Hi everyone
I am "doing the bathroom" myself to save a bit of cash. I have a plasplugs electric wet cutter about 10 years old with a disc blade about 75mm across. I thought it was fantastic when I last used it compared to rubbishy old £3:50 plastic manual cutters; bit noisy and messy - but L shaped cuts wow!!
I need a new blade for this new project and the shops these days all seem to sell machines with bigger disc blades 100mm +.
I guess I could get a replacement from Plasplugs £8 or so but I wondered if a bigger bladed machine is worth getting while I have my credit card out?? Topps do one for about £35 or if a fabulous one was on offer I might stretch a little bit more I suppose
There is only about 4msq of floor tiling (450mm Porcelain), but about 12msq of wall tiling (bog standard ceramic wall tiles 200 x 300mm)
Would it be better to invest in a decent but small manual slide type cutter for all the straight cuts required for the wall tiles, and then do the tiddly amount of floor tiles with my Noddy electric, or should I go for a newer more beefy electric type to tackle the whole job?
I already know the answer really - it all depends:lol: but any thoughts on the two types compared would be very useful and also the blade size issue.
Thanks for any help
