after completing a 2 week tiling course i have just finished my 1st complete bathroom for a paying customer , floor to ceiling tiled with one of those border things and can i say (excuse my french ) fuxx me , it`s ok in a controlled environment but it`s a different ball game in the real world , not one wall square , plaster hacked off to expose a dodgy crumbly uneven wall and the customer supplied the tiles with 4 spare , made me sweat a few times , i found the border a pain to grout and clean up but 2 days later hey presto job done , mind you a week later still no sign of some cash , don`t know why but every tile i cut on my rubi TS40 with a small wheel left a jagged cut and had to smooth off with a rubbing block , any suggestions ? , any way i`m off good luck to all you would be tilers if you can`t be safe ,be careful it`s a scarey place in the real world 🙁
 
Well done!

Cutter: check the wheel is ok and good to use, check it's spinning when you score and not just scoring. Sometimes a weak glaze on a cheap backed tile can leave dodgy edges though.

i found that when i was on a course the cutters are well used on the courses but i found out that the bigger wheel scored better 4 me ?
 
Sounds like the smaller wheel has given up. get a new sharp one 😀
