Discuss Cutting 20mm Porcelian in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

Hi I have recently took on a big patio area floor job to be tiled in 20mm thick porcelian and was just wondering if anyone had any tips for cutting these monsters. I have a sigma 3p3m and rubi tx cutters that supposedly cut upto 20mm thick but don't they are going to cut these. Any help would be much appreciated

Tobins, Antonio is Italian and doesn't speak English, he uses google translate.
He means you need to score the tile several times before you attempt to break it, which the sigma should do with ease and if there are cuts that may be too small to break off he's telling you to use a grinder for those
