cuttingporcelaintile
I really like this tile my wife found, but I'm concerned about installation. I've tiled a good amount, but always rectangular tiles. How would one cut an odd shaped tile like this? Would I need to trace the tile on wood and cut it out to make a sort of jig that I could then use to run along the fence? That's the only thing I can think of. Any advice would be welcome. It would be for a bathroom floor, if that matters at all.
In my experience it's usually not noticed.
You'll be grouting as well and unless you're very precise with the grout there'll be some variation with grout depth and width which will "even out" the effect.
That looks like nearly 3/4 inch in a 2 foot run. That is a lot of angle, and I think most carpenters would consider it unacceptable on a new framing job (unless there were some underlying issue, like a pipe or an old beam preventing a square outcome).
But it also sounds like your contractor is challenged when it comes to getting something square. You can try again, but you may still be disappointed.
An alternative is to use a brick pattern on the floor.
The lack of a straight line on the left would make the angle cuts less noticeable.

You can cut tile without power tools.
