What’s the best way/ blade for cutting 20mm porcelain been cutting with a 4 inch grinder it’s taking a long time with the rubi blade and getting really hot got a few hundred cuts to do
 
in my opinion the fastest cut remains the dry grinder.
so buy a good blade and go on.
just my opinion as an apprentice.
 
I've just done 100's of Mt's of 20mm x1200x600.
20mm Porcelain comes in different hardness and the ones I have been doing were prity hard.
I started cutting them with a Rubi TC180 wet with a ats blade designed for 20mm Porcelain wet cutting, worked very well. Then tried an old Rubi blade dry and it cut just as well. With both methods I cut through both ends dry with a 125mm angle grinder to stop the tile splitting of.
Doing round edges and bull nosing was a monsterous job and took days
 
I was about to ask the same question. Ive got a patio to do soon. Will they score and snap on a Sigma? I was going to try giving them a heavy score then bashing them with a mallet...

These tiles are really hard tried breaking them on my montolit it wouldn’t touch them so just ordered a 9 inch rubi tvx blade should cut through them nicely

Sigma and montolit wouldn’t break these tiles just ordered a bigger dry cutting blade for 9 inch grinder
