Frequently Asked Questions

Fleximont is a full-size lamellar diamond grinding wheel for dedicated grinding machines or larger angle grinders. MINIFLEXIMONT is a compact flap disc version designed for standard 4.5-inch angle grinders. Both use diamond-embedded segments for effective material removal on porcelain and ceramic, but MINIFLEXIMONT offers more portability and convenience for quick finishing tasks on site.

The Squadro diamond blade is specifically designed for this application. Mount it on an angle grinder and use the plunge-cutting technique to start inside the marked area. Cut along each side of the rectangle, slightly past corners to ensure clean intersections. The small blade diameter allows tight maneuvering for precise openings that fit electrical boxes and fixtures.

Start with coarser grits (50-100) to remove saw marks and shape the profile. Progress through medium grits (200-400) to refine the surface, then fine grits (800-1500) to develop gloss. For mirror finishes, continue to 3000 grit or higher. Each step removes scratches from the previous grit - skipping grits leaves visible marks in the final finish.

Standard manual and electric tile cutters handle materials up to roughly 25-50mm thick, depending on the model. Block cutters become necessary for thicker materials like stone thresholds, window sills, pavers, and masonry units that exceed these limits. The heavier construction and larger blade capacity accommodate materials that would overwhelm standard tile tools.

Working at the wrong height forces awkward postures that fatigue muscles and reduce concentration over a full workday. Purpose-built workstations position tiles at optimal cutting height, reducing back strain and allowing more precise control. Many installers report faster work and less end-of-day exhaustion after switching from improvised setups to proper workstations.

Tile carts use padded supports that cradle materials without pressure points that cause cracks. Wheels distribute weight evenly and allow controlled movement without the jolts and impacts of hand carrying. For heavy large format tiles, carts eliminate the twisting forces that occur during manual transport and frequently cause corner chips or full breaks.

Fleximont wheels are designed for dry use on angle grinders and dedicated grinding machines. The lamellar diamond segments work best at the higher speeds these tools provide. For wet applications on tile saws, use appropriate diamond grinding cups or polishing pads designed for wet use. Mixing wet and dry tool applications typically produces poor results.

The Toprofile is Montolit's professional beveling machine designed specifically for ceramics and porcelain tiles and slabs. It creates consistent chamfered edges across multiple pieces, essential for projects requiring uniform beveled profiles. The key advantage is on-site capability - you can produce beveled edges without transporting materials to marble and granite manufacturers, saving time and logistics costs.

Mastertech diamond hand pads are professional-grade polishing tools ideal for smoothing and finishing corners and edges of ceramic, glass, and porcelain tiles. Montolit introduced these approximately 15 years ago and now offers 7 different grit levels from 60 to 3,000. Higher grit numbers indicate finer diamonds for smoother finishes. Use them for touching up cut edges, finishing visible corners, and restoring polish on glazed tile edges.

Beyond Cutting: The Complete Installation Process

Every tile installation involves more than making cuts. Edges need refinement before grouting. Openings must be created for fixtures and outlets. Materials need moving from delivery point to cutting station to installation area. Work surfaces need positioning that allows accurate cutting without physical strain. Montolit recognizes these requirements and produces tools that address each step with the same quality that defines their cutting equipment.

Diamond Grinding for Precision Edge Work

Factory tile edges often show minor chips or sharpness that affect both appearance and safety. The Fleximont lamellar wheel uses diamond-embedded segments arranged in overlapping layers that remove material progressively without gouging. This controlled action creates smooth edges and allows shaping operations like bullnose profiles. The wheel mounts on standard angle grinders, bringing professional edge finishing capability to any job site.

Quick Finishing with MINIFLEXIMONT

When full edge profiling is not required but cut edges need deburring or light smoothing, MINIFLEXIMONT flap discs provide a fast solution. These compact discs attach to standard angle grinders and use the same diamond technology as larger Fleximont wheels. A few passes removes sharp edges and minor chips, preparing tiles for grouting without the setup time of dedicated grinding equipment.

Creating Clean Openings and Notches

Outlets, switches, and fixtures require rectangular openings cut into tiles already planned for specific wall positions. The Squadro diamond blade handles these cuts with its plunge-cutting capability - starting the cut from the tile surface rather than from an edge. The compact blade diameter allows tight turns at corners, producing clean openings that fit fixture boxes precisely.

Natural Stone Edge Polishing

Cut edges on marble, granite, and other polished stones show dull saw marks that contrast with the field tile finish. Hand polishing pads progress through increasingly fine diamond grits, gradually restoring the polished appearance. Starting with coarse grits removes saw marks, while successively finer grits develop gloss matching the factory finish. This process requires patience but produces seamless edge-to-face transitions.

Heavy Materials Need Proper Handling

A stack of large format porcelain tiles weighs far more than casual handling suggests. Attempting to move these stacks by hand risks dropping tiles, injuring workers, and damaging installation surfaces. Purpose-built transport carts distribute weight properly and allow controlled movement. The investment in handling equipment pays back through reduced breakage and avoided injury claims.

Workstation Ergonomics for Daily Productivity

Professional tile installers make hundreds of cuts per day over years of work. Body position during cutting affects both immediate accuracy and long-term physical health. Montolit workstations position tile cutters at proper height, eliminating the bending and reaching that causes back strain. Many installers discover that proper ergonomics not only reduces fatigue but actually improves cut quality through better visual alignment and steadier hand control.

Toprofile: On-Site Beveling Revolution

Previously, creating beveled edges on ceramics and porcelain required transporting materials to stone fabrication facilities - adding logistics costs and project delays. The Toprofile beveling machine brings this capability directly to the job site. Designed specifically for tile materials, it produces consistent chamfered edges that meet architectural specifications without the complications of off-site processing. For projects requiring beveled profiles across multiple pieces, Toprofile delivers production efficiency that manual methods cannot match.

15 Years of Professional Polishing Innovation

Montolit introduced professional diamond hand polishing pads approximately 15 years ago, recognizing that installers needed better tools for edge finishing. Today the Mastertech range offers 7 different grit levels spanning from aggressive 60 grit for initial material removal through ultra-fine 3000 grit for mirror polishing. The progression through these grits follows the same principles used by stone fabricators - each finer grit removes scratches from the previous step, building toward the final polished appearance. Higher grit numbers indicate smaller embedded diamonds, producing smoother results on glazed corners and glass materials.
