Further to our Tiling antics, things are going really well and we are well pleased with the results. However, we are struggling to successfully cut these very large tiles.

They are 600x300mm Ceramic Tiles. We have a Simple Tile Scribe, which we have tried to use unsuccessfully. We have a Manual Wotsit, where you operate a handle to scribe the tile, then break it. Again unsuccessfully. We also have a Plasplugs Compact Plus Water Cooler Cutter. I have always got on really well with this, but not this time.

The tiles are too big to be able to make use of the Guide Bar, so we have to cut Freehand. This means that you either get wet because you can't use the Guard or use the Guard and cut blind.

We also find that when we get to the very end of the tile, it is breaking the corner off.

We have looked at bigger Water Cooler cutters, in the hope that we will be able to use the Guide Bar. We hope that this will get rid of all the problems, but aren't sure if a larger Water Cooler cutter is necessarily the answer.

So, those that do it professionally, what would you recommend? I have seen several devices, some up to £750 in price. Obviously we can't spend that kind of money, but here's a couple of examples......

This has a larger surface than our current one......

Or a hardcore manual job like this......



Any other suggestions/tips?

Or I might be forced to put up some photo's of me tiling in a Leather Thong.
