90 x 90 cm
36 in x 36 in
It is important to measure the actual tile, ideally with verniers. If you want to match different tiles from different manufactures, the smallest difference in the width of a tile can cause a compounding error that is visible when installed.
The Kerf of the Waterjet head is between 0.030 in and 0.050 in (0.76 mm and 1.27 mm). uMake.ca – Online Factory is able to increase the width of the kerf to 1.3-1.6 mm which is close to the grout thickness of 1/16.
