TILE SAW TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS - 3 CUTS YOU NEED TO KNOW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 ноя 2020
- In this video I show the 3 most common cuts on a tile saw. The straight rip, the "L" cut, and the "U" cut. I show how to use a D2400 wet tile saw to make all three of these cuts in a porcelain 12x24 tile. 12x24 tile is probably the most popular tile format, and not all saws will cut these tiles easily. By knowing how the saw blade works and using plunge cut action, beginners will have much more success.
The rip cut is the most common, and is used to make cuts against a strait wall or window. The "L" cut is commonly used to cut around walls, shower niches, and windows. The "U" cut is mostly used for cutting around door jambs and walls.
Please wear proper safety equipment such as eye and ear protection while operating a tile saw.

Thanks so much for your instruction. I am a DIY getting ready to attempt a bathroom. Going to purchase same Ridgid saw you used on the travel video. I think it will be plenty to accomplish 2 bathrooms. thanks again for all the instructional videos.
Do you think I should also purchase a 24 inch snap cutter or just do everything with the ridgid 7 inch saw?
I'm no tile coach but I just finished a full bathroom remodel this evening. I used the 7" rigid saw. Depending on your tile,a snap cutter might be useless. If you can use a snap cutter, it's much nicer to be able to do it right in the bathroom with no mess. It took me a long time so waste was an issue as well. Thinset and grout are difficult to remove once hardened and dumping the buckets and tools stains and ruins anything it touches. Good luck to you. Have fun. It can get unnerving.
@@lockwooddave Thanks for the info it will be a little while before I start but with all the tool sales going on now I am going to start picking stuff up now.
Best instructional video I seen so far! Thanks for taking the time to explain the two saw styles!!
You can tell this guy is a real pro because he's not wearing safety glasses. We call that confidence and familiarity.
Safety squints baby
@@chucklebutt4470 No ear protection. When I was young, like u I didn't wear ear protection when using power tools. Now that I'm old, my ears have paid the price. I learned my lesson and wear ear protection whenever I use power tools. It may be a little late but at least I won't go completely deaf. And wear eye protection. I've done a lot of tile work and when using a saw, pieces are libel to fly when u least expect it. Thanks for the video.

I learned a lot from this video, but we "beginners" would be seriously lucky to own, or have access to, the D2400 by DeWalt, at $900. It seems to be easy to use, and it cuts tiles like butter. For a small tile job, which many of us need help with, a machine like this is out of reach, if not impractical. I'd love to see Isaac do a video, teaching us how to use the Skil 7-inch. At $100, it's NOT the best tile cutting saw, but for small jobs, it beats ALL the alternatives. You just need someone to show you how to manage the flaws of the machine.
Another solid video.
Tip: You can use a 4.5" angle grinder with a diamond wheel to clean up the radius at the base of the cut on the backside of the tile instead of trying to balance a big tile against a 10" blade on the wet saw.
Absolutely brilliant!
Very proud of you. Keep going...

Thank you for your tips for a DIY pro! I appreciate you and the time you took to help so many others. I did not appreciate others saying there is a better faster way without showing a video of how they would do it.
You are freaking awesome. You make it loom so easy. I have tiled a few times over the last 20 years, and I wish as skilled as you are. It's always a struggle for me. I never learned all these tips you are teaching. Super helpful. Thank you!!
Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I'm learning a lot from your videos.
Thank you for all the information that we are getting from you, God bless you and your family.
So glad I watched this video. I've used the plunge cut method on a tile that was too wide on one side to accommodate my tile. To do the "U-cut" I've always done 10 to 15 Cuts along the inside of the U. And then I would clean up the straight line with the blade. This makes way more sense and a lot less time-consuming. Plus, it's a whole lot cleaner... sometimes you just need somebody to show you the obvious.
I appreciate you taking the time to make such a "Basic" informational video!
Pretty great showing ppl how to get better.
✌🏼
Great video. Thanks.
THANK FOR THE LESSONS COACH, YOU DEFINETLY KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING
Thanks so much for all the tips. Its really helpful
I just finished remodeling my bathroom because of all your tutorial and also Startile which i found on one of your video. I'm also around Sac area and hoping to meet you someday. Thank so much!
I love this channel, I was in construction years ago but now just do work on my own house
awesome video !!!!!!! im sooooo happy i found this i love it when professional share tricks of the trade . Thank you !
Fantastic, super helpful video. I’m about to attempt my kitchen backsplash, and this has been crucial. Thanks so much, Coach!
You’re welcome!
You the man keep those awesome videos coming
Excellent video well done.....thanks
Thank you for all your insightful videos, I've learned so much by watching and listening to your videos. One piece of advice I would have for you would be, please wear your safety Glasses every time time you're using any power tool!
The music is sooooo Miami vice! I love it!
Really great. Thank you.
Such a pro!
Great video!
Good man thankyou.
I know you are a pro and you absolutely know what your doing. You also are setting an example for all the DIY ers out the and also pro’s. Please put safety glasses on. All it takes is for a tile edge to fly up in your eyes and that’s it. Your career could be over and your life forever changed. Your an awesome dude and that would be a shame brother.
I wish you lived in Toronto Canada. Do you ever come out this way?
I was thinking ear protection. I have this saw and cutting porcelain without muffs would have my ears ringing for weeks.
Never had anything hit my eye by cutting tile with a wet
saw in 16 yrs, but cutting porcelain definitely need earmuffs!
Great videos. I’ve been doing tile for years and still learning. One thing that’s missing in your videos is “Safety Equipment” Eye, ear and nose… take it from an old guy who thought he was invincible. My hearing is gone, my lungs have small spots from breathing to much dust that their watching for cancer, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve taken bits in my eye’s.
Safety Equipment is annoying, but not being able to hear and fighting Silicosis in your lungs is by far worse.
Good one
thanks a bunch!
Life coach☀️
Thanks!
great informative video! I just sunscribed!!!
Appreciate u 💪🏾
Great info thank you Isaac.!
Thanks bro i will be looking out for you I love the idea of how you do your cut all the way from DOMINICA West Indies ROSEAU
I would really like to see you showing round cuts, especially inside the tile.
Groovy!!!
Doing my first tile project, a shower... I also watched your shower slope with skreet guides video... Thanks for the tips & tricks...
OHSA has entered the building
No safety glass
It’s OSHA. He’s also at home not at work
I have a Felker saw and it allows the motor and blade to be raised up works similar to the dewalt but better. I've never cut a tile larger than 16x16 on it , got a job coming up installing 12 x 24 that will be a challenge.
Hey Isaac, any tips on setting up tile saws and dialing them in? Some may cut straight right outta the box but sometimes tables or rails need adjustments. Any tips for those?
Interesting and illustrative video: thanks for sharing your knowledge!
What kind of stone do you use to refine tile cuts?
Step 1 of tile class. Get your safety glasses.
Yup ive had a tile chip to the eye before lol
You’ll chip your eye out kid
Step 2 - hearing protection
6:32 wipes debris from right eye…. Yep, safety glasses or a face shield would have been nice.
Step 3. Wear cut resistant gloves when holding the tile and cutting it.
Man your videos are super helpful and I setting up light on niche because of you. Suggestion, could place the name of all material you use in your videos.
Good video and tips but I don’t see too many beginners or at least DIY home owners free cutting tiles like this when doing a U cut. A lot of beginners have never even seen a tile saw and most wouldn’t be comfortable holding a tile under a spinning blade and lifting it up to make the cuts free hand. A video like this is definitely more for an apprentice or laborer working in the construction field.
I just did it. First time ever using a husqvarna.
Actually cut two square outlet openings.
No issues!
Hey Issac, how do you cut tile on a curve for a corner quarter round shower base? Also, what's the best way to measure the tile for those cuts? Great video btw! Super helpful!
Great video. When will the more challenging cuts video be coming ? Or did you alrdy do it? I couldn't find it on your page. Thanks for the free help. Much appreciated.
Good stuff, I also have that Dewalt D24000 saw, it's much better than my old Ridgid
Lol I bet you do. Lol nice 👌
Me too
Oh yeah
What's you preference for a wet blade for porcelain?
@@phillippettit2138 So far I have just used the blade that came with the saw. I don't think there was a perfect porcelain saw blade out there it still chips a little bit no matter what
@@phillippettit2138 i like the Porcellana blade by Alpha, smoothest cutting blade i've used... buy them online [10"] for $97ea. generally get mine from Virginia tile, distributor. i'm a remodeling contractor and do baths & kitchens
Every cut I do I cut a chanel down the tile snd cut both sides all the way this way it's faster and straighter. Also there is less pressure on the tile no chips or breaks.
I want to start doing schluter showers and bathroom remodels with my son. I've done a few, however my fused spine and possible hip replacement may hinder me. Been on disability since 2011 after spine fused, but I.cant sit around...i have to build!!!!!!!
Great information. A question I have is, why does one blade cut better than another? I am not seeing you file any tiles. I have only installed porcelain.
Speaking of the Dewalt 24000, is there any alignment videos that you know of out there that are actually good? I got one new and it was off by just about 1/16 on a rip cut on a 12" tile. It drove me mad. The tile would push on the table as it's going through. I made the mistake of trying to align it and now its ready to die by sledge hammer because it is unusable! There is no rime or reason on how to get this thing to cut straight. Dewalt wants $250 for an alignment which for that I'll go get a new one and hope for the best. Great video as always!!
No eyes 👀 protection , very daring !!!
Appreciate
Also if the stray has any side to side movement, you can tighten the wheels. It'll lock it back in place
Do you position the blade in the middle of your marks or on the outer line to allow for the thickness of the blade?
I'm 24 now and I started doing general remodeling about 6 years ago, I've had some pretty messed up jobs because of the lack of information on tiling there was, but I learned through that and now I can say confidently I could work alongside you. Love the videos
6 years isn’t enough to work alongside him lol maybe under him yeah
@@jcdominguez9243 yeah you're probably right, but at the same time i have seen some bad work done by people that have been supposedly doing it for over 10 years. It all depends on the person I suppose
That’s true. I’m 8 years in and just when I think I’m really good I get a project that humbles me and makes me realize how much more I have to go lol
My 10" Dewalt used to cut 1/16 off out of a 24" tile. I had to mark both sides, mark it with a pencil and follow the line with the blade. The sigma was actually way better and faster for straight cuts.
Issac! Where did you get that top from? Also I was cutting marble tiles recently. I cut in from both ends to stop the last bit of tile chipping off. Is that the best way I guess?
Hi, good technique, please tell what grid polish stone you used?
this should be a safety training video of what not to do
Can you cut thicker tiles (for example shower curb tiles) with this dewalt tile saw?
i use a jigsaw sometimes got a bit that is for cutting stone fits right on there usually only use it for corners, dewalt jigsaw not exspensive bit either dont use them much but have it when i need it and home depot carries it lowes too ones i see mostly made by qep
I am interested in watching the second cut (the square cut at the bottom of the tile but not in the middle of the bottom but closer to the edge of the bottom where you end up with a thin and lond piece of tile that easily snaps off when trying to do the second cut. It is usually required for electrical sockets, thanks advance.
ive noticed that when using the wet saw,because of the circular blade, it cuts the bottom of the tile further ahead of the top. This presents a problem if you are cutting say and L-shape in which you want to leave a tiny piece of piece intact. How do you prevent this?. Thank you
Isaac, I'm having difficulty making straight cuts with my Rigid wet saw. When I try to make a long straight cut and check for parallel, the beginning width of the finished piece is almost always a sixteenth to an eighth of an inch different then at the end of the cut. I'm using the same technique you demonstrated in your video.
check to see if blade is warped it will get warped if you forcing the tile in (friction makes heat will heat up blade and when it cools will warp it )or you are pushing it a certain way ,and also if your using a guide check it with a square might be the guide is off i notice they sometimes shift when tighten down
Do you have any experience with the milwaukee cut off tool?
D24000 is the Tile Mans WorkHorse
What rub stone do you recommend?
we have 48 X 48 and my guys are having problems for cutting this large tile to go around the niche? Its cracking and chipping, can you assist on how to make good cuts for large porclain for a steam shower?
Thank you.
Question do you have invisible safety glasses?
it would be great to list the special tools you use, saw blade that you prefer, any other supplies that you find to be practical for ceramic tile work. Thank you
4 1/2" VARIABLE SPEED Angle grinder. Diamond encrusted blade for marble and granite. Y can do your major cuts with your tile saw and clean up with your grinder
Great work. Thank You. Please consider reducing the noise of the music. I had to literally increase volume when you speak and reduce when the music comes.
How do you make longer straight rip cuts? My tiles are wood like 6x36 and my Dewalt saw doesn't go that far.
Please wear safety glasses
How much was that dewalt chop saw? My Kobalt brand does not have anywhere near that capacity for rip cuts.
Does anyone make something similar to a scroll or jig saw with a straight blade for cutting tile?
I was today years old when I found out that your tile saw *isn't* supposed to be off a degree. I've been scoring sharpie lines for this rigid saw.
Not get off topic but can you substitute and use a different kind of caulk or silicone instead of Keri fix please let me know if you know of any substitute thanks for all the videos, I'm a big fan
Yes, a good silane based sealant will work.
@@TileCoach thanks for replying and I appreciate your videos.
When your Sony camera focuses, the picture looks great. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen as often as it should.
as a first timer this is a golden video! thank you!
May I ask.... what I am still confused is about calculating before starting the tile job, the total depth of the project as I need to make it level with the existing hard wood floor of the adjacent room. while the depth of the tile and the underlayment (ditra product) are fixed, the 2 layer of mortar or adhesive are my question mark. If I apply a layer of mortar with a 1/4 inch tool, the moment that I place the tile over it and press to set, the layer won't be 1/4 anymore, but less. how deep with the mortar layer be after the tile application above it?
I am struggling withe a rigid 10 wet saw. Trying to long rip cuts and coming out with pregnant cut in center or different lengths at bothe ends. Please help
👍🏻
WE ALL DO SOME TYPE OF FACIAL EXPRESSION WHEN USING THE WET SAW. LOL
I have a small project that I wanted a nice finish I tried manual cutter was crap but bought a cheap wet saw and I found a lot of chips and wasn't a straight cut....I want to do this job myself but can't justify spending loads on tools that I'd hardly use
Anyone know what that thing is that he uses to touch up the cuts? That little block he holding?
Strongly suggest hearing protection while cutting tile.
What rubbing stone do you use
Isn't there a custom jig of some sort to assist in a lift cuts? Or maybe use a smaller hand held saw to finish the inside corner cuts? Practice on a scrap pc first.
Can you cut a L shape tile with a manual cutter?
I have a huge piece of tempered glass that I want to cut into 3rds. (65 X 35 X 1/2")
It seems too unwieldy to put onto any tray.
What is the best way/ tools to cut a large piece of glass like this?
Thanks!!
It will shatter...Cant cut tempered glass
@@TileCoach yep gotta use the old glass cutter lol
Any chance you could show the saw with blade from below
👍🏽
Do kickbacks happen with tile saws too?
Yes they do, hes really handling that tile dangerously
Not really on a wet saw. But sometimes what happens is the blade will be pinched and pull the tile away. But you just pull it back out and try to continue.
what blade is that on the dewalt
I've been trying to cut a square into a 12x24 porcelain tile. I'm using a wet saw with a diamond blade but the tiles keep cracking when I make this one side of the square. Any ideas?
cuts like that have to stay laying on a flat surface. Lifting your piece or an uneven surface will warrant a break every time. try an Angle grinder. with a blade designed for marble not granite. totally different blades. and some material break faster than others
