Cutting raised profiled tiles.

[toast]

I am after some advise regarding the cutting of a raised pattern/profile tile. The tile has wave decorations and is a large format 600mmX300mm. I have tried cutting across the tile using a rail cutter but the cut are not snapping straight and the blade often damages the glaze. Would it be best suggested that a wet cutter is used to make these cuts?
I have genisis rail cutter, that manages most other tiles.

I cut mine on my Sigma with no probs but if you are having little success , then I would advise to wet cut them

Perhaps you just need a nice new scribing wheel?

I used similar ones from porcelanosa. managed with hand cutter. But they were ceramics.

yes, scribed ok on my TX1200, small wheel and slowly scribe it, getting in and out of contours.. try a new 8mm wheel ?

Is it porcelain or clay n glaze. If it the latter , scribe anf snap on the back of the tile.
