Hi,
Thanks for all the replies yesterday. I went and bought the =A319.99 (reduced from =A329.99) tile cutter from Screwfix this morning.
set it all up as the instructions said, thought I'd give it a try at lunch time, started it up, waited for it to reach full speed... slwly pushed my first tile in and.... it made a horrible noise and started to rattle.
I stoped the machine, lifted teh blade guard to have a look and the silver diamond cutting edge? had broken up, leaving the blade looking like a large bike cog!!!
Has anyone experienced this with one of these blades before.. the diamond coating obviously just disintegrated at the slightest touch of the tile! I was extremely gentle as it was my first time etc and didnt kwno what to expect.
I'm guessing its a dodgy blade, 'm hoping Screwfix will give me a new one that wont do the same! It was quite dangerous as teh bits came flying out! Lucky I had my goggles on!
Tom
