I assumed natural stone would follow its own faults, and just ignore the scribe to be honest.

not always on the tight grain ones but be carefull as you can waste some if not

i actually meant to mention this a few weeks ago,we were looking for blades for cutting miles of cheap ceramic tiles and bought 2 packs of 2 blades from screwfix at about £9(yes for 2 blades:yikes got to say excellent value for money,180mm for rubi 180's(obviously),and i've used them on a few porcelain jobs and had no probs what so ever,obviously they don't last as long as marcist or the better known names but at that price they work out cheaper for larger jobs with thinner/cheaper quality tiles

Done the same.my mate uses mine and said there was less chipping and the pair were £7,porcelain no probs

I think what Pete was saying is that it's quicker to just cut a 45 degree cut into the corner of the L shape, then use the dry cutter to snap the longer lengths. If you have the wet cutter inside with the dry cutter, it's quicker. If like me, you have the wet cutter outside, then maybe just as quick to do both cuts on the wet cutter.

Not sure about the misunderstanding with stone!?!

no if you cut it with a wet cutter at 45 Degs and break the two pieces with a dry cutter you will have two clean edges without any chips as its not a cut against the L shape with a diamond blade
