Hi guys - I need some help...
I've been a tiler for 15 years and I've never run across this problem before, I am installing 300 x 600 porcelain tiles and I simply can not cut them without them shattering, splintering or chipping. I started off using my rubi tx 900 because most cuts are simple straight cuts, but the tile doesn't follow the scribe line (I've even tried scoring the back which worked on one occasion), I 've tried scoring the line several times and have new scoring blade. I've tried scoring then dry cutting with brand new diamond blade but it chips (the tile chips so badly I can't rub out with a diamond pad) and I have tried wet cutting with and without a scoring line made first same problem as dry cutting chips too serve to rub out.
Any ideas or thoughts would be great on this problem
