Hi
I have done hundreds of wet rooms. But not in quartz I have the big rubi table saw. I have tried plenty of water a new blade and an old blade and tried a marcrist ultra thin blade to and can’t stop it chipping the eges . The saw cuts all other tiles marble granite no problems

Can any body give me any tips please
Dan👍🏻

From memory it’s not something I’ve found a real problem with.
Are you cutting in several passes or one?
Have you tried just letting the blade sit under it’s own weight as you cut or are you holding blade down?
Have you tried tapping along cut line?
What about cutting the piece face down?
Are the chips that bad you can’t run a variable speed grinder along the edge with a polishing disc?

@JulianSidney may have an opinion.

I always cut them dry with a angle grinder. Will eat the blades, yes very dusty. Set a vac up to your cutting table or do outside. Finish with a variable speed grinder a sanding pad.

When we are saying quartz are we talking about those resin tiles , if so in a wet room doesn't sound like a great idea

Tried all that and still chipped enough so I can’t use it the rest of the room in marble cut like knife through butter

It’s hideous the clients chose every tile in that pattern configuration 🙈😂😂😂

Try montolit perfetto blade, it’s slow cutting through marble but leaves a very clean chip free cut
