Recommended cutter for 1200mm porcelain - Tile Advice

[Waluigi]

Topps Tiles often have a Pallet box or bin with damaged tiles in.

I doubt you’ll find much over 600mm tho....

Do you have a photo of the back of the tile @James De ?

The tile in the video doesn't look over 600

It’s an off cut of the 1200

I know but ultimately that’s the size he is trying to cut on his job (1200mm)

Disagree ,its the tile
The back looks like one I had 18 months ago . It didn't cut .

Some tiles are over tensioned and simply wont cut clean and if that Sigma can’t dobit I’d say it’s likely to be the problem. Marazzi are famous for it.

Maybe I don’t know, im just saying that the size of the tile he is trying to cut is 1200mm. Nothing more than that.

That’s unfortunate though. The very first tile that is being attempted to cut is not able to cut. What a bummer

This is almost certainly 1 of of them tiles.it just wont snap a small cut cleanly. The only thing i would try other than a wet cutter or grinding the whole tile. I would scribe the tile as normal.then run your grinder about 1 to 2 inches into the tile then place the snapping handle just in front and snap there.its worked for me in the past.

Just had the pleasure of spending some time today with @3_fall
I successfully cut 30mm slices off those 1200’s with my sigma after being shown how to use it and how NOT to lean on the tile while snapping it
Cheers @3_fall very much appreciate it mate

Are you keeping it now?

Not 100% sure yet.. I’ll use it on a shower enclosure job I got in a couple weeks. Only thing I dislike about it now is it’s so damn big
