Cutting Really Hard Porcelain Tiles.

[Simon benn Leeds]

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. 😡

Scribe both sides, then grind/ or wet cut inside the scribe lines and rub down with your carborundum stone ( do people still use these? I do ) worth a try.

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.

Cheers for that Simon, I'll certainly try and have a go of both machines first then!
I know where I can try both the sigma and Rubi.
The Kauffman maybe a different story tho!
Unless anyone in my area has one I can try? 😉

That would be great Simon.
Would a 1.2 m x 200 mm textured grade 5 porc be okay?
Sorry if the post looks strangely written I'm using the dictation on my phone

how to wet cut with less chipping but takes time....first score a line then cut off the line with wet cutter then make another pass or two until you reach scored line,failing this use permanent marker pen and colour in chips.

Hahaha that's been a point of discussion before! Haha
It actually shocked me how many of us do it! Haha
