New wet cutter

[Sanke]

Hi all
I am currently using a Plasplugs tile saw to cut through porcelain tiles. Unfortunately it is struggling
Whatt would you all recommend, change the blade for good quality blade or upgrade saw & blade ? Any suggestions on blade / cutter greatly appreciated
Thanks

Have you got a budget in mind for a new saw?

Hi Brian
Not really thought of budget. I do odd bits of tiling butvwoudclike to do more as my skills improve

The two saws I have owned and used are the dewalt d24000 and the vitrex VITREX 900 Versatile Bridge Diamond Tile Cutter/Saw,450 | eBay

If you don't tile much or are just starting out, the dewalt is quite an expensive option, the vitrex is a great cutter for the money. Another option is to have a peek on eBay, loads of good second hand deals on all brands of cutters if you spend a bit of time looking.

I find all porcelain cuts fine on a dry Rubi with a £5 wheel and a hammer.

Have a look at The Tile Tools Store an online company cheap Rubi supplier very helpfull and great deals

I had the nd200 for quite a few years and found it cuts what I need but the blade makes a big difference....

For porcelain i would say a Sigma. More powerful than a Rubi and cheaper.

iv notices trade point at bnq have got a vitrex cutter for 38 quid. dont sound like a lot of money to me, and at that price you can afford to buy a spare wheel. oh and dont force you tile through blade, let cutter do work should be fine. good luck
