Which replacement tile cutter blade from Screwfix?

Question

Hi,I bought a Rexon TC1150AL tile cutter from Screwfix which has done O.K. butthe blade is now getting worn.I assume it is blade wear - the cut is now a little chipped at the edges andthe width of cut is not quite enough for the cut tile to fit comfortablybetween the parting blade and the plastic width guide.Looking for a replacement at Screwfix there is not a Rexon one, but thereare threee possible replacements:If I look at Ihave three options:a Titan blade for £9.99an Erbauer blade for £14.99a Norton Ultimate for £35.99Does anyone have any experience of these different blades?Does the Norton Ultimate justify the high price compare to the others?TIADave R

If the diamond coating had worn off enough to effect the width of the cut I'd not expect it to cut at all.

The grooved type don't seem to give as fine a cut as the plain. Much quicker, though. And probably essential for thick porcelain, etc.

Make sure the hole is the correct size as well as the diameter. Been there myself. ;-)

The Norton one is a thinner disc with a wider rim, so should cut quicker and last longer.

Toolstation do a Silverline 110mm blade for =A32.10, similar on Ebay I'd expect.

I wouldn't be suprised if the Titan, Erbaur, and Silverline ones are much the same, but the Norton is in a different league altogether.

Maybe try a cheap one, and if no good get the Norton one?

cheers, Pete.
