Mcallister Tile Saw

[area tiling]

So I bought a macallister 750 watt wet saw yesterday , and tried it out today on porcelain with the marcrist 180 blade, to be honest it's pretty impressive we tool for the money! Good extendable work table and integreal water tray!

How much did you pay for that mate.....the cutter that is.

Thought I'd look it up - http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/tiles/...50L-Blue-Yellow-180mm-10568064?skuId=11058984

Reviews don't seem to be that great on it. Inaccurate cutting due to blade thickness. Guess that's down to the laser not being set right.

To be honest the laser is just a gimmic which runs on batteries if you want to use it, personally a good laser would set you back more than the cutter so it ain't worth using! As for the blade it's about 3mm thick am sure it would be good enough for ceramics , that's why I fitted the marcrist to it super job!
