    Issue cutting tile with sigma max

    Hey, thanks for the reply. My tiles aren't from there. They are mino if I remember correctly. Wish I had thought of grinding the end before cutting. Certainly beats grinding the whole length of the tile. Onto the floor tiles now which cut like a dream.

    :) Hi. Thanks for replying to my thread. The tiles are only 600 x 300. Maybe my wheel is too low as some times when I just push the roller to score the tile breaks. Been hit and miss today with some nice cuts if scored a few times but also a lot of shearing.

    Issue cutting tile with sigma max

    :) Hi Dave. Thanks again for your willingness to help. Sorry for my ignorance Dave. So is the bar where the tile snaps on called the guide bar?
