    Which 180mm blade for cutting porcelain tiles.

    Yes I'm wet cutting all of them and I agree that I imagine the tiles are a lot to blame but this ATS blade is working better than all of the others so it is at least partly hardware related.

    Which 180mm blade for cutting porcelain tiles.

    Well the blade arrived yesterday as promised and I did a few cuts and the results are the best I've managed so far and look to be inline with the pictures of cuts posted in one of the other threads on here. The best results are with the glazed side facing downwards and going slowly and this...

    Which 180mm blade for cutting porcelain tiles.

    Thanks for the very fast reply Stef. I was just searching the forum and saw reference to the ATS continuous blade being tested and it looked pretty good. I take it these are mail order only and can't be picked up anywhere locally?

    Which 180mm blade for cutting porcelain tiles.

    I bought a Vitrex 750 tile cutter the other day to cut some Wickes 600 x 300 x 9mm glazed porcelain tiles. The standard blade chips badly so I also bought a Vitrex Hi Glaze blade 103406 which cuts better but still chips the edges a bit and has a bit of runout in it. Is the runout in the blade...

    Anyone used the new Wickes Tile Panel (not aquapanel)?

    I'm aiming for a snug fit on one end and the side and then I think I'm going to be left with a gap of about 10 - 20mm to do something with. As the bath is out at the moment there is nothing stopping me tanking down the wall behind the bath before it's fitted.

    Anyone used the new Wickes Tile Panel (not aquapanel)?

    The bath is a straight 1600 x 800 and is going touching 3 full height wall, two brick for one end and the side and a timber stud for the other end.

    Anyone used the new Wickes Tile Panel (not aquapanel)?

    Thank you for the prompt reply guys, it's much appreciated. If I went the route of MR plasterboard around the room any particular recommendations for tanking? Are the liquids such as the Ardex and Mapei systems adequate and will they work as well as a membrane? Also when using either a liquid...

    Anyone used the new Wickes Tile Panel (not aquapanel)?

    I need to tile 3 sides around a bath with a shower going into it. Two of them have been stripped back to brick and the third is a a stud wall. Has anyone tried the new Wickes Tile Panel which is made by Knauf for Wickes and is £15.49 for a 4 x 3 sheet...
