1200 bridge cutter

[CCTiling]

Hi all,
Got a job coming up where the customer as got 1200x150 and 900x150 wood effect porcelain.
The only bridge cutter I have would cut the 900 but not the 1200. I have a dewalt handheld but not sure if this would work very well due to the width of the tiles and not be able to support them very well while cutting. My question is does anyone know if I can hire a 1200 bridge cutter as I don't want to spend £1100 on one as that would be all the profit gone in the job?
Thanks Ross

If I was u id just use a grinder as there wont be a huge amount of cuts of the full length. Saves money

Thanks smltiling. Pretty much the same issue as the dewalt handheld problem with supporting tile when it's being cut. Not sure that dry cutting would leave a nice neat chip free finish once cut either

honest answer is I don't know, sorry. Caught glimpse of it on their first quarter special deals today online. When they had the TC180 on offer it was over £150 lower than anybody, I know because I rang everyone I could find online and tried to price match but no one could get anywhere near it. But I would guess not because that saw is normally around a grand so it stil makes it really cheap.

 

[CCTiling]

Wow that's a good offer! Just asked the guy about the hire on eBay and it's £125 per week and £15 per mm of blade wear for porcelain

 

[CCTiling]

Yeah 3-fall, the cheapest I saw it was £1050. I've put it on my amazon wish list so hoping someone will buy it for my birthday next month!! Haha I can always dream!!

Sigma 3ek and QEP750 wet saw and you will have change from £600. No need for a bridge saw for these IMO.

 

[John Benton]

My supplier STS hire a Kaufmann 1250 manual cutter for about £30 a day or £80 for the week.

I've had it a couple of times for large format and it sails through porcelain

I've been cutting similar the past month and my Sigma 3 ek and a grinder with a Montolit pro gres blade , will leave you good clean cuts! Plus it will cost you half that of a bridge saw!
