cutting tiles on diagonal floor

[steve340]

can any one tell me an easy way of cutting the edge tiles on a diagonal floor , was shown a way of doing this at college , where you place one tile over the top of another , and place a third tile next to the wall and and drawn a line over the 2nd tile . I can get it to work on striaght cuts but not diagonal one ?

i am not very good at explaining in words mate but here goes, its pretty much the same way as for straight set, on your last FULL diagonal tile, lay a tile over it ( in diagonal ) , place a new tile flush up against the skirting board ( yes flush ) the tiles straight edge will now cover the diagonal tile you placed over the top of the other one, draw a line on your diagonal running your pencil along the straight set tile edge, you now have the diagonal marked to be cut,

hope this helps you

care to explain ? theres no mention of tiled skirting, or is that a sly dig from your previous posts? either way i am not bothered, just wanted to know

If they are ceramic tiles use a wet wheel, very difficult to cut at an angle otherwise
