Hi Steve.

I can't see a problem with either bit of kit, if in doubt try a small cut on a tile first

You can do straight cuts on your TS60+ use the 10mm wheel.

I wouldnt advisae dry cutting on your wetcutter, you will destroy the blade in no time they arent designed to run dry unless youve bought a dry disc.

Is it the BandQ Porc?

thanks lads,
oli, its probably b&q, but not sure,stve

[Oli]

You should find out if they are B&Q ones before you start, there have been problems with them have a look at these threads mate.....

Dont be tempted to dry cut on your plasplugs as Oli says it will stuff the blade but also create a stupid amount of dust. If it is a B an Q porc it will have a wax coating that will need to be removed prior to sealing there is a thread running about this, worth having a look. all the best with your first job...big or small they all count!

Polished porcelain cuts fine...it's the riven finish stuff thats tricky to cut on the ts range..
