Recommended cutter for 1200mm porcelain - TilersForums.com

The material you’re trying to cut could well be part of the problem.
Just because a smaller version of the tile cuts, that in no way means a larger piece will.
The only similarity will be the colour and possibly texture, other than that they are completely different tiles.

Understood. I ended up using a crappy £90 wetsaw on them in the end

Erbuear?

haha that one aint too bad as it goes.. but I threw away the guide and support extension so I had to buy, and I'm ashamed to admit this, but a Titan one *hangs head in shame* but I only wanted it for these tiles

Well I have the Erbuaer and its okay, not great but not terrible.

Here is a vid of what I’m doing:

James that tile sounds quite textured. Try scoring it several times until you’re definitely through the glaze then gently weaken it with the breaker at the top end 15mm back from edge until you hear or see the surface begin to open but stop at that point and move back to the bar end with the handle and in a slow and gradual action apply force with the breaker and see if that works.

I scored it about 4 times, but I'' give it another go either later or tomorrow (daddy duties at the mo haha), thanks for the suggestion

And to top off my Sigma hatred, as I was getting the 'shark' (looks like a shark with the fins out) out my van, my 25kg tool rucksack fell out and straight onto my foot. I now have a damaged big toe
