Getting wet from the wet cutter.

[FreeD]

Any1 else have this problem? Ive got a Norton TT 200EM, its a great cutter, but i'm always getting soaked by it, even though i only put enough water in to keep the blade wet...the spray still gets me and soaks me most days i walk round all day with a wet t-shirt! Do u guys wear macs or something when using wet cutters?

or is there a different system out there...where the water doesn't spray at you but the blade is still water cooled?

thanks

Fasten a slice of sponge under the deck up against the wheel and that will stop the water coming up.

ok and it won't effect the cooling of blade?

I thought a norton was a motorbike!
I like the idea about the sponge.
The de walt d24000 sprays away from you.
For many years the Rubi wet cutter of our choice covered me in black slate, red terracotta and now white travertine spray. Our solution apart from a rain poncho is to cut a hole in rubble bag, split the sides and stick my head in. Technical its not but it works! John.

PJC what you mean pulling? pulling the tile into the blade, standing to the rear of the cutter?

put a sponge on the tile as you cut to block the spray , works a charm...
