Using Rubi TS 60 plus for snapping 45° cuts - how?

I'll give it a go tomorrow on some scrap tiles if I get a chance.

TBH it's a pretty poor show for Rubi if it doesn't :mad2:

I dont think so.
The TS range has been around in that form for many years and before porcelain tiles were common.
Since the coming of porcelain tiles Rubi have come up with the TR and TX range ( and TS, TT , Sigma type) to cover all types of tiles.

OK, maybe I'm expecting too much from it.

TBH my customer did rather suprise me with the porcelain. I still managed to cut them with the wet cutter.

I went for the TS plus, rather than the TS. I suspect I'll start tiling more with ceramics again in the future.

The TS 60 Plus managed them fine along straight cuts, though cutting 50mm off along their 600mm length did pose a challenge. I found a sharp plunge rather than a gentle squeeze on the braking handle gave me better results.

Thanks for all the replies.

I made a video of how to do this, I suppose I should upload it somewhere

I tried on a scrap piece of porselain tile today.

I cut at 45° and then offered the tile with its edge up to the bar at the top. I then positioned the score line at at an angle. It did snap along the line except for at the top, where it interefered with the top part of the breaking mechanism.

I would be grateful for a peek at that video though David.
