    Clarke 450w Electric Tile Cutter ETC6

    fence? You mean the fixed guide when you slide the tile along to keep a straight line? I am cutting off 600mm in length don't forget. So running the tile along the whole 600mm. The width is 300mm. So I am cutting off just 5mm from the whole 600mm.

    Help with choice of Porcelain tile cutter?
