These,
You haven't got a hope cutting these without chipping.
I gave them a very light score through the sigma & were ok but tried to wet cut them for wetroom floor & they chipped really bad.

Strange as I did a wetroom a year ago with Borneo Blue walls and thought they cut really well both dry and wet, no problems at all

 

[Stevetiler]

maybe the quality have fallen in that time ! Big companys trying to save money ,they were badley bowed as well

Definitely not bowed, I've never had trouble with Porcelanosa tiles, but I know few of the guys have complained about bowing recently

I try to cut "flakey" tiles on my wet-saw (Vitrex) face down, which seems to produce less problems. Protect the face from scratching with some masking tape runners on the saw.

 

[Stevetiler]

Cheers p4ulo I'll give it a go fingers crossed

They putting them as wetroom floor (or have miss-read) they are gonna be seriously slippy if they are.

Sometimes wet cutting through glazed topped helps on a slight angle helps, ie: set your wet cutter table top to 30/45 degree angle.
