Without cut tiles Tile. simple device

Sometimes the willingness and ability to put the tiles with his hands rests on the lack of Tile cutters or grinders that baffles and causes to delay work on onny term. Let's see what you can use in such cases, not begging tool from a neighbor and without unplanned costs, especially if tiles are not so many cuts and basically simple linear.

In addition to homemade Tile should prepare a few more building details: Pobeditovym drill tip to the drill or grinder, a pencil, a corner (ruler), a rag.

Build a homemade Tile

Note that in the picture above (Photo 2) all the tools are in the already finished homemade jig. It remains only to understand how it is built and how it works.

On the farm found old casing and trim laminate, Which went into business. It would be even better if there were a board 20-40 mm and a width of 150 mmBut alas, so make one available. Wrung all the screws 30 and 20 mm.

Here all the details have not yet seen the assembled device (Photo 3)Calculated on the tile width up to 30 cm. If the tiles more, harvesting costs increase.

Laminate He went on to make two support planes between the pieces between the casing. And the design can be modified, this is only a pilot sample.

The thickness of the casing of 10 mm, which is slightly more than the thickness of the tiles (it is 8 mm). Later it became clear that the gap of 2 mm turned out great, so when cutting between the tile and laminate flooring has used a cardboard box with packaging that puts on top.

cutting tiles

I decided for example to cut off tile format 25x40 cm 10 cm wide strip. He applies a label pasted inside "plitkorezki" to press on the laminate of the his foot and along the edge with a force several times spent most critical part pobeditovye tip of the drill. After this has taken to cut off part of the tile through the towel and otlamal two hands.

On picture 5 shows what quality turned fracture. I liked the result. I will say from experience, not every manual tile cutter so give a straight line. Even I tried to cut a fragment of tile on the diagonal, inserting the cut part into homemade and also came out well, as you can see on the bottom 6 shot.

This could accommodate the cut strip 4-5 cm in width, less did not work, as the design lacks stiffness - with a break on top of the load is large, and it raises a little. I think if you would take to manufacture poperechek board, at least 20 mm, the narrow segments would get too bad.
