Ok m8,the cutters are ok m8 but there is better out there.I have one myself and they are good for doing cuts od the diamond and the breaking mechanism is good but it does struggle a little when it comes across thick porcelain tiles as the bars start to bend,this is what i have found anyway m8 but they are good for starting off with.

thanks for that brian m8 it will have to do until i get enough jobs to pay for a better wan cheers bud mone the gers!

YIP, THE BARS BENT A BIT AS BRI SAYS WHEN IT TACKLES THICK PORC BUT IT WILL GET YOU BY FOR THE FIRST YEAR OR 2. Ideal cutter when startin out.

I think most cutters are going to struggle with thick porcelain and some porcelain is so dense that any dry cutter wont break it, the key i find in breaking porcelain is in the deep score line and a quick snap

as darren sez some porcelain wont cut no matter which dry cutter you use, i had to use a bridge cutter on tiles from fired earth , bathroom took me twice as long to tile , some other porcs struggle to get a clean break...

I dont pick em i just stick em !!

I've got the Genisis and its great for ceramics and not too bad with some porcelain.When I've had thick tiles I've used the rubi ts60 from topps and each time its not broken them so like some of the other guys have said it will do you well.
