Recommended tile cutter / tools

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Get the best you can afford and look after them.
It's cheaper in the medium to long term.
(and makes work more enjoyable)

My recommendations:
Sigma 3c3m will cut everything, inc' mosaics.
A decent grinder (I favour Makita) and a couple of quality blades.
A basic wet saw, vitrex (screwfix) or norton (CTD)
Set of levels (laser level not really essential but nice to have)
Stainless trowels - 6/8/10mm
Bucket trowel and gorilla tubs / BAL mixing buckets
A selection of diamond core drill bits (cheapies off Amazon will do to start)
Safety kit - specs, ear plugs, dust masks, knee pads
A decent DAB radio (essential in my opinion!)
Pencils, chinagraphs, sharpies, and a basic tool set

Thanks Impish, that's just the response I was hoping for. Cheers
 
Morning, I've picked myself up a Rubi TR 600S but am totally confused as to what wet saw to pick up.
I've had a look at Rubi and Vitrex but so many differing reviews its really hard to work out what I need.
Should I go with a wet saw with legs such as the Rubi DU 200 or Vitrex 800?
Or should I go for a Vitrex Pro 750 or Rubi ND 180 as most of my cuts will be with the Rubi ?
All your advice massively appreciated.
Thanks
Jon

What's your budget Jon?
 
Hi Lee,
Just starting out so unsure really, was hoping to spend no more than £300
Thanks
Jon
 
Jon as your just starting out I'd spend that budget on the following wet saw and I'd get myself a good grinder with a decent blade, you'll have change to spare and these tools will cover most scenarios for you.

You may also need a transformer to go with your new 110v tools😉
