Using Rubi Tile cutter on porcelain

[dagger]

Thanks all for your help - I have got a couple of adequate cuts now and have come to the conclusion that all I need is practice + more tiles - or a professional!

Cheers

try changing the cutting wheel to 18mm gold(tile trader), depending on how the porcelaine has been fired you may not get a deep enough cut using a ts60plus and if its double compressed, definatly use this wheel, as some one else pointed out the tx eliminates this problem with the breaking system. Our rubi rep lee will gladly show you the best way to use tx 60 plus as if you are used to using a ts 40 the hammer action needs to change. also try using your fingers either side of the scribe line about 2" down from the breaker! works for me:hurray:

Some great advice there and genarally i have no problems cutting porcelain with my rubi...except; on two occasions using glazed smooth porcelain I have had to wet cut as there was no way the tiles would break straight, no matter what method and even starting the cut at both ends with the wet cutter. I was beat:mad2:. I cant remember their name but I hope i never see them again! either 400 or 450 square.

Most porcelain, i can ust a 20mm strip off tiles so it was definitely the tiles.....or was it!:20:
