I was cutting porcelain tile and had the same issue. I tried everything I could think of: cutting the tile face down, masking tape, painters tape, double masking tape, new standard blade ($30), new more premium blade ($100). None of them resolved what I considered to be chipping of the tile surface. I'm sure there is a solution but I haven't found it. I wanted to share what I tried.
I tried every method you mentioned as well and failed, until I raised my platform with two pieces of sheet rock under the metal, that fixed the depth of the saw blade by only showing 5/8 of an inch, it allowed the blade to have less friction and keep consistent rpm to make clean cuts throughout the tile. Hope this gives you an idea, took me about 2-3 hours to make that invention
I have a $1,500 haskvarna wet saw and having trouble even cutting porcelain straight. I have a topline pro knaufman tile cutter scorer. I cut porcelain like a breeze and no score marks. I can cut a 600mm long tile say 25mm wide. I think that is pushing the limit. Any narrower and I think it will break. I'm doing a job so need to get a wet saw in place in case some of the cuts are less than 25mm wide. I think you need a plunge wet tile saw cutter. Cut from the top with a dedicated wet porcelain tile saw blade. Good video and bringing out issues that attempts to improve cuts in porcelain.
I have a Skil wet saw which seems to chip at the very end on the bottom right corner, but otherwise the cut is extremely smooth, nothing like what you're experiencing. I move the tile really slowly through the blade, and also have a guide. That might help, because otherwise you're probably making tiny adjustments as you go along without even realizing it, and so the blade is not going perfectly straight through the tile. Just a thought as to what might be happening. I'm only an average DIY'er.
Did someone have you at gunpoint making you watch it? Move on somewhere else because your rude comments do nothing for me other than realizing your some 10 yr old bored child
do what I did.i had a chip implanted into my brain or more specifically cerebral cortex.i now perceive everything in ultra slow motion.there will be no tile that you know that you couldn't cut with your eyes shut,or even open!
Hello everyone, I always use the side guide and l push the tile using a piece of wood or plastic as thick as the tile or thicker. The side of the tile which touches the guide is almost perfectly cut, but the other side is full of chips. ln my humble opinion, the firmer the grap the cleaner the cut. P.D. Flipping the tile makes even bigger chips. Hope it helps someboby.
Chips mean the blade is dull and you need to get a blade stone to sharpen it or get a new blade. The stone is a rectangular block you can buy for around 10 bucks at your hardware store.
I just bought wet tile cutter, look very similar to your. It's new, with new blade and I have this same problem, doesn't cut clean. And one of the reason why I bought this is to have nice clean cut. Why is like that? Maybe because the cutter is cheap? Or I doing some thing wrong?

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated!
I aways score my tile as much as I can and then use the electric tile cutter. Any chips usually don't go further than the score line.
Okay, thanks for sharing!
Have you tried putting tile face down and cutting it ?
Mine does exactly same as yours
But cuts perfectly with tile face down
Good idea, thanks! I'll try it next time I'm using this machine.
this video did nothing for me.
Absolute waste of time!
Same; I got more out of the comments

just wondering does the water just sit in the black box beside the blade on this model?
Yes, the bottom of the blade is in the water and the water sits in the black box.
Dull blade also not moving it through smoothly could be a problem. Seems like a lot of stop and go which will twist and chip
Did anyone find a solution to this, currently struggling with the same issue on porcelain tiles! 😓

try to use side fence to prevent tile from tilting right and left
also try to scratch the tile with glass cutter diamond first
Okay, thanks for the tips!

It's a good question, but unfortunately I don't know why... Hopefully someone else may have an answer for you.
@@Howto..GardenGarageHouse The only way to get a perfect "factory clean, plished cut" is with a over head wet saw with a "plunge cut" ability
might also be due to the maker of the tile and the price of the tile in what they put into it, sometimes u get what you pay for
How did you solve this?
Sorry, but I wasn't able to solve this problem...
Are you using diamond blade?
yes
It's time to change the diamond blade, to a good one, and not any of those cheap aftermarket knock off from China
Dang your blade isn’t secure. When it’s powered off and disconnected, see if blade wiggles back-and-forth.
Dude you need a new and special blade for porcelain tiles
I have same issue with brand new blade
Thanks for sharing. I had the same issue when this blade was new too...
Blunt blade
