My brand new Montolit 63 P2 is a bit of a lottery for me and I need to know if I'm getting it wrong or it's a problem with the cutter.
Today was the first time I've used it on porcelain (Baldocer Caliza Grade 2) and it has beena chore. The cut line has either been wobbly and the edge needed shaving off with my wet cutter, the edge has burst near the breaker (5-6mm deep and up to 30mm long) or there has been in inner or outer curve on the last 30mm of the cut looking like a mini ski jump:mad2:
I have tried lighter pressure on scoring, harder scoring, double scoring, lighter tapping when breaking, shart taps, slams you name it and it is still inconsistent. I've also adjusted the nut on the breaker all to no avail. My old TS60 PLus was way better with this stuff before it got old and tired. Neat regular cuts with rare breakouts.
I have watched the YouTube vid on TT a couple of times and I don't think I'm doing anything obvious. Tried this with thinner porcelain and it was the same.
This is costing me time and money and stress so I need some help. Any Monti users got any tips as to why I'm so bad with this piece of kit?
