Please help with Rubi Bridge Saw DW200N

[Concrete guy]

ATS thanks for the input, sounds like a new blade will help over come the big run out issue but that I might still get some runout, although if it was cutting pressure related on the spindle I would have expected the blade to deflect left rather than right. However reallity often isn't always like that.
Just took the old blade out and sure enough it's marked up as a Rubi general purpose.... silly me I should have checked before I started.


I have no idea how long a blade is expected to last in hard porcelain. I'm guessing i've got about 70 cuts to make at the full 600 mm tile length and then corner cutting etc at 300mm width that's about another 100 off. I'm wondering if I should go for 2 blades ??? hopefully you won't suggest more but if it's recommended then I'll go for it.
Thanks again , Martin.

Running out right against the pressure is odd. That's a little counter intuitive. Is there any carriage adjustment on these newer models?

These blades are pretty long lasting on water fed cutters, one should be fine.

Tell me about it, I checked all sorts trying to figure it out. Carriage alignment, carriage twist, free play, leveled up fully and nothing I could find to be out enough through it off to the extent it was drifting.

Anyway, just placed order on your website so will look forward to receiving blade. Many thanks for your input and I will be sure to let you know how I get on.

Best Regards

Martin.

Sorry to ask the obvious but wouldn't it be quicker to use a dry rail cutter?

He probably doesn't have a Sigma though ;-)

Hi Rookery, no problem asking and I had considered a dry rail cutter, but had also read that some of these struggle with the porcelain tiles. At around the same time I came across a thread where a member had a rail cutter for sale, and thought OK it's a bit of an expensive investment, not as quick as dry cutting, but thought well I might be able to sell it on after my own, and my step daughters bathroom projects are finished, so decided to take that step. Cutting time is not so much of an issue as it's just my own work and not a paying client.

Two hours into trying to figure out the problem I was having and I was thinking...why didn't I just go for normal score and snap !!!

Will post how I get on when the new blade arrives. If it still causing problems then I guess I'll be getting into the Rubi/Sigma which is best debates :8:

Update for you.
PCR blade arrived today from ATS. Mounted up and confirmed machine was level and I can say the difference is remarkable. Could immediately feel the blade was cutting much better and can confirm that no run off at all. Much relieved, especially after reading those threads were people never managed to sort there run out issues.

Thanks to all those the pointed straight to the blade being the most likely cause and recommending ATS, and thanks to ATS for prompt order handling and despatch, and not forgetting the very reasonable price as well.

Now off to spend a few hours tiling and cutting.

Regards
Martin.
