Marchrist 850 180mm blade, chipping porcelain and ceramic - Tile Advice

[lmkitchens]

Hello guys! Just upgraded the blade in my plasplugs master electric tile cutter to a 180mm Marchrisy 850 blade. Been doing a bit more porcelain on the small amount of jobs I do lately so instead of struggling with the original blade I changed it.

It seems to not make a clean cut but chip the tiles, although the required effort is little so its deffo an improvement!#

Anybody had anything like this? Any advice?

Cheers

I had the same with a marcrist so changed to a Montolit dna blade with far superior results..

same for me with the marcrist, chipping porcelain. i hardly use the wet cutter now though as the sigma s great on porcelain

Doh! I didnt want to stretch that little bit more for the montolit blade, absolute bugger. Will it bed in any with a bit of use? A nice shiny Ruby Ts-60 is on my list next!

i don't think it'll get any better unfortunately and don't waste you're money on a ts 60 as it's no good with decent porcelain. get the tx version or better still a sigma

Ouch! A Tx 700 is a bit more than I thought I was looking at, but we need the tools to do a good job!
