Tiling front of fireplace
I am working on some plans for tiling the front of a fireplace and want to use Schluter Edging system on the front of the hearth. In an effort to keep to my budget, I'm considering not using the 'corner' pieces by Schluter. (Each corner piece costs as much as one 8 foot edge piece.)
I'm wondering if i couldn't just make a couple of 45 deg angles and fit the schluter edging together like a picture frame. Anyone have any experience with this as to whether this would look good?

I assume you are talking about an outside corner like that of a picture frame and not an outside corner like you would be going around from one wall to another wall. If like picture frame, yes, it will look fine. I cut mine on a wet say with diamond blade for a smooth cut. Go slowly on your pass and you will be a nice mitered corner.

Just to be clear, I'm talking a bout cutting the Schluter Edging. I was planning on using a hacksaw, and don't understand the need for a wetsaw. (Schluter edging is metal.)
