Rubi TS60 - what scoring wheel?

[Element]

I have recently bought a Rubi TS60 cutter second hand, seems in great condition (virtually indestructible). However, the 6mm scoring wheel that it has seems worn out, can anyone recommend what wheel I should get to replace it; there are 6mm, 8mm, 10mm available. I plan to use it for a floor job coming up; big glossy porcelain tiles. Will a 6mm wheel be adequate?
Many thanks for your advice.. 🙂

I'd go for one of the gold wheels for porcs....

Get a few different size cutting wheels from tradetiler. As this may not be your only job.

I have 3 brand new 8mm scoring wheels for sale if your interested for £10 worked well on porcelain when I had my ts60

6mm for lighter stuff , 8mm for everything else ( 6mm will cut porcelain as well but will wear out quicker).

8mm for porcelain.

Thanks for the advice guys, I am planning to get a few different for different work, saw a rubi video and was astonished to see how simple it was for (trained professional 🙂 ) to snap his floor tiles; I can see this tool will be a valuable investment for saving time; fed up using the wet saw for these tiles!

Sean you have a pm.

There are also 10mm wheels - what are they for? Then there are these "Gold" ones - presumably they are anodized with Al2 and not Au, they are advertized as longer lasting - but they are all made from Tungsten carbide - how does one last longer than another? No doubt some of you have tried the different types and will through experience know which last longer; I'd appreciate your input about this 🙂

ts really struggles with porcelain tiles mate but for any ceramic it is a great acuurate cutter, for porc id go for a tx700 they are brilliant. its just down to the snapping system is a lot greater

I did come across some implications that it was for ceramic - but it's pretty big for ceramic tiles and figured a lot of it is down to the scoring wheel maybe...
