    Default Best disc for high glazed tiles?

    Evening all
    Any suggestions?
    Have been tinkering around tonight with some very high glazed porcelanosa tiles for a future job.
    Using my angle grinding and wet cutting noticed there are many fine chippins that stand out badly due to the colour of the tile.
    Admittedly the 2 discs are for hard porcelain and are rubi so would seem i could do with a disc more suited,any ideas?
    Cheers
    Kev

    Why not just cut them on a Rubi ts600 or whatever.
    Put in a new cutting wheel and your away.

    Hi John
    Have tried a size 10 wheel lightly scoring which gave quite a clean cut but wouldn't mind having the back up a of disc as well that gives a good clean cut if required.
    Very expensive tiles and quite a lot of future work if all goes well so wanting to be well prepared.
    Cheers
    Kev

    Seem to have had some success with the chipping
    Bought a couple of size 10 rubi wheels.
    One for the cutter and the other to use manualy cemented into a wooden handle.
    Replaced my old wet cutter as the bearings were screaming and cut to the side of the scribe line.
    Very good result and a slight file on the cut edge should finish it off
    Thanks
