Mitre accessories

Mitre accessories are tools for precisely chamfering tiles at a 45-degree angle. On outside corners in showers, window sills and kitchen walls, mitre work is used so that two tiles meet seamlessly without a visible tile edge. Achieving a crisp result requires not just a good mitre disc but also the right guiding and measuring equipment.

Guide systems for a consistent angle

A mitre guide holds the angle grinder at a fixed angle relative to the tile, producing an even bevel along the entire length. Without a guide it is virtually impossible to maintain a consistent 45-degree angle, especially on longer tiles. Good guide systems are adjustable in angle and height and fitted with rubber clamps that protect the tile surface.

Measuring tools and aids

Besides the guide you need an angle gauge to verify that the bevel is exactly 45 degrees. A bevel that is off by a couple of degrees produces a joint that will not close. Other useful accessories include clamps to hold the tile steady during chamfering and finishing blocks for sanding the sharp mitre point. Practice the mitre process on an offcut before starting the actual tile — mitre work is a technique that benefits from experience, and a few practice pieces save expensive mistakes.

Crisp mitre work as your calling card

Practice the mitre process on an offcut tile before starting the actual work. Mitre technique improves with repetition, and a few practice pieces prevent expensive mistakes on the real tile installation.
