Hand Held Cutters

[Tugboattiler]

Anybody got any experience of these cutters.

Got a job coming up with very big limestone.

Was looking at the Rexon CT1150 from screwfix.

Any ideas?

I have seen them but only any good if the motor is strong enough and a suitable blade for the material you are cutting....

Tradetiler sells a better quality make of similar machine..

Makita Power Saw (110v only)

Wet cutting hand held power saw from Makita (can be used dry with suitable blade)

• Water fed to both sides of blade

As every day goes by, tiles seem to be getting even bigger this can be a big problem when it comes to wet cutting. The traditional machines become so heavy and expensive they are not viable. With the use of a straight edge clamped on the tile/slab accurate cuts can easily be achieved.
Accurate free hand cuts can also easily be achived
Highly suited to grout raking by reducing the depth of cut

• Electrical earth leakage breaker
• Blade Diameter: 125mm - Bore: 20 mm
• (we include ring to make standard 22.2mm blades fit)
• Depth of Cut @ 90°: 40mm
• Depth of Cut @ 45°: 26mm
• No Load Speed: 12,000rpm
• Input wattage: 860w
• Net Weight: 2.9kg
• 110v only (because of water)
• 5 M water feed tube, rubber tap fitting

Included - Continuous rim blade rated for concrete - suitable some stone, travertine and marble. However we recommend a suitable tile blade is purchased separately

It's limestone 900mm long, 20mm thick:yikes:

trade tiler is the dogs noblies but i have the rexon cutter and it will cut your 20mm ls no problem, the makita is a much better tool but 3 times the cost.you will be unlikely to use the tool much so think about it before you shell out

Will the rexon cut 900 long

 

[Thespanishtiler]

it will cut as long as the flex cable will reach, its a circular saw for tiles, use the fence or a straight edge clamped to the work piece
