    I use the rubi gold scoring wheels on my tx as they last longer. I would use an 8 or 10 mm on smooth or polished porcelain and a 22 mm on rough or textured porcelain....

    If it is a TS then same advice applies, though the TS does struggle to cut a lot of porcelain....

    Hi Shogun rua you have not got a tx60 because they do not make one. They make a tr 600 or a ts60 but not a tx, But that does not matter. The scoreing wheel to use on polished or smooth porcelain is 8mm and 6mm. The best of the 2 is 8mm because it last longer because its bigger. 10mm is for non slip ceramic and if your on uneven or non smooth porcelain it is 18mm as the v on the scoreing wheel is at a different angle for porcelain and ceramic.
