar under the cut piece and gently pry it loose. Then position the trim to the right of the saw. In this video we will show how we miter subway tile.

On the first wall cut crown moulding for a butt joint in the corner. Cut a 45 degree angle in a piece of trim with a miter saw. Cut a tile at that width on your tile cutter. Subtract 1 4 inch from the measurement you come up with plus the width of a tile spacer.
