It could be the motor has packed up in it. It could also be the cable perhaps, where it enters into the machine.

I wouldn't get messing with either parts unless you know what you're doing as both involve taking it apart.

Nip to HSS Hire or somewhere like that and hire one maybe? They often do a repair service too but it could be just as costly as hiring another and / or buying a new plasplugs dww406us.

Just my view, wait for the lads to respond they might think of something else too.

plug something you know works, lamp, in to the socket just to make sure its not your house power thats not getting through first!!

It might have just overheated. Wait an hour for it to cool down and try again

You could be lucky if you stated where you are in the country, you never know one of the lads may have a spare cutter they would lend you.

I would start at the switch if i knew the socket had power. I used to use one of these few years back. Had the connections behind the switch become dry and loose a few times. If you know one end of a soldering iron from the other it's easily fixed. Plasplug also sell spares on their website.

If its a case of one tile you have to cut and you don't use your cutter after that you can take your marked tile to topps tiles and pay for them to cut it. I can't give you a exact price but it's roughly a couple of pound per tile.

Are Topps still doing that because the two stores down here in Peterborough aren't doing a cutting service anymore.

I know when I tried to lend a tile cutter some time ago they didn't do that any more. So I doubt they'll use the new tile cutters to cut tiles for you, so it depends on whether they still have the old ones.

It was Peterborough where I first see it funny enough. The Fengate store used to do it but they must on stopped doing it.
