Cutting Really Hard Porcelain Tiles.

[Mr Tiler]

Thanks chaps, will give both methods a try and report back next week.

Still not sure how I'm going to cut the L shaped ones though without chipping the edges. 😡

Wet cutter bud grinders great for most but some are brittle as hell thats where wet cuts come in

 

[On one]

L shaped cuts........try scoring and then cut on your wet cutter just a tiny fraction back off your scored line and you might just get away with it.

That was done with a Montolit glass blade Ash, on a wet cutter mate.😀

Ahh thats why the finnish was so nice, as i just explained haha i think the motolit might be the htc of the tile cutting world in that case, "quietly brilliant" lol

Try a Rubi J slot blade in your grinder

ok you are dealing with a high bake tile using cheap matirails total stress on the tile first you have to take out the stress the best way to do this is to core a 30 mm hole on the courner were your courner meets then scribe back to your core on the out side hole now grind out the shortest line on the inside of your scribe and then snap the long edge then grind out the remaining courner the times have been hard and a lot of tile manafators have cut cost this if the price we are now paying

Haven't used a Sigma Andy so I didn't like the post! Haha
However!! I am actually considering a large format one....
So watch this space! Haha 😉

Try and get your hands on a Kaufmann before you buy a sigma Marc, I tried the sigma the other day then tried the Kaufmann again, Kaufmann is incredible. But each to their own.
