Thats A First..

[Spare Tool]

Finally come across a tile the sigma won't cut..tried one score, five scores, steady pressure, quick snap, just won't cut em
Bring on the Rubi brigade

Did you adjust the fence right up to allow min pressure. .

No Dave wound it down to increase, should I have gone the other way?

Yes ... Right up till the foot just catches , then a whack down on the handle , this gives max break but with little pressure that crushes etc,

You learn something everyday ! I have a Rubi TS - is there anyway you can adjust these - apart from pressure or raising and lowering the wheel?

They look like the tiles I had a couple of weeks ago. I just angle ground them then wiped off the tile dust. The dust stuck to them and I had to used neat acid to clean them up prior to grouting. Are they anti slip? Are the customers wanting Ebony grout? I used the Bal pre-seal on them after I neutralised the acid. They came up a treat.

Could be same Shaun, yes they were anti-slip, my customer just wanted grey grout, they grouted and cleaned up ok without sealing.

@Dave tried winding the breaker up but that didn't help, ended up wetcutting them all, was only an ensuite floor so not too big a deal just surprised to find a tile the sigma wouldn't cut, its cut everything I've thrown at it up to now
