Cutting 10mm 60x60 polished porcelain floor tiles

[sanorton]

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

I'm wet cutting

 

[sanorton]

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

Thanks. Sounds like I might need a different cutter then....

I assume I could hire a tx700n from somewhere??

I'm a DIYer, so dont need to invest in buying one!!

Are they easy to use??

I use a Kaufmann topline 1200mm cutter, dry cutter does the job on any size porcelain tile it will take of 35/40mm slivers 1200mm long. You get what you pay for....

Sorry to jump in guys but when fitting porcelain tiles 60x30 to plasterboard is it essential to fit a hardie backer board first? I am on the floor but walls? I will seal the grout after so is it a waste of my cash? Thanks,

Your plasterboard shoud be fine, what area are you tiling, shower etc

 

[Gustyturbine]

Yes, shower to ceiling and walls 1/2 way up so 1.2mtrs up wall. I will seal the grout so I was not sure if I would be throwing cash away using a backer board. chipboard floor so Hardie backer boards going down. Thanks,
Gusty.

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??

Try turning the tile upside down to make your cut
