dave thats the one i was thinking of getting from tradetiler.
just not sure if it would have been suitable for 10ml thick polished porcelain.
would the 6ml scoring wheel be ok?
thanks

would this one be allot better than the 60 n plus
im thinking of taking up tiling as a career so would this one be better in the long run?

If you are thinking of taking tiling up then get the TX cutter.....much better for large format when you do it for a living..

I have the ts50+ for splash backs and ceramics etc.....then a TR400s for floors with around 300 x 300 hard tiles and then i have the TX700n for big stuff or riven porcelain....

I have 2 other cutters i no longer use...A ts40 and ts60.....


So buy what you will need to be tiler and then you won't waste pennies..

if i had to buy all of them i would be bankrupt before i even start hehee:yikes:
i never thought bying a tile cutter would be such a dilema :mad2:
i think i will go for the 60 n plus, and after i have tiled about 50 m2 of porcelain i will have this conversation again and then i would have made my mind up wether to take tiling up as a career or not lol
