The way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toppstiles.co.uk\/floor-tiles\/porcelain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>porcelain tiles<\/strong><\/a> are made\u2014specifically how the pattern is printed on top\u2014makes <strong>the surface prone to chipping<\/strong> at the edges when cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the best tools and methods, some minor chipping is inevitable. However, with the right approach, <strong>you can reduce chipping significantly<\/strong> and make any imperfections easy to conceal or polish out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You Using the Right Blade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using the correct blade is essential<\/strong>. The wrong blade can damage the tile, burn out prematurely, or deliver poor results. It\u2019s worth the few extra minutes it takes to swap it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>RUBI<\/strong>, we colour-code our blades for different materials. Red blades are made for porcelain\u2014but <strong>not all red blades are created equal<\/strong>. Make sure the packaging specifies it\u2019s designed for cutting <strong>20mm thick<\/strong> porcelain. These blades can handle thicker materials in one pass, saving time and reducing chipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Tip 1: All red RUBI blades are for porcelain, but not all are suitable for 20mm tiles.

Chipping can still occur due to user error, so let\u2019s run through the steps to get a clean cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, make sure your <strong>blade is installed correctly<\/strong>. All RUBI blades have an etched arrow\u2014this should <strong>match the direction of your machine\u2019s rotation<\/strong>. If reversed, the blade spins the wrong way, resulting in excessive chipping and faster wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, control your <strong>cutting speed<\/strong>. Trying to rush through a 60x60cm tile in 10\u201320 seconds might feel efficient, but it forces the blade through the material instead of letting it do its job. This strains your motor and increases the risk of chipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our machines are designed to cut about <strong>1cm per second<\/strong>. So that same 60&#215;60 tile should take <strong>at least a minute<\/strong> to cut through. A simple trick to slow down: <strong>use just one or two fingers<\/strong> to guide the motor head. It naturally paces your cut and allows the diamond band to do its job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Tip 4: Let the blade do the work\u2014don\u2019t force it. Slow and steady wins the race.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Touches Matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the cleanest cut can leave sharp or slightly chipped edges. That\u2019s where <strong>polishing pads<\/strong> come in. They not only smooth sharp edges but also reduce visible chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manual polishing pads<\/strong> \u2013 Great for beginners and those doing occasional cuts. Simple and effective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grinder polishing pads<\/strong> \u2013 Ideal for pros. Faster results, but be careful\u2014not to overdo it. A light touch is all you need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Tip 5: Use polishing pads. They&#8217;re essential for a professional finish.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Tips to Cut 20mm Porcelain Without Chipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use the right blade<\/strong> \u2013 Not all red RUBI blades are made for 20mm tiles.
