The Belle minitile 230 is fine for taking 5mm or less off. I can see why you would have had a problem with the snap cutter if that's all you wanted to take off.

I can only speak for the Belle Minitile because that is the one I have used for the porcelain tiles I laid.

You sure :dizzy2:

Neale, that was my experience with the 600x300 B&Q Porcelain tiles that I used on the Belle Mini tile 230. Mind you it was a while so I had try to remember the time, didn't time it.

my rubi ts 50 plus can cut porcelains no problem if you give it a quick score and snap obviously like dave says which type of porcelain is it if not try and use a wet saw

Hi, a couple of guys have this cutter and have problems with the lenghthwise cut -one of the machines snapped itself last week ! 1 month old from Screwfix - they replaced it foc !!

:hurray:the plasplug you mentioned is a cracking cutter for 600's i've recently invested in one and its first job was 500mm porcelan squares,no problems!!

Hi David, how long did it take to do a cut of 500 ,on this baby. David

I have a rubi dw200n, eats stones & porcelains for breakfast

less than 60 secounds from laying on table to finished cut

needs to be used outside as the excess spray soaks everything within a 2m radius!

what i sometimes find is the buffer that keeps the tile square on the time has a habit of moving,which results in a out of square cut

still one of my best tiling buys

get a marcrist blade on the go fella.

Hello everyone, I am running a large site cutting 600 x 300 porcelain tiles which are proving a devil to cut whether by Sigma, Rubi or Clinker and the waste issue has raised its head with the site managers - they allow us 10% but we are exceeding this. I do wonder if a wet cutter is the answer but, having no great knowledge of the, how long would a 600 mm cut take and what size wet cutter would you recommend - a plas plug 100 quid job with diamond wheel or something more substantial. Many Thanks. David.

Hi mate, this must really be down to the particular model ( not make ) of cutter you are using. I use a RUBI TX700N on hard to snap porcelain. Never had a problem. The TX range can be found on Trade Tiler website. Well worth the money :yes:

Bet the TX 1000 is heavy !!!
Thank god have never needed one. Have only been asked to do one job with 1 metre tiles. Turned it down as customer was not prepared to pay my price ( which was a bit inflated to include a proportion of the price of a new cutter, to cut them with ) Wasn't going to pay for it all myself and have it gather dust in my garage !

i have the tx 1200 n, rubbish cutter, just not up to the job, use it most for diagonal cutting 60x60 tiles where you cut through the angle you have to break a fair way down the rail and the bars bend up and you cannot break the tile , there are much better more robust cutters on the market ,mine has never cut totally square either the screw thread which holds the guide bar stop has stopped holding the guide now, absolute crap and i paid over £600 for the pleasure thanks rubi
