I've found a few glass tile cutting videos, this was the most thorough yet concise. I'm installing a glass tile backsplash today. Thank you for putting the effort into making this video!
That is a dangerous way to use any tablesaw!!! Get yourself a cheap, plastic Triangle-square that carpenters use and put it tight to the fence but have the fence an inch or so beyond the cut-distance. Slide the triangle along the fence and there will be no danger of the tile jamming and kicking back. Every cheap tile saw I've bought (3 and I still use 2 of them) comes with some form of miter-gauge but what I described will work well and safely.
@@timothyleclair8450 `Yes you can, I've done it!!! My comment was about the danger of kickback. It's a serious, dangerous accident when cutting the way you showed, whether it's on a wood-cutting table-saw or a tile wet-saw. If that piece of tile gets even a millimeter out of square to the blade it jams against the fence, breaks and flies back toward you.
We used www.flooranddecor.com/tile-mortars-and-thinsets-installation-materials/mapei-adesilex-p10-premium-glass-tile-mortar-951100087.html. Glass tile requires a unique mortar partly because you can see through the glass so you need a uniform color. We also used the additive www.flooranddecor.com/outdoor-installation-materials/mapei-keraply-latex-additive-for-tile-mortar-100213461.html. This increases the bond strength.
you were the only video I could find on youtube with actual information on how to cut glass tile and then actually cut the tile to demonstrate! Very well done and informative! Thank you so much!
