1200mm is the biggest tile I will fit with the equipment I have. Plus I’m not a Tiler

You can get each of the three handle variants for most of the machines and depending on the material and amount of cuts required and how quickly they’re needed I will interchange handles accordingly.
The klick klock handle is easier to align than the max but not as powerful or as good at scribing very textured tiles and it’s slower to use than the standard handle which is the easiest to align. I use it the most however because I damaged my wrist some time ago and the pushing action is much less stressful on my wrist than the pull to score action of the standard handle. Anything that’s tough and the max handle goes on.
Never mix https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ or grind near your cutter as the fine dust will cause havoc with your machine. https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ dust on a dry rail will set over night in the finer parts of the handle when the moisture and condensation of night time comes into play.
I clean my handles by removing them and using a wire pipe cleaner, a big wipe and nothing more, I regularly oil the wheel and hindge.
As said height adjustment specific to your tile thickness is paramount. Also make sure that your tile can sit relatively flat on the spring bed even by using a prop of some sort on dipping corners of larger tiles.
I have cases that I never use, there’s no need.
Wipe down your measuring bar and spring bed several times a day and the machine will cut like new for many years to come.
@impish tip for moving the tile a few mil of the measuring bar after scoring is also one of the best pieces of advice I’ve read in this thread.

Tell me I'm wrong..
