My local Topps has just got one of these in Vitrex Brutus Pro 1100W Electric Tile Saw (230V) - Machine Mart I thought Dewalt had a patent on the sliding bed???

Tell Montolit that !

 

[hillhead]

My sigma slides too .

 

[Gazzer]

Quite a few do.

 

[Ian]

Not a very worthwhile patent then!

Loads of wetsaws have sliding beds.. from dewalts to felkers..

 

[Ian]

Dewalt seem to make quite a big deal out of the fact that their bed is unique in the write up for the d24000.

 

[DHTiling]

Their rail system might be..? but deffo not on the sliding bed..

 

[Ian]

I'd never noticed all the other cutters with a similar design until I started looking for a new one. Had a look at the Brutus and it looks well made but the sliding bed didn't slide very well, so yeah, maybe its the rails that have the patent.

I was having a nosey at one of these last week when the young lad in told me it could run off 240 and 110v. I tried to put him straight but he was having none of it, bless!

[White Room]

Thats dangerous advise...sack him.

I should have grabbed my transformer out of the van and asked him to show me

Just had a trade leaflet through the door from Topps, these are down to £400 now. Don't know if they are any good and don't want one but it seems quite a decent price to me?

 

[Ian]

My Topps have still got the same one in stock from when this thread started! £400 is about 1/3 off, they must be struggling to shift them.

Yeah you plug a 110 into 240 and it works at twice the speed! But not for long...
