    Blade starts to walk off centre?

    The cutting of Porcelain tiles, 16mm, with a Vitrex bridge saw, has been very successful, holding cuts of 900mm to 0.4mm. BUT All the blades I have tried, ATS, Marcrist and Rubi, have all started to cut off centre. I have dressed the blade with a Rubi cleaning block and this will improve...
