What is the hardest tile you have came across to cut? - Tile Advice

[bigdave1903]

Yeah but would have to cut 10 times consistently to prove it's any better, did rep only cut once?

He cut one and I cut one. Would've maybe bought one at the start of the job as there were 3 fully tiled wetrooms with that tiles. Too big and bulky for my liking though.

Was that new Rubi any good? How did it compare to the Sigma?

It seemed to be really good actually. Felt more like a sigma than a rubi to be honest.

Take it you haven't had the best of days either! I tidied up after I got that walls tiled only for the van not to start and flat battery! Pissing of rain and after a trip to get a new one soaked and hands black, sitting sulking now!!

Well let's just say this job is presenting me with a whole new load of challenges.
Don't want to say much, it'll spoil the laughter at the end! Haha

Oh dear, got to say I do empathise.

It seems to be catching then.
I know of at least 5 guys on different jobs today all having a day from hell!

BM2's with a tungsten chisel.

Hardest has been a full bodied porcelain from Royal Mosa. They weighed about twice what a normal tile weighs. Sigma needed a great whack to split them.
Most difficult was a glass-glazed, cushion-edged 90x90 floor tile from Fanal.
Nothing, but nothing would cut them cleanly.

Why do tile manufacturers make tiles without any consideration for cutting them???
It's happening more and more.
