Cutting 10mm 60x60 polished porcelain floor tiles

[Aston]

seriously here, the montolit 93p is awesome andrew!!!! that is a really really good cutter. joe hillhead has the sigma 3d and he raves about that too....ive heard alot of people complain about rubi tx900's and 1200's.

I will come to the aid of my mate Ed, I love Rubi. I don't want to start Rubi vs Sigma world war two, but I tried to cut a 600x 600 porcelain today, on my mate Ozboz's Sigma. First problem was I could'nt see my pencil mark, second problem when I tried to break the tile it broke everywhere except where I wanted it to. But each to their own

i know i know i know.....dont tell anybody on the forum but, i have just ordered a sigma 5

Ed, please tell me, have you also succumbed to the dark side, alas and alack I fear I am undone:yikes:

I have a rubi tx 900 and im using 12mm porcelain at the moment im using my wet cut as im losing to many tiles using the rubi.

you may have the wrong blade in the TX m8 have you got the gold one for porcelain?

dont worry phil, i am pulling there leg.....lol

like you said, each to there own. they are good but they aint for me, i know i wouldnt like the pulling action. and i dont like the obscured view of the line. thats why i got rid of my montolits'...great cutters but i prefer rubi for that reason.

rubi for me ;0) anyway, if there're good enough for phil hobson, deano, tj, pjc, doug, etc then there certainly good enough for me ;0)

I've done loads of jobs with 60 x 60 Eagle J polished porcelain and had absolutely no probs cutting with my Rubi Tr600s. I use the gold 18mm wheel - happy days!

Thank you Ed, you had me worried for a while there mate. I know all these cutters are top notch, and the banter is just a bit of fun

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....
