The best way to cut quartz tiles

When installing a quartz floor, you must cut the tiles to fit against the walls and surrounding objects. Since they have a tough surface, they cannot be cut with a normal hand tool. You can use a diamond crusted blade, that is, a wet saw.

Here are the steps for cutting quartz tile: Lay the tile on the floor and measure the exact area you need to cut. To get a straight cut, use a square or rectangle. Place the cardboard on the surface of the tiles and trace their edges. Or you can also measure the surface cuts using a tape measure and colored chalk. You can buy or rent the wet saw. They are available at all regular home improvement stores and tile stores. Attach the saw according to the instructions given in the manual. Secure the hardware firmly with bolts and nuts. Now secure the wet saw firmly to the stand and make sure it does not come off and cause damage. Diamond blade is the right tool for cutting quartz because they are stronger than quartz and are one of the natural stones. Before turning on the wet saw, check if the water tank is completely filled with warm water. Cover your face and mouth with protective gear, so the dust particles thrown up by the tiles do not cause any respiratory problems. Wear glasses to protect your eyes. Before cutting, let the saw tip run at high speed and immerse the saw blade in cooling lubricating oil because quartz has an extremely dense surface and during cutting the blade may break. And also by applying the solution to the surface of the wet saw, the tool becomes very cool and does not heat up during cutting. Now place the tile on the wet saw table. Carefully move the pencil mark on the tile towards the blade and press the tile with your finger to cut the quartz tiles in the proper direction. Check the cut piece to fit your space. If it does not fit with the proper measurements, cut the tiles again or try to do it with a new piece. If you are sure you have cut to the exact measurement, continue. Once you have fully completed the task, change the speed of the saw to the lowest mode and run the diamond blade through the water to decrease the heat and once it is cool, turn the saw off.

Here are some safety tips during the cutting process.

Wear all the necessary protections to protect yourself. During mowing, keep children and pets away. Use a diamond-tipped blade to cut quartz tiles.
