How To Smooth Out Rough Edges Of A Cut Tile

In this video, I show you how to smooth out the rough edges of a cut tile. Whenever I cut a tile, it ends up having a very rough and jagged edge. This happens, whether I use a manual tile cutter or a wet saw. The simple solution is to use a sanding stone or rubbing stone. I show you exactly how to use it to get rid of the rough edges on a tile!

Don’t understand all the neg comments tbh. Hadn’t occurred to me to try a whetstone but it does work to quickly grind the edge flat of both the surface glaze and ceramic back. I used with basic 150 x 150mm white tiles and opted to keep whetstone still on the deck & rub tile along the stone, worked perfect for me, many thanks 👍🏻

This is probably the worst DIY video I've ever seen and I love it.

thanks for the video i found it helpful, after watching another video where he mentioned "i always stone my cut edges that are showing" I didnt know what that meant

[daveklassen]

what would really have helped in this video would have been some links to where I could see someone actually smoothing out a tile

Use a minigrider with an orange Walter enduroflex blade for awesome results fast!!

I'm sorry, which side is the "blue side"? I don't want to mess this up...

[gdblackthorn]

This is a wet stone; you are supposed to use it wet!

Why don’t you lay the tile on a raised surface and then run the grinding stone against it along the lower surface at right angles, modifying later as you’ve demonstrated. That way you would achieve a more even finish.

[ArisAng-uvyf]

you can't even finish up that small area before ending your video, you didn't wet the sanding stone. All misinformation that will lead newbies to a lot of wasted effort

Be better off using some kind of diamond or grinding bit for a drill or router. It would be more efficient in every way (time, money, and quality performance). I couldn't imagine an $8 whetstone lasting that long if you are doing high volume jobs. Opinions?

video is a joke! he didn't even scratch the surface. it's not that easy. you got to put a shoulder behind it and sand the hell out of it!

A lot of losers posting here. Offer the kid some advice instead of acting like a clown in the comment section.

What kind of tile are you honing? What grit are you using?

Re-tittle: How NOT to smooth out the edges of a poorly cut tile.

[aprillynsinger]

Anyone who can answer this, please do (thanks). Our kitchen island has tile around the edges. It was done long ago and it wasn't done well. Some of the tile edges are exposed (the grout doesn't fill the gap completely) and the tile edges are rough/sharp. For years I have wondered why all of my tee shirts develop small holes on the front. I actually thought it was from my cat's claws! I realized though that it's from leaning against the island while prepping food. Have the same issue with the bathroom sink counter and kitchen sink counter. I am wondering if I can use a rubbing stone to smooth the tile edges in the areas where we are mostly likely to come into contact with the tile before I fill in the gaps between tiles? Is this rubbing/sanding stone the same as a wet stone? We have one that we use to sharpen kitchen knives. From reading comments it sounds like there are different grits. I found a set online of stones that has a few different grits. It's made for sharpening knives. Do you think this would work? I'd be using for just a few tiles, not ongoing, so it doesn't have to last, I'm just not sure if it's the same sort of tool. Thanks for any tips!

Are you really going to fit that tile looking like that??

[kwizmon]

That tile isn't straight even after grinding. What the heck are you doing bruv? What a mess.

[mikecrook]

Your wordy explanation is due to being over-specific. In other words, you say much more than is needed. Smoothing a rough edge of tile with a wet stone isn't rocket science.

[fantastickaraoke]

It is still rough didn't even make a penetration on the tile wtf are you doing
