big clinker probs? do you not need NHS patient line?:lol:

This sounds daft, but have you checked that the scoring wheel is acutally passing the end of the tile not stopping just short of it because you have the scoring wheel set too low, i use a husky and find that the scoring wheel can slip upwards after repeated use, and needs to be adjusted. :mad2:

Noticed that too

Get the genesis 600mm clinker breaker, a good bit of kit IMO

Have noticed the same with mine, but only when cutting a certain batch of tiles. they were 200x300 and would cut perfectly if portrait, but as soon as I turned them landscape and cut, a nice little extra wedge would cut out too. It drove me mad and used a whole box of tiles over a whole bathroom. Trade Depot were the suppliers so tiles were probably crap! Otherwise, check the height setting and make sure there is nothing under the tile (shards or other rubbish)

had a similar problem with my tx700n,as chris says, it turned out to be a little tile shard that had got wedged by stop end

I have just invested in a Clinker and I find it better than my sigma or my mates rubi for cutting 600 x 300 9mm porcelain tiles. I find the squeeze down and wrist slap method the best. You do have to keep the bed clean but I have found it a joy, and cheap. Cowgomoo

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Clinker.
I am just getting ready for a new one now. Had mine 18 months and it's been great.

I just bought a Montolit Minipiuma though for mosaics and small stuff but my Clinker is my everyday workhorse.

How have you found the minipuma mate

 

[Grace'sDad]

A bit awkward tbh but it's early days yet.
The only mosaics I have used were absolute pish and had a slippy net backing.

I tried some 300x300x9 ceramics on it but couldn't get as clean a break line as I could on the clinker.

It's great for small tiles though.

Once I have had a bit more time with it, I'll post a review.
