i have never tried to cut them before and i wondered if how tough they were, will they split with my RUBI the (WHEESHT KLUNK machine) or do they have to be done on the saw, do i need special type of blade, some-one sugested i try a markrist but they make all sorts of different quality ones.. i bought a markrist D750 last year and i was not impressed by it, i still have it lying in the back of the van hardly used because it doesn't cut very much! | ||||||||||

The tiles are made with Granite chippings and will be quite hard.....you will have to wet cut them YES!!.....A good quality continous rim blade will do the job....... I have been using the marcrist blade and didn't rate it against the new rubi cpc2 i have bought and used today...what a blade!!!...... | ||

cool, the blade is not as pricey as i immagined either. i see a markrist blade advertised next to it as well. it is a model or two up from the one i have and has what looks like it has a "turbo cut" thing going on with the chevron edge. the only thing i noticed on the web site was that the cpc2 with 180 mm diameter was only advertised with a 22.2 mm bore? | ||||||||||

The turbo cutting blade can some times causing chipping......but the cpc2 is designed for hard tiles....mine is a 200mm blade and has the 25.4 bore.....give neil a shout at buybrandtools and see what size boe they come in.......most usually come in both....  | ||
