I have just finished a set of 4-1/4" square tiles. I used a 1/16 two flute TIAN coated ball cutter. I am amazed that it is still quite sharp. We painted the tiles today, and should be fired this week some time. Hopefully I can post some picks for next weekend.

Thanks for the inspiration! I would never have guessed tile could have been cut.

I hope you can attend this years Vectric/aspire/workshop here in Guelph. I'd to see more of your work.

I'll try do do up a proper report Monday when I get back in the shop.

I found the tiles at a place called "Play with Clay" here in Guelph. The cost of the tile included painting and firing at the store.

We painted today, and it will take till next Saturday to have them fired. I will definitely post finished pictures.
