Get a piece of wood and mark and cut wood so that it just sits between rails at front of cutter, then try all along rails to see if it is tight or loose, turn rails until wood is exactly same all the way along then tighten everything up.

Have you had this before mate?

Is there any play on the mechanism ie the cutting part between the rails, try moving left and right there should be no play

I'll have a look tomorrow. It probably needs a bit of TLC. I'm trying really hard at the mo to up my game and its a bit frustrating, but I'll get there :)

True mate. I always do the best job I can, but inspired by the guys and girls on here so trying hard to educate and experiment with regards to tiling etc. Really enjoying tiling at present...frustrated at times, especially with regards to the amount of time it takes me, but won't sacrifice quality for quantity.

Used to do as above for same reasons but as I'm tiling a lot of bathrooms with same tiles on walls and floor I find it easier to tile floor first then tile off of the floor to ensure grout joints line up .
Buy a better tape measure Jerry, then you won’t have to lay the floor first! Haha :D
