Q: Can it cut porcelain tiles easily?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for hard porcelain (BIa) and extruded stoneware, with high scoring precision for tough materials.
Q: Does it support angled cuts?
A: Yes, it allows fast and accurate angle cuts from 0° to 45° using a rotating square system.
Q: What makes it efficient on job sites?
A: One-handed scoring and breaking, improved visibility of the cutting line, and stable support arms for large tiles.
Q: Is it suitable for large-format tiles?
A: Yes, extended models support large tiles with floating tables and side supports for better stability.
Q: Why choose the TX-MAX series?
A: It combines high cutting power, durability, and precision, making it a reliable choice for professional tilers working with heavy-duty porcelain and large-format tile installations.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean after each session: Remove ceramic dust and glaze from base, rails, and breaker system to keep scoring smooth and precise.
- Do NOT lubricate rails: The double guide system is designed to run dry—oil attracts abrasive dust and reduces accuracy.
- Inspect scoring wheel: Check carbide wheel for wear or chipping; rotate or replace to maintain clean, consistent scoring lines.
- Keep guide rails aligned: Ensure 30 mm steel guides stay straight and firmly fixed for accurate cuts and long-term precision.
- Maintain breaker system: Clean and check the high-pressure (up to 1200 kg) multipoint breaker for smooth, even tile separation.
- Tighten all fasteners: Regularly inspect handle, square guide, and support arms to avoid play during heavy-duty cutting.
- Protect sliding head: Keep aluminum sliders free of debris to preserve smooth one-hand scoring performance.
- Dry storage only: Store in a dry, covered area to prevent corrosion and maintain calibration of cutting components.
