Cutting porcelain tiles

Porcelain · 05-09-2011

Hi all,

I've bought some porcelain tiles from Wickes and it seems the old blade in our wet cutter has worn out.

Looking at buying a new disc and was wondering what to buy? Some say diamond, some say wet and dry but some don't say...

Seen them from £7 going up to silly money, the one we currently have is a 115mm.

Thanks

Not all blades are suitable for porcelain..

As above, you need to make sure that the disk is suitable for the tile.

Ok thanks, i'll have a good search around.

Do they all work with wet cutters? As some don't mention it in the specs.

Also, do you need to seal porcelain tiles once laid or can you just grout them and then use them? It's for a kitchen.

Thanks
