Cutting porcelain tiles

[DHTiling]

rubi tile cutters are crap . sigma would do the job .
i all ways use angle grinder. you could score the tiles with the ruby then break on floor . just put two spaces on each end of the scored tile then put weight onit it should break

You obviously have'nt used the rubi tx range then to say a comment like that......we all have our favourites but to come out with such a remark with out knowing the full range of cutters is well off the mark.........do some research and see....opinions don't make good cutters............

all cutters are not the same best thing to do is score the tile then get the tile and hit the back of the tile on the machine top end where the rails finish were the score line is very quick you will get the hang of it

if they dont split with the manual cutter i just use my wet cutter on the full job, time consuming yes but if the customer is paying a lot of money for the tiles then the amount of waste becomes a major factor, i just put an extra £20/£40 on the job to cover the price of 1 or 2 blades whicn in theory is maybe only the cost of 3,4 tiles. doesnt bother me if it takes longer as theres no price on perfection.

when cutting porcelain, i tend to back score the tile about an inch from the end of the tile, then score once sometimes twice before snapping on some porcelain.

i use a ts60 and a tx700 and theres not much between them except the tx700 is better suited to set up for multiply diagonal cuts..i find when using the tx700 on porc, if you hold the breaking handle down with your left thumb over the rails, then firmly tap the handle with your right hand, then the tile breaks nicely...score well and firm sharp snap is the key imo.....tiles are unpredictable and can break now matter how you approach them!

i only ever use a snap cutter on unseen cuts, any cuts that are seen i wet cut, always.
