Thanks everyone for the advice. Dave, as to why that model, simply because I already own a Makita cordless with batts & charger which, I am assured, will run the little tile cutter, so I'd save nearly a ton on the list price. Also, with tiles getting bigger and bigger - let's face it, soon we'll be tiling a whole bathroom with just four giant tiles! -the design of the one I posted about means not having to worry about tile size. Further, I've been disappointed with big hire machines (although I suspect maybe the hire people were just milking the blades for the last mm of cut); they tend to flood the whole area and most of them would cripple me if I tried to lift them in and out the van. The DeWalt model looks promising but it's about £700 (the amount of tiling jobs I do I could never justify it, and I've no idea if it's even any good) and, finally, the little table saws I've tried were pants, especially the plasplugs model. That little Makita looked like the answer to my prayers but it seems you guys disagree. CJ, TilingLogistics, is there any particular make/model you'd recommend? Tiler Burden and Whitebeam, thanks for responding. Grateful for all replies.
Regards all, Simon.
