I noticed in another thread you're quoting for a porcel job Stef,What are you using to cut them & lift them?
d'u get it?
Praps your question was a bit more general than how I read it.
I use 4 different methods of cutting.
Depends on what I feel like on day and type of cut tbh.
I use Ray's speed cutter on repeat cuts typically.
Then it's a toss up between the 1280 sigma and my Montolit Flashline, which I do like a lot. That's a 3.6m slide cutter. And exceptional value for money!
That notwithstanding, if I was to choose again, I may go for Antonios Freecut instead. More expensive tho. (Quite a bit)
And there's the trusty grinder with the right blade. (Important decision to be made there I feel)
As far as handling goes, I've not actually tried a carrying system, but I believe they can be a hinderance rather than a help. But I feel sure I'll buy one one day! Haha single handed operating vacuum pumps I reckon will probably be the best solution.
The best tips I could give u on handling are, don't clump them on walls or doorframes when moving them, especially if they've had a checkout cut in them!
If you're gonna stand them on edge, make sure it's ALWAYS the longest edge!
If you're gonna stack a pile against a wall, make sure both the tops and bottoms of each tile are touching each other. (No voids between tiles)
So pretty much all common sense stuff, nothing u don't already do!
And if this isn't what u were asking, it don't matter cos it's made sitting in rush hour traffic on my way to work, far less painful!
Ps. Nearly all of this I've been lucky enough to pickup thro working alongside Gary & Ray!
