Hi all as said above I'm chipping the porcelain tiles I'm cutting.

I have just bought a Rubi ND180 and a new blade for porcelain tiles and its chipping the tiles not big chips but. My old £20 Plasplugs wet tile cutter dose perfect cuts on the same tiles. It's just not big enough to hold the tiles while cutting them.

I'm not forcing the tiles I'm letting the cutter do the work plenty of water in the tray just small chips all along the cuts.

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers Kenny

I've not used that one, it was the original pro-Gres that I had.
For the difference in performance & price I will stick to ATS blades as I'm more than happy with the cut.
yes, is equal + - progres / progres evo 2.
I understood that you used tcs that I put pictures.
I'm not selling anything.
we're just here to understand what is best for tilers.

Didn't mean to open a can of worms..
Progress Evo a very very good cut, ATS blade also a very good cut, this is blade Craig gave me to try, sure he said he'd got 2 delivered for £15. 6 blades for 1..
Antonio you try ATS and compare? View attachment 80923
I'm available.
beware though, ats the comparison with TCS.
because of evo2 cutting finish. not have comparisons.

Thanks folks I did some dry cuts on off cuts and now cutting the tiles upsides down a lot less chipping hardly noticeable

The £20 plasplugs with a general cutting blade dose fantastic cuts absolute madness

Thanks everyone the cuts are good enough I'm going to run with it

Cheers Kenny Mac

I haven't used the tcs blade, I used the original pro-gres blade & that is what my comparison is against.
I still use & own the Squadro blade from Montolit & a DNA blade in my Dewalt.

the thing that annoy. that here are tilers who speak, speak, speak.
and get upset if one reason to ask their claims.
but since I'm curious, I tried then talk. (I have done so. Sorry)
My luck is that I do not understand everything that is said. of tf.ahah

I will not say what's best. ( I do not want to create problems).
I say only that a blade made just one cut. then sparks and no cut.

other blade made 10 cuts and finished work. (No problems) and without wet sponge.

a used blade 40 seconds to 40cm 20mm thickness cut.

the blade made one cut, took 1 minute and 10 seconds.
2 new blades were both.

Now, those who use blue blade. buy red blade, do tests.
those who use red blade. buy blue blade and do tests.
I can also make mistakes. ye maybe more precisely than me.but the difference is huge ;)
