11. Making an "L" Cut
L-cuts are cuts that remove a piece of tile to fit in a corner, around a cabinet, or a piece of
molding and are made by two separate cuts.
NOTE: Only overcut on the bottom or underneath side of the workpiece being cut.
a. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the intended line of cut on both sides of the
workpiece.
b. Secure the workpiece.
c.
Start the saw.
d. Let the cut-off wheel reach its full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before engaging
the wheel into the workpiece.
e. Make the cut far enough into the workpiece without overcutting.
f.
When one side cut is made, release the trigger switch. Wait for the cut-off wheel to come
to a complete stop before removing the saw from the workpiece.
g. Turn the workpiece over and make the cut along one of the marks. This time overcut the
other line and the cut piece should separate from the rest of the workpiece.
h. Start the saw.
i.
Let the cut-off wheel reach its full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before engaging
the wheel into the workpiece.
