Compound miters are another story. I’ve rented a good tile saw before and used some crappy ones, and none of them had a tilt blade that would allow you to do compound miters like you can on a compound miter saw for wood. You could make a jig. I would call a local tool rental place and see if one exists.<BR/><BR/>Also, if your choice is to buy a crappy $100 wet tile saw or rent a very good one for $50, I would rent the good one. Install as much tile as you can and leave the corners for last on the chair rail, and then rent the tile saw for a half day and do it right. The crappy $100 wet tile saws do not have a big enough blade to make it through the chair rail tile in once pass.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-49823792862475651532007-06-19T10:34:00.000-07:002007-06-19T10:34:00.000-07:00Caution: self serving comment below.I have a big b...Caution: self serving comment below.<BR/><BR/>I have a big blog-crush on you. Just found your blog and am LOVING it.<BR/><BR/>Here's my question: we're doing a very similar subway tile job in our bathroom (DIY). Same chair rail effect, too, with the changing heights around the shower/tub area. And, we're planning to similarly trim it all with chair rail.<BR/><BR/>However, we would like to use the matching *tile* chair rail. Is that possible? I'm thinking there are compound mitre cuts needed here but can they be done on tile chair rail?<BR/><BR/>I am just looking for any sort of a lead here that your sagesse may provide....<BR/><BR/>Thank you and keep up the great work!Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012721900260853690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-40268385154828633872007-06-18T21:36:00.000-07:002007-06-18T21:36:00.000-07:00you are teh man. it looks beautiful. buy the marbl...you are teh man. it looks beautiful. buy the marble. you know how you are. git it. after your labors on the tile, dude, you deserve it. you might be being penny wise there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-91514342190749233862007-06-18T17:29:00.000-07:002007-06-18T17:29:00.000-07:00Aaron,No.The story is, I made those bad-boys.Thank...Aaron,<BR/><BR/>No.<BR/>The story is, I made those bad-boys.<BR/>Thanks.<BR/>No.<BR/><BR/>anonymous #1 - Thank you.<BR/><BR/>anonymous #2 - I know, I know.
