Normal VS ACTUAL

Architects, Interior Designers, Tile manufacturers and builders, most of the time will refer to a tile as the nominal size.

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 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.
