Serious Problem With Tx700

[Ian]

I don't know where to begin with this issue, I'm so distraught I can barely see my computer screen through the tears. I've been happily using this cutter for 4 years now and have never had a problem cutting 600x600mm tiles in half (best cutter on the market for this job) but, today I scribed a 10mm sliver and it cut it perfectly, no visit to the wet saw or grinder outside. I thought only Sigmas could do this! Can someone please shed some light on this and tell me what's happened? How do I fix it, I'm worried about looking like a right mug in front of my customers. Yours hopefully, cry baby Bri

Pffft , a paper clip would cut those tiles , there's me thinking it was a serious test lol lol...

I wouldn't be bragging if it's taken 4 years of trying to finally accomplish it!

You wouldn't have done that with those tiles I was using a few weeks ago from Porcelenasa.
They do vary a lot though in strength, as I have done a floor this week using polished porcelain tiles, and on the side of them it stated:

MADE IN CHINA

Needless to say, they did not take much breaking as I used my cheapo tilemate pro big clinker 630 from Topps for this job!

I had these a few weeks ago and my TX700 wouldn't snap them!

Bri have you had any porcelain it wouldnt snap

Maybe a couple of tiles, 99% it's spot on with. Sometimes the tile needs a double score but, all in all, an 8mm wheel does the trick.
