Cutting 10mm 60x60 polished porcelain floor tiles

[sanorton]

I’m having problems cutting some 10mm 60x60 polished porcelain floor tiles.

I cant get a nice smooth edge. It splinters the surface on the edge when I cut them.

I’ve been and bought a new saw blade and its made no difference.

Any advice??

What blade are you using ?

 

[david campbell]

why not dry cut them?

sigma tile cutter i use but score the top of the tile first just a little bit then score it down and it wont happen to you

Are you wet cutting or dry cutting with this new blade for you saw..?

You'll need a bridge cutter to give a clean edge. Marcrist blades are very good and I've had mine for well over a year in my Rubi cutter. Link to blades at Tradetiler Tradetiler Tilers Diamond wheels by Make

sigma cutter will do the job no probs.

If your cutting polished porcelain wet a cpc2 rubi blade is the way forward because it is slightly thinner than any other blade so more presice but why not cut dry a tx700n will cut slithers 18mm wide with a good edge, more than good enough
