I have tried using a hand grinder but the tile is very solid and strong. All i get is sparks.
Even if I leave out the 1.5mm space for grouting (which i dont want to) I still cant get it in.
Anyone with experience know what to do? Thanks
Suggestion on Wall Tiles Not fitting
Page 1 of 1
I was tiling my kitchen space in subway pattern only to discover that the wall is not perfectly square. So half the space at top is to small for the tile by about 2-3mm.

Sounds like the grinding blade issue to be honest, you should be using a blade similiar to the attached and remember they are directional when you put it on the grinder.
Other than that it looks sexy!! Well done!!

Critical that it is a continuous blade, like this.

For someone with no experience it looks fantastic. Let me know if you need some pointers for grouting it.
Please make sure you wear ear and eye protection will grinding tiles, they make an absolute mess of you when things go wrong.
Also be sure to send those finished pictures and show off the great work
