Two types of tile cutter I see widely used, the "table saw" type with a diamond wheel and the tile slid through it (or the wheel slides over the tile), - or the score-and-crack type.
Which would work best for large porcelain tiles (600mm by 600mm, about
8mm thick)?I borrowed a friends table saw type (which is too small for these tiles - but allowed me to at least try taking a slice off one edge) - and it cuts them, smoothly but very slowly.
So do I need to get a hold of a larger/professional model, or is score- and-crack better on porcelain?
I also need to do an irregularly shaped cut-out on a tile or two to fit around a shower valve.
What is going to work well for porcelain tiles for irregular cut-outs?
