CUTTING PIXL PORCELAIN TILE
Wet saws are generally used when cutting tile. PIXL uses continuous rim diamond tip blades
designed to cut porcelain tile and glass.
These blades have a softer rim that exposes a fresh diamond cutting edge when used on hard
dense porcelain; also the diamonds are smaller and closer together providing a smoother cut
and less chipping.
Best results have been when minimum but firm pressure is applied while pushing the tiles
through.
Example:
• Felker TM-5 or the new Narrow-width TM-7
• MK-415 Super High Rim or the narrow MK-225 “Hot Dog”
• Rubi CPC 250 10”
If tiles crack or break during the cutting process, several factors could be the cause:
• Blade is old or worn out, bent or warped
• If the cutting head bearings are worn or loose, vibration can occur resulting in breakage.
• In some cases, dressing the blade with a dressing stone may prove helpful.
