Says it's ceramic. As for your cutter.....cheap blades from new so replace with one same size from ATS diamond tools.

Ok. Thanks for the advice Plan Tec
Any recommendation on a decent saw?

I've just bought a vitrex to replace my plas plug master tiler. Very good cutter for every day use on run of the mill tiles...

The ATS blades are too big for my cutter. My blade is about 5mm in diameter which is fixed to a rod which fits into the head of the cutter.

Is there anywhere I can get diamond tip blades like this? The cutter is a Rubi 40-N-Plus...

I had a feeling it was this one, buy yourself a cheap electric tile saw & try that.
If using this manual tile saw you have been pushing too hard, you have to let the blade do the work.
You will get a replacement out of Topps or ScrewFix will do one.
Your Rubi star should be cutting the tile you bought no problem, your either scribing the tile too heavy or not heavy enough.
Flick with the breaker to snap the tile don't use sustained pressure as it's not how you snap the tile.
Use off cuts to get used to the cutter.
