Forgot to say, the tiles are Brava Greco. (Greco being the colour). Supplied by Stone Zone in Dorset.

So I assume a Rubi Cleaning Block N is a dressing stick?

Can I use a bit of brick/block/breeze block to get me out of trouble, while I track down a dressing stick?

I'm using an old metal grinding disk to de-glaze the blades. Seems to work ok.

Better late than never, I believe this thema never gets old.

I have a Montolit SCX200 DNA series cutting disc running on the 2011 Montolit Brooklyn.
Never let me down even while cutting a really tough porcelain. Cuts like a dream from the beginning to it's (metal) end. Almost impossible to get it burned, it just wears down faster if you push it too fast. Not the cheapest option to go, however still cheaper than screw up a couple of expensive tiles in my opinion. I think it should cut trough roughly 1km of tiles with no problems.

I've tried a couple of other options, one of them was Rubi Viper series cutting disc.
First problem occurs when trying to fit it on a Montolit Brooklyn cutting machine, it is thicker at the middle and hard to center it.
Secondly it was cutting excellent from the beginning, at one point it started to rip off the top layer from tiles, even tho I was careful not to burn it.

Since I am always open to try new products, I am searching for opinions around here, I think I will give a Marcrist a go in the future.
