Now we can handle and transport the pieces &#8220;Slim&#8221; safely. The suction pads will make sure that the cut will be perfectly straight. With the scratch, you can start from either end, always putting more emphasis on both of the ends.<br \/>\nOnce the scratch has been made, you will move the piece, cantilever, and press lightly with tongs until you see the piece open. It is then necessary to try to separate the entire piece, only opening slightly. Repeat this step on both ends and then using lateral pressure, completely remove the entire piece.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/paso-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1161\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/paso-1.jpg\" alt=\"step 1 slym system\" width=\"163\" height=\"101\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/paso-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/paso-2.jpg\" alt=\"step 2 slym system\" width=\"163\" height=\"111\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/paso-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1163\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/paso-3.jpg\" alt=\"step 3 slym system\" width=\"161\" height=\"96\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent months have proliferated under thick ceramic and large format.
