In the last blog, we showed some procedures for cutting marble mosaic tiles. As a beginner, you may ask, are there any skills to improve the cutting accuracy? The answer is YES. Whether installing a marble mosaic floor tile in the bathroom or installing a marble mosaic tile backsplash in the kitchen, before cutting works start, the more you learn and the more preparation you do, the higher the cutting accuracy will be.
The following are some skills to consider.
1. Use high-quality tools when cutting stone mosaic tiles. Buying a professional stone-cutting machine is important because a professional cutter is multi-functional and it provides better control and accuracy. Moreover, test the cutting blade and make sure it is sharp enough, an unsharp blade will affect the cutting speed and accuracy. Before the formal cutting, you can do a test cut can be made on the scrap to confirm the accuracy of the tools and techniques.
2. Measure and mark accurately. Using good measurement tools is also important, such as a good measuring tape, a straightedge ruler, and a triangular ruler. Mark the cutting lines straight and flatly with a pencil or marker pen, some small corners need a triangular ruler to make the cutting area more accurate.
3. Fixing the cutting mosaic tile sheets is a key point. Put an anti-slip mat on the worktop, then put the tile in and fix it stably. Because thin mosaic tile sheets only have a maximum thickness of 10mm and will move when cutting, it is better to use some clamps to fix the mat and tile.
4. Grasp the cutting technique is essential. When cutting the stone mosaic tiles, keep an equably cutting speed, and avoid pushing too hard or too slow, this will reduce the cutting error. When using a manual cutter, the line can be crossed several times until the stone is cracked, which can improve the accuracy of the cutting.
5. Grinding the edges and adjusting. After cutting is finished, grinding the cut edges with sandpaper will make sure the cutting edges are not sharp and safe.
Cutting marble mosaic tile seems like simple work, but you may not know where to start if you don’t do enough preparation and have zero experience. Practice makes perfect. Improve your cutting skills with practice. Furthermore, watch cutting videos by professionals and learn their techniques and methods. With these tips, you can significantly improve the accuracy when cutting stone mosaics, ensuring a better final result.
