rubi tx700 not cutting tiles anymore ! - TilersForums.com

[bluesky]

i have well used tx700 but over the last few months it seems to struggle to cut any tiles that are half hard.
i am currently cutting fired earth tiles that look like wood (900 x 150) and am having to cut them on wet machine - very time consuming !!
any thoughts ?

New scoring wheel?

Is it just some of the tiles are getting extremely hard, changed my TX700 because I struggled with some tiles for a sigma, been lucky so far but there was a post on here where some guys were struggling to cut some tiles with the sigma.

That tile is too long to fit in a TX700, could that be your problem? :smilewinkgrin:

thanks all - did think about the wheel and will get new tomorrow - it seems to be scoring okay and did try 2/3 times across but it just didnt want to snap the tile !
i ll let you know how i get on !!
