Oh dear..the shattering porcelain again! 3rd time is not lucky..its painful to see them shatter! Brad looks like a defeated man 😂😨😨brilliant way round that issue mate with the larger manhole! Those ox levels match your tshirts brilliantly, is that a coincidence 🤔😂 that van is looking very tidy too mate! Fantastic work like always lads! Always love to see the end product! Keep up the brilliant work! (Them sleepers look mint with the varnish too!) Have a great weekend lads!🍻🍻🍻
Hya mate hope your well challenged our resolve this one but all done now move on client is happy Izzy. OX copied our colour shits mate 🤣 😂 no just coincidence mate . Thanks for the comments enjoy the weekend mate Justin 👍 💯🧱🧱
Had similar problems with cuts and stumbled on this video. Cutting on a fairly thick bed of sand helped me. Made me feel a bit better knowing the pros find it just as hard, I was definitely feeling like Brad after my third break! Thanks for the vid and great solution 👍🏻
Pulling our hair out with it to be honest but its done now .sometimes just got to step back and go back to things with a different plan . Thanks for the comments hope your well . Justin 👍
Well done you dodged the bullet there Justin and fair play to you I love your honesty so many people on here wouldn't show this. I Feel your pain, iv been in this situation a couple of times and it can swallow up a full day in no time. I try an stick to the real Italian porcelain now as it seems to cut beautiful rather than that verified stuff as its just a to brittle to cut. Keep the videos coming 👍.
Subscribed hows you mate ? Yea the Italian stuff is better as we all no this polish porcelain was lighter to pick up aswell so that must mean something. I dont learn if i leave stuff like that off and thats what this channel is about not just showing the nice things that go right but the real day to day stuff. People on here teach me things so im happy. Awra best mate Justin 👍
I feel your pain Justin had the same issue in the summer with 3 spare 2 off em same issue had 1 left so I cut the cover down and put a full one on top over it with the knowledge I was able to grabo it out with it sticking to the bed. Not the best way but I’ll always be available to lift it if needed. Good video liked the texture of the tile too 👍🏴
Yea porcelain is a nightmare sometimes Scott makes me bloody anxious im crapping myself sometimes trying to cut it and it takes so much time re marking and cutting. That is why we have to charge more to install the stuff mate . Thanks mate appreciate it 👍
Feel the pain justin nothing worse than continuing breaking of the tiles , nearly told a customer once that the manhole was redundant, to pave over it , then the guilt kicked in and done the right thing 😀, customer's don't realise time , materials , blades go in to this , my prices from next year will start from £140m2 based on £ 30 m2 porcelain, all the best cracking job as always 👍
Hi Darren Yea the client supplied the porcelain. Think it was just an awkward cut but yea people dont realise do they mate we had a nightmare doing it done now though. Justin 👍
Get the Dewalt cordless on it buddy water suppression on it. Pulvex blades way forward buddy. For Ruby saw and the gas saw. Have 1 still yet to use on the Dewalt Flowpoint do love it but continues to leave white marks on edges here and there. Next using marshalls see how that goes.
Yea i did tell brad to use the dewalt but we didn't to be honest lee the water would of cooled the blade and stopped some vibration. Think i will get some pulvex blades where do i get them from mate ? Porcelain can be a bloody nightmare as we all no. Thanks for the tip mate Justin 👍
Looks smart! I've done a few cuts like that, never used polish stuff tho but on the times I have had to do it (after many fails) was cut a smaller square in the centre or the finished square a fair bit smaller and then cut diagonally to the corners, flipped it over to get the cut as close to the corners as possible, then flip back over to cut the straights, also I did score the lines about 2-3mm before doing anything. also I find a bit of 100mm celotex to cut on helps a bit. I also considered using a diamond hole saw 20-30mm or something on the corners to stop it fracturing but the other method worked so didn't have to go out to get a hole saw, not tried tho, one I did which was pretty much exactly like your situation which was 40mm close to the edge I suggested to the customer to take 40mm off the first one going down so the one that needed cutting finished on the end of the cover which made it an open ended cut, didn't really notice either.
Steve it took so much of our time in the end we had to change it up .Thats the nature of porcelain though can be a bugger. Hope you and family are well. Justin 👍
Good solution wrt the manhole. Even if you had successfully cut out the inner rectangle, I'd be willing to bet the weakness introduced would've resulted in the tile cracking the next time there was a frost/thaw cycle.
Feel brads pain when he has sitting there that’s a through the head up one 😂 the solution always seems to come in a flash in the night that wake you up lol. I think it actually looks better with the bigger manhole turned out a really nice job Justin I bet before yous starting thinking be a handy one compared to the bigger jobs they always catch me out I find. Keep up the good lads all the best.
Hya sean Frustrating mate isnt it hes a good lad just wants to get it right 👍 yea the smaller jobs sometimes bite you the client changed things aswell but that was ok. Good luck mate thanks Justin 👍
Have you tried the Rubi ecd 115mm blade. There expensive and wear down quick but they just cut with so little vibration maybe half of that proper cutting blade you were using. Great job as always 👍
Cracking job Justin and awesome cutting Brad. That porcelain is put here to try us you done great coming up with the bigger man hole solution. How are you meant to deal with that wastage though Justin ? I had a nightmare with them last year and 4 broke on me can ruin your mood big time and put you off using them. Great video very honest !
Hya john Totally agree with that Totally deflated us but we got there in the end. The client bought the porcelain we gave it 3 goes and stopped he asked us to try two more so we did was the customers choice. I come up with the a solution which he was happy with. Porcelain is nice until you cut it as we all no mate 🤣👍 Enjoy the weekend appreciate all your comments john cheers. Justin 👍
I dont use it anymore mate, for all the reasons you gave, i feel your pain. Personally i rekon its a bit of a fad and isnt really suitable for the north of the uk where i am. Nice end result.
Yea its a difficult product to cut sometimes frustrating aswell. This is why to install it it has to cost more than other paving products .Thanks Michael and good luck next year mate 👍
Hi Lads Not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but I was always told to cut fragile things like that on the sand pile so you have a really deep bed under it to absorb the vibrations as much as possible. Saying that though the cut you were trying there is next to impossible given the material. Can't be throwing money away like that at £30 a slab! End job looked beautiful BTW. 👍
Ok jim hope your well mate . Totally right what you say agree with all of it .i think these manufacturers or the suppliers should be aiding us with tutorials or even a course to be able to cut porcelain. When you are a paving installer we have cut so many different materials over the years and its been fine .This porcelain is a totally different product due to it being so hard and brittle. Youd think they'd have at least a video or a leaflet or something to help us .They just want to sell it and wash there hands and thats massive failure in my book . Good luck jim thanks for the comments Justin 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping I completely agree, I've just bought 110 Square meters of porcelain from Cardiff slate and stone, not a single mention of how they would cut or how to cut, I've got the exact same problem as you with the manhole, my issue is cutting out a smaller square for a rodding point, we're about 6 damaged slabs into it now, cardiff slate didn't wanna know. Had our money, didn't care.
I haven't tried myself but if you get a small say 10-20mm diamond core drill bit for porcelain and drill a hole in all 4 corners, almost like using a jigsaw on a sheet off wood. Then cut the straight lines with the grinder. The holes cut would relieve the tension and should it try to crack it will get as far as the hole and that's it. might work
Hi Justin Don't you just hate all this polish porcelain taking all our spanish porcelain jobs mate lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍? Brad eh with a world record challenge well mate brickright one lol 😆 lovelly job mate 👏 great cuts mate 👍 as we all know a few slabs are thrown away before you get it right ( vibration does it ) so im told !!!! Might be softer porcelain if it cuts easier ?I've got the cut right only to realise I've marked it wrong ahhhhhhhhhh 😡😡😡😡 Lovelly levels mate and great insight into your work pal 👍 keep safe mate 👍
🤣🤣🤣 we've all spent time doing a wrong cut John 🤣🤣.You no what we spent ages on it and failed so we had to change things up but all done now .I like porcelain but these intricate cuts are challenging at times gives me butterflies mate honest 🤣🤣 worries me to death .Thank dink noise or no its broken is terrible 🤣🤣🤣 .its done client is happy which is what its all about so 👍💯.

Great job guys that would of well done me head in got to make a better tool to cut it may be ring the place you make them for information how to cut pain in ass i know people now wont even work with it any more
Hi Danny Ive spoken to all the suppliers and they aint got a clue mate .All there interested in is the sale once thats done its your problem. Its bad i think if your willing to sell a product you should at least understand that product so any questions from customers you can answer them. Its not like they dont go away find out and come back to you .They dont care mate. Good point that Justin 👍
I have been there many times lads, absolutely draining and kills the mood are the site, there’s always a solution but sometimes it takes us a while to over come 👍👌
I’ve just started doing mine and will have a cut like this🙈 could you of drilled the corners to stop it fracturing? I’ve never tried. Cheers and great videos
can someone point me in the right direction of what blade to use? I'm using a cut off saw with water attachment but getting terrible chipping! or is some chipping acceptable? Many thanks if someone can help
Nice job. Looks like you have way too large lid for that hole. What i would do with porcelain,in this case is to decrease the size of the manhole lid and/or ofset it to the side of the tile and then just cut one side of the tile. It works for me and dosent ad any expenses to project. When its necesary it's still possible to access it/ clean it etc. In 90% of the cases there is no necesity to inspect it anyways.... Another trick is to put it on the cememt and leave it for a night and then cut it out. Cement will ad rigidity to the tile...
Hi pal whit a bastard, feel sorry for Brad, makes us wonder how matty makes it look so effortless on his vids, the new manhole doesn't look to bad take it you will use the first on another job?. Only a suggestion but where porcelain meets the grass I would fire down some tegular blocks as a rumble strip for when the customer cuts the grass next year , I can imagine if soil /grass drops he will chip away the edge off the porcelain , awra best boys🏴🏴👍

Jumping over to say hello, my little house build is putt off for a few months, covid finacee grr. Moved into a mobile on-site, no more rent but a to do list that a house build would be proud of, hope you're all keeping well.
I would have cut out more of inside of recess cover and then I would side it back to remove the narrow side of the cut so only cutting three sides instead of four also why do you do no digging Justin are you not fit for it you should lead by example it's good for moral 👍
Hi Coyle Not a bad shout that mate was just trying to get it where it should be central but i get what your saying good idea to be honest.
