Thanks for that but i dont need it at present !
But i need to know where i will be able to go and get one at an hours notice, that price on e-bay is ridiculous ive never paid more than £79.99

Yup - agree - That price is shocking. It's obviously old stock.
The Versatile / Vitrex one is the replacement one B&Q stock - The motor is now 750w.

Cheers ill have to check it out

Its £130 in Screwfix & £70 in B&Q's sale !!

Got one of them out of B&Q for £70 a few weeks ago. Hard to beat for the price. Best buying soon though, as I think B&Q are replacing all the Vitrex wetsaws with something else that looks like a much cheaper effort.

Theres a make called "QEP" which seems to be B&Q's own brand - (not 100% sure.)
The replacement 180mm blade is a QEP one & is the same as the one that came with the Versatile cutter.
I dont think the blade is very good. - (£18)
Is it worthwhile spending £42 on a Macrist one ???? - Are they worth the exta money ? - anyone ?
QEP also do a "Turbo cut" one which is the same grooves / shape as the macrist one.

Was recently enquiring about a Macrist blade and I think the answer was that the Sankyo is a better all round blade (for cheaper).

The cheap "Turbocut" blades are a waste of money, don't do anything better than a standard cheap blade.

I bought a sankyo blade for briccolina, found it a good little blade

Re: New wet cutter ?

Hi guys - 1st timer on this forum.....

I've got a Plasplugs Contractor Plus - Had it now for 5 years and its been great. However, 120,000 miles on & I reckon it will fail its next MOT.
its starting to cut squint - so i am just drawing a line right across the tile & eyeballing the cut / lining up with the blade.
and
its overheatd & cut out on me a few times - need to leave it for 20 mins to cool down.
anyway - what should I replace it with ?
I've tried the cutters with the external water trough & i dont like them - they spill a lot of water.
So, ideally, one with an internal water trough
Most pro tilers knock the Plasplugs cutters - but i really like(d) mine.
I would buy another one in a minute, but as you all know, Plasplugs have gone down the swannie.

Dont want to spend any more than £150 if I need to

Any thoughts?

David
