Kev I know a tiler selling a nearly new Raimondi Zoe 105 brand new condition with 3 new diamond blades wants £1400 for it I looked at it just before xmas but I want a Zoe 130 so I didnt buy it but it is worth the money if you want a 105

Hi Gary.

That is a great deal for a Zoe 105.

The one at £1765 i earlier mentioned had been reduced from £1962 with only one blade.

The main concern for me with the Zoe is the weight-getting it upstairs,out of the van,etc on my own.

Looking through the range the Pikus 75 at £1344 may fit the bill for what i need and the work coming up but then the Pikus 85 has been reduced 10% to £1328.

No doubting Raimondi's quality

the raimondi saws are job site saws Kev which really mean you set them up at the beginning of a job in your cutting room and leave them there for the duration of the job, transporting them on a daily basis would be in practical unless you had a apprentice with you to help you loading and cleaning them every day ,for every day use you may find the the dewalts and sigmas are the better option ,
recently I have just been using a rubi nd 200 for ease of use and speed of setting up and I havnet been doing too much stone work that needs a big size saw but will be doing a large size stone job next year

Thanks for your thoughts Gary.

I have some large jobs for me coming up in 2013.

One is a 600x600x20 marble floor/double wetroom/bathroom possibly upto 150m2.

A wetroom with a boxed in hexagonal shaped bath in stone.

Also 2 130 plus m2 porcelain floors. (i have found that my tx700n has struggled twice with porcelain this year and have had to treat the porcelain like nat stone).

Will able to leave a cutter up from day one on these.

Espensive intially but over time worth every penny not to have any niggling dobts or cutting issues and knowing the quality is not comprimised in any way.

Also we never know what tomorrow will bring.

Time to mull everything over the new year.
