On more delicate glass tile I switch to a MK-215GL Glass Diamond Blade. I used on this project a slightly used MK Hot Dog blade for this glass tile.

They do make profile wheels that can bullnose then. Its better to buy a metal or plastic tile edge. Hi Katie,

I am putting up a backsplash and the individual tiles are only .65" x 1.85". Some of the cuts I've made (just practicing) are not quite perfect. Can I polish them or at least gently round the edge?

The tiles we like are a mosaic grouping on mesh, each tile being approx 1.4 in by 2 in. My husband thinks it won't be necessary to get a wet saw to make the cuts we need because of the size of the tiles... Is he right; will a glass cutting tool do the job?

I just have a quick question for you (I see this was posted over a year ago) But I have just installed glass subway tiles in my shower and need to drill a hole to put up the rod for the shower door is there a specific bit that should be used? Also what do you recommend for temporarily marking glass tile (so I know exactly where to drill) Thanks for any suggestions you can give, Dave Great blog!
