Rotozip tile cutter

[RichieRich]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone out there has used or owns a Rotozip tile cutter and if so are they any good? They look pretty cool and look like they do a good job but I just dont want to go and spend x amount if they aren't all that. If anyone could let me know if there worth getting or not then that'd be great. Thanks.
Rich.

I have had one for a few years now.. love it.. use it quite a bit on some Stone jobs etc..

Have a looksie at this>>> http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-tool-reviews/15992-review-rotozip-bosch.html

Wicked mate thanks. It's doesn't have any water with it does it? By this I mean its a dry cutter. Do the bits wear down quicker than a wet cutting hole set or not?

Great bit of kit... So good in fact, I have two....

Yes it is dry... the thinner ceramic bit is poo.. i use the Xbit porcelain cutter for shaping and the hole cutters last ages and ages... even on porcs.

As Dave, I use mine quite a lot on stone, not so hot on porcelain, but good for ceramics

Brilliant guys thanks. Really appreciate your opinions. Also one last thing, what about a Dewalt hand held wet cutting saw? Any good? Would your recommend getting one aswell as the Rotozip? I have a big Rubi wet cutter but its too big to carry around all the time so i've been looking at the Dewalt one to keep on the van.

I have gone back to using my grinder with the new rubi blade for most jobs it gives a nice cut and it is fast and dry *

Why did I click on this thread!..................I want one of those now! Will hopefully see one at a trade show. My last tool was the Exakt DC270. Got it at the Home show for £60.

As an alternative we offer Porsadrill for drilling holes into tiles.

Always worth considering the options.
