I’m finishing a basement for a customer who wants to lay almost 1,000 so ft of 18 inch tile on the diagonal. I’ve laid a decent amount of tile but never any this large. All the wet saws I’ve rented and seen for sale say they won’t diagonally cut 18 inch tiles. Can you cut halfway through and then flip the tile and cut from the other direction or would it be better to rip them with some sort of diamond blade on a circular saw. Any thoughts on this or other tips on working with large tile would be appreciated.
