One more picture. I centered the pattern which means cutting tiles on both sides but in the end it is worth it. Just do not get a brain freeze and rotate the tile 90 degress like I did four or five of them before cutting. I just used a power miter saw and fine blade. A hole saw for the round...

I put mine in a couple months ago but finally got a nice car to put on it. I have the Race Deck Tuffshield and it is easy to keep clean. I also like that I can snap out the 20 blue tiles and for $70 get a different look. The two round posts that happen to fall in the corner of four floor pieces...

I have not had mine down long enough to tell you long term. However if a tile or two gets really scratched you can always pop put and replace it. Easier to wipe clean with a smoother surface too. With the CJ discount it also was not that much more than buying the regular one elsewhere. I also...

I would use whatever you think you would use for other things down the road. The Dremmel would be tougher for me for long straight cuts and I do have one. If a jig saw get a cheap $10 guide for straight cuts. A circular saw would be faster for straight cuts but for any corner cuts you want...

I have my order placed too. I bought a 140 tooth blade for my radial arm saw. I also bought the weed block to deaden the sound which may or may not be an issue but for $40 why not I figured.

I used this last summer on a 16x12 foot 13 year old deck. Uprights are painted in a solid color matching stain. The floor a matching color. I used 6-7 gallons. It goes on slow and takes some work to cover the between board gaps. You do need a second coat and then you have the option of leaving...

I answered my own question with help from RaceDeck1. The options are a few. Paint the strip the color of your edge tile. Install a cove base. My walls for the most part are exterior so the concrete offset is 2-3 inches so the top either way is painted in this case. If your walls are interior you...

I would think any jig saw will work. I think I have an old Black and Decker, The base has a slot in it and you can buy an adjustable guide that slips into it that you can adjust for with. You can also get a blade set for a few bucks and try different types on a scrap or sample tile. Fewer bigger...

The only think I would warn is how and round blade cuts corners. You will need to undercut it and finish it with a straight blade. If you have the bottom side towards the blade you should be OK but still will need to finish the cut with something else. Hope this make sense. Like edging a...

I have that saw myself and give it a try. I did not want to buy another 12" blade but may. I bought the Dewalt for installing some "Pergo" type flooring and it was perfect but it does dull the blades fast.

I do have some samples that I though would be good to try cutting first.

That may be the best option, I too am getting Race Deck but leaning towrd Tuff Shield nano finished. I am doing the pattern on their web site with the Carrera.

I am not talking about the tiles themselves. I just need an idea for the edge where the concrete foundation sticks out about 2 inches and is rough finished. Where the header plate resides. My wife hates it. Something there that would finish it off and hide the tile edge expansion gap which I...

Thanks for the information. I have a Dremel for any fine cuts as well as a jig saw for the two round posts protecting the furnace. I will get a 90-120 count tooth blade for the table saw unless I see a guillotine cutter for rent. I plan on getting Race Deck. I need to ask for my discount now...

Hello new member here Getting close to buying some tile for the garage. For cutting I will use my table or compound miter saw. What teeth count will get me a good cut. 60, 90, 140, 200? Do you cut finish side up or down? My width is 4 inches short of a full tile so I figure to cut both side...
