Best 1200mm+ wet cutter for stone

Just wishful thinking.

sorry, only just seen this thread so may be too late.
i was looking for a replacement saw about six months ago.
i have previously had the alu manta 85 and 120
and prior to that the norton cs100 clipper.
norton was good for 15 years every day use but heavy to lug around.
alu mantu nice and light but after 4-5 years the aluminium frame starts to buckle and legs sherar off.
i spent alot of time looking around and bought the battipav prime 120s from trimline and all of us are really happy with it.
i got it because it was a robust machine that trimline use for hiring out as the least problematic
and also because it is very simple with not much to go wrong .
the raimondi zoe looks the biz but overcomplicated for me.
the king of all is undoubtedly the ENGLISH made bam 1320 and worth the extra money for the quality but more difficult to move around. other than the bam the karl dahm made cutter is only one to compare.

Hi Jonny
Yeah I had a look at the Bam but didnt feel it was a site machine. Lovely machine tho
As you say the Raimondi looked too fidley and I knew something would break off on it in the back of the van.
Didnt really look in to the Battipav or the Karl Dahm as to be honest I'd pretty much made my mind up on the Rubi by then. We have loads of Rubi tools already so like how well they are made and trust the brand. For me it just seemed the logical machine to get. Being able to go to Rubi and play with the machine before buying helped aswell.
Will keep everyone updated on how it performs
