job today,

[Stef]

ts60 mate, I don't know what I was doing wrong but the tiles were just break in whichever way they wanted so had to do all the cuts before putting anything on the walls. gutted feel like a rite prat

Ash some porcs you will struggle with with that cutter m8, you have to try & just give it a hard enough flick & it should cut, don't just pull & put sustained pressure on it, use your off cuts & get a bit of practice with it.
what wheel did you use? Try stepping down to the 6mm instead of the bigger wheels. try putting a bit of card under the breaker foot.
If its a large enough cut then tap them on the back with your snips & should break through.

If you have say 200mm coming off that tile then score it once take it out the cutter hold it on your knee & tap along the back of the tile with the head of your snips, it should break along the score line (not always) but its an option when cutting porcs.
It won't work with ceramics..
I don't think for a minute your trying to slag me off Ash,
That cutter served me well for years but as I have stated before they do struggle with some porcelain tiles but I used that over my ex partners TS 60+.

 

[Mr Tiler]

ok mate well I came up short on the shower enclosure tiles but, I have trimmed those off now will be doing thw rest of the walls in a beige tmoz and they are expecting all the walls done tmoz I don't know how that's gonna happen lol

 

[Gazzer]

You really need a moveable breaker on the cutting machine with porcelains IMO.

that was all that kept going through my head today.

 

[Dougs Third Go]

I always struggled with a ts60 on the porcs, since I got a tx700 about 15 years ago there's only been one porc (v&b "fire and ice") that I've struggled to cut.

 

[Mr Tiler]

well I have 4 Carlsberg gonna relax as my head is killing. hopefully tmoz will go smoother for me any suggestions on a good drill bit to go through thes glazed porc? took me about an hour 2 get 2 holes so I could fix a baton

Ash just get in there & do your best.
If the tile shop have half a clue then they will know you will struggle with a Rubi TS on higher grade porcs.
Don't doubt yourself, remember what you have learned here & use that on the job, don't panic.
We all doubt ourselves now & again, doesn't matter how good we are (god, here we go again)
You can do this!!!!

 

[Mr Tiler]

lol as long as the tiling is ok then im hoping it will delude them from how slow I am lol, I think it is because I also havnt tiled for a bit. im also absolutely shatterd havnt done a days work for ages lol I have a few jobs booked now though so no stopping me now.

 

[rich83]

Thats where batton stands come into there own...dodgy walls can be a bugger to fix with screws.

how will it hold the batton up mate? thanks

no batten. Cut in your first row, place level on top using some adhesive then wedge your tiles up until the are touching the batten
