Hi again
I'm trying to figure out which wet saw to buy within my budget for £100-£150.
I've got my tiling course booked for two weeks time. Could only afford to do a short course, so trying to give myself a headstart on things.
I already have a job lined up straight after my course- my mum's bathroom hopefully in travertine. Been reading the forums about substarte prep, weight and addy's/grouts, etc. and am getting a good grasp thanks to you guys . I know sounds a bit deep end having a go with the travertine, but its my mum's so if it takes me a while, and a few mistakes, its fine, it'll be good practice.
Few questions, if i may:
1) Any ideas for a decent enough wet saw that'll cut trav efficiently? Can only part with £100-£150 for this. I know thats not going to buy anythin special, but as long as it does for 6-12 months thats fine.
2) Whats the best method/tool for cutting travetine in 'free shapes' such as round toilet, etc. or is it best to remove and install toilet on top? Again budget suggestions would be great.
3) Will I need any other tools, apart from the usual fare, for the trav?
Thanks again everyone, appreciate the advice, and promise to 'put in' as i get more clued up on tiling. Will also be giving course feedback, and let you all know how things go with the trav, etc
:8:Cheers
