Rubi Porcelain Blade

[hillhead]

my sigma 300 blade cuts all really well
my little RUBI ND180 has the cpc blade in and does cut well,iv used it a few times now.

That's actually a strong possiblity Dave, as every now and again when i power down, there is some vibration as if there may be a wobble. No play in it when it's not spinning though, so wasn't sure what to make of that. Didn't consider it being the cause of the chipping, as the original blade left a really nice cut when it was new, but then maybe the wobble is a new development caused by me straining it with the old blunt blade?

My apologies to Rubi, i may have jumped the gun a bit there. :30:

If you do a search on the forum beanz, this has been mentioned a few times with that make of cutter.

We are talking about 'L' shaped cuts and intricate detail cuts on a wet machine aren't we!
I would hate to think that every straight cut is being done wet and not just on a simple TX/similar.

Okay, cheers Dave.

tilers should only buy "contiuous rim" blades,

if you have a serrated blade it will chip...

you need a blade similar to this:

and not a blade similar to this:

thats my opinion anyway, some peeps may have different opinions...

i am afraid i must disagree why is everyone using these to cut a good edge on porcelain ? i only have found 1 tile in 27 years i couldn't cut on a dry cutter and that was a heavily riven porcelain

are you cutting slate,travertine and marble etc on a dry cutter?
if so what are you using?

dont be daft but i have never seen one of these blades chip stone unless you use the wrong one

PS i do cut some terracotta marble and granite with a rubi dry cutter

Yep. L shape cuts, although one was a particularly long L shape cut in a 600mm tile. Realistically, i could've just wet cut the smaller edge, but as i was on the cutter anyway i figured i'd do the long edge too.

yes but if a L shape cut needs a good edge you wet cut it at 45 degs and snap it with a dry cutter dont you ?

 

[beanz]

No usually to be honest, but that is another option.

i am at a loss...wet cutter = stone/composite
dry cutter = porcelain/ceramic

in 15 years i have never heard anyone using a dry cutter (other than an angle grinder) to cut stone.

and if you are going to take it to a wetsaw, whats the point of then taking it to a dry cutter?

sorry, maybe i dont understand???

 

[beanz]

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!?!
