Re: [ATM] 12 x 12 tile tools?
The 1 x 1 Tiles are used so that the tool can start out with some curvature
to it.
Remember you want the tool to have the same curve as the blank.
If you start with both flat you will need to grind away more tile at the
edges
to get to the same curve. (You may then grind through the edges)
