I have bosch with vacuum cleaner, but it is a problem to cut 180cm.
here on TF some tiler bought festool. (can not remember name)
try to feel. @3_fall (perhaps he remembered)
I use, Raimondi cut free, but if tile is not good .... (problems)

That was me Antonio. I've just updated the thread about the Festool cutter.
 
Hi all

I'm just about to start a floor tiling job with some wooden plank effect porcelain tiles at a whopping 1.8m long and 200mm wide and as its over several (5)rooms ( around 70m2 total) I'm going to have to cut into doorways and slithers along the entire length of these tiles.
Although I've been tiling now for nearly 10 years I've never fixed tiles of this size before (I think the biggest porcelain I've done is probably 0.9m long) there is no way these tiles will cut on my big dewalt table saw or on any of my big Rubi dry cutters! So my only thoughts are to use an angle grinder with a monolit Evo2 porcelain blade for all these cuts! Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with these sorts of porcelain tiles regarding cutting or if there are any better options than an angle grinder to cut these?
Thanks in advance
Matt
Sigma do a 2.8 m cutter it cuts anything only problem I found was I had to order and wait 3 weeks and it’s a two man job picking it up . But would do 15-20 rip on 2.5m tile no problem
