We are doing a job which involves the running of pipe to fan coil units. In doing so we will need to cut floor tiles which are used in rooms which house computer systems. The flooring is raised for cooling purposes.
The last time we cut these tiles we used a sawzaw. One person cutting and the other holding the tile, bracing it one side using both legs sort of like a clamp and also both hands. The cutter makes his cut straight down the line.
Ideally a table saw or table band saw should be used but, that will not be available tomorrow.
Any thoughts on how to do this in a safe manner or things to look out for while doing it that way?
I spent most of my time worrying about a bind and the tile hitting my knee or worse the sawzaw colliding with a hand or leg.
