How you boys work with this stuff day in day out , what's the best blade to avoid chipping please, why is it such a ***** to cut never snaps clean or straight a light score then snap over the knee works best , and the weight on the wall is ridiculous. Cheers kop

We get by by spend hundreds of pounds on good cutters like sigma, monti or rubi, but even then they won’t cut some porcelain right.
And some porcelain will chip no matter which blade you use .
But using a sponge and wet cutting usually helps
