just got the tx max 1250 as I'm laying 80cmx80cm tiles. Not sure what's going wrong but the cut tailed at the bottom even though it was scored 2-3 times all the way through. Tried again by pressing the breaker in the middle, and again got about 60cm of clean cut with a tail on either end. Tiles are porcelain 12mm thick and I used the 8mm fine scoring tool as recommended by the book that came with the cutter.
I prefer to use a 10mm score wheel, only score once with a heavier score, pull back 10mm from the start then make sure you keep the same pressure until you run off the end, sometimes double scoring and coming off the pressure results in the tail off, hope this helps
I have just got the ts66 max, tried it for the first time the other day with some 600x300 porcelain tiles but couldn’t get a clean cut, could this be because I’m not breaking fast enough? Or using the wrong size wheel?
Great Video! Why do some people use a wet saw instead of a tile cutter, i ask as ive been given a Rubi Wet Saw to use on 600mm Porcelain tiles and i cant for the life of me get it to cut square, it goes off about 2mm ,its better if i hold the blade cover to pull it along and not the handle. Thank you
This is due to lack of knowledge and understanding of porcelain tiles, they are vitrified and very hard so basic tile cutters dont work as they are not powerful enough, so you need a pro tile cutter then you have to use a certain technique of a heavy score line and a quick snap method at the top of the tile to break them clean, this lack of understanding is why people use a wet cutter, if using a wet cutter you have to have a correct porcelain blade in it which is fitted in the right direction the blade spins in, marked with an arrow on the blade, then you have to go through slowly otherwise you will run off Hope this answers your question
@@mikewaters6980 my rubi is the small one with plastic slides only thing it works ok on is glass and subway tiles the big ones might be OK never used one, sigma is by far the best cutter out there though I've tried most others the 500dollar monolit I bought is a joke
I’ve just bought a immaculate condition used Tx710
Hopefully it will do the job for my bathroom Refurb
Seemed a good deal for £250

try too use less Pressure when cutting
Very helpful Thank you
I have 20 mm thick paver tile 600x600 can i use tile cutter for these tiles
No, these 20mm thick tiles need to be cut with a water fed Still saw or 9 inch angle grinder with a continuous rimmed diamond blade
Yes you can , you need the rubi tz
The KS cutter can cut scribed curves in tile where the others can't. You didn't demo that feature. Thank You
I think you mean the TS, you can do curves in the TS but I have a better method for cutting curves in another video
Nice Rubi Tile cutter comparison 👌
thank you

Buy montolit. Rubi is too bulky and not nearly as ergonomic
I have a monolit and a rubi they both suck and weren't cheap buy a sigma
@@johndoe-mm3jkwhat’s wrong with the rubi? I was thinkin of grabbing one

I tried to reply its been deleted lol ,basically the cheap plastic slides though
@@johndoe-mm3jk Just curious, what bothers U about the Montolit ? Thnx
