TX700 from CTD

[White Room]

Did'nt know that, where from deano

 

[doug boardley]

are the gold ones more durable? I know that they aint really gold, but why go for a gold wheel?

 

[DHTiling]

They last a lot longer doug than the standard wheels..

 

[White Room]

I use the gold one for my ts cutters and it lasts longer

 

[Hawkofeagles]

this is the one I got off david

Which one would you use on 600x600 B&Q porcelain then as mine came with 2 wheels but not sure of the sizes?

 

[DHTiling]

6mm or 8mm for polished porcelain etc.. the larger wheels come in handy for coarse tiles..

I use the smaller wheel for smooth tiles and the larger wheel for riven tiles etc. no matter what the size of tile

don’t know where they came from m8 I ordered them when I was at the collage and they fell in to my bag by mistake.

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Ok just checked on the sizes, I have an 18mm and a 10mm cutting wheel..

 

[DHTiling]

I use the 10mm all the time.. no probs..

 

[merlecollins]

10mm gold on both my TX and TS - Got the 22mm Gold for my TS40+ as I did a job before Xmas with 200x100x18mm thick, aggregate finish, vitrified Pilks and it flew through them

I got the TX700N '09' model in December and we will very soon announce our engagement:lol::lol:

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Nice one Dave thanks.

The V and B rep that came out to see why we were having probs getting a clean snap, looked at my tools set up and just said he was stumped, but that he always allowed a 75%, wastage when cutting V and B tiles:yikes: I ran this through him, "So you have to cut 4 to get 1?".... he nodded.
I rang rubi, they emailed me with advice to get a 22mm for the very tough tiles, and believe me, they were extremely tough tiles:incazzato:

 

[DHTiling]

Yes doug.. the more pressure you have to apply when scoring to break the glaze then the larger the wheel.. this is so the wheel spindle will not break under pressure and last longer.

 

[doug boardley]

they must have been fired at near 2000 degrees, damned tough:mad2:

 

[DHTiling]

Some have a thick glaze doug and then the porcelenato body.... and no hand cutters touch them.. CTD sell one that is wet cut only..:mad2:

 

[doug boardley]

these ones were " fire and ice" series from Vand B, but eventually the TX700 with the 22mm wheel sorted them, I'd have been stumped otherwise as I was on a price:smilewinkgrin:
