I have just bought a Norton Clipper tt200 em (and I have paid for it so it is too late to say I shouldn't). My query is, are the blades that come with it OK to cut porcelain floor tiles or should a buy a different blade and which blade should I buy?

rubi dry cutters always have.kinzo wet cutter dirt cheap and has got me through thousands of meters of natural on same blade!and a cheap plasplugs for kitchens

only one way to find out mikeatic, if blade is no good a rubi cpc/2 will be a good investment if it fits your norton:dizzy2:

Don't do a lot of tiling now as I've moved away from plumbing and bathrooms into the heating side of things but a few years back I had to tile a complete bathroom with glass tiles. The tiles were glass with a painted back. They were a nightmare to cut and I had to invest in a makita cordless glass and tile cutter.

TradeTiler.Ltd Makita Cordless cutter

Subsequently I found it was also excellent for most normal tiling jobs as well as the glass ones. It will cut slivers down to a few mm.

I am getting one of those too. Bit bigger than my Briccolina and anything larger that it can't handle will have to go through my Rubi DW250n. Will let you peeps know what I think after I have used it a few times.

the cheaper blades in the wet saw need changed more often, i put a new £11 7" blade 7 or 8 months ago still going strong eats through them all so far

iv'e tryed the small vitrex board cutters but the guide has broke twice and its yunks getting a replacement
I tried the 50 n star plus sounds good,crap i would give it away but who would take it
The ts30 is a good we machine i have only had a few weeks no probs so far, though when i have the sigma 75cm set up on a black n decker work mate cuts them all

you got to be kidding doug !! im working on a job just now , 900x 300 ceramics and 660x200 porcs, im using 3 cutters a sigma , monty 75 and the tx1200 , best cutter is the monty with the sigma a close second , but i find the rubi easily the worst, producing raggy cuts ( new machine and blade) fiddly breaking system drives me nuts and it flexes way to much when trying to break further down the cutter and dont get me started on the bliddy weight .. hope you are faring better than me.. :rant:

why the monty over the sigma whats the difference

why the monty over the sigma whats the difference

the sigma is very good cutter but the monty just feels better and cuts a bit cleaner at times , but my siggy is 10 yrs old and is a pull while the monty is a push so that could be a factor..
