Stone and Tile Cutter for Slimline Supportclip Installation by StoneClip

Slimline tradesperson's cutter

Stoneclip has developed a new simple cutter and jig for the tradesperson to use in preparing and installing Slimline Supportclips into the back of large format panels of stone or ceramic tiles. The cutter itself is an air driven saw requiring 6 cfm of air, with a 65mm x 2.00mm thick diamond blade, spinning at 20,000 rpm and penetrating the back of the tile or panel to a depth of 8mm.

The advantage of the 65mm in diameter blade is that it only makes a cut that is 45mm wide instead of the 65mm that is made when you use the 100mm wide blade.

You are able to determine and mark up the joint width for the tiles to be installed at by maintaining the 20mm positioning of the bottom fixing point always AND by altering the top fixing point to maintain the joint you require. The top measurement of 50mm means that you have a zero joint when the fixings are installed into the top of the tiles.

The photos describe and show the installation of a 0mm and a 2mm joint width, both with the epoxy applied to secure the fixings into position in the case of the 2mm joint (back of tile view) and a front view of the zero and 2mm joints when they are erected.
