Rubi Wet cutters

[Bolter]

Vitrex - QEP Pro-750 Wet Saw from Trade Tiler.

I had this, stuck a marcist blade on it, and it was working great, although you get alot wetter than using a plasplugs. But, had a job recently where I was using porcelain. The blade was eating the porcelain, but the last cut I tried to do, the blade stopped. I pulled the tile off and the blade was at an angle. The motor had got so hot it melted the plastic casing around it, and the blade had dropped and cut a large groove in the bed of the cutter. Blade was actually still fine 😀

For ceramic tiling, this thing is great. You'll have no probs, although you will be slightly more moist 🙂

Im currently using my old battered plasplugs, which is still going, even though it should be in a skip. And currently saving for a Rubi ND200. Used one and it was a pleasure to use. Can see it saving me time and money.

the ND180 can be a bit short on power when tackling bigger tougher tiles (porcs, granite, marble) the budget one is not really budget when you stack it next to all the other cheapo cutters the other nd180 is a proper machine but i would go with the ND200 and put a marcrist wheel on it also buy a couple of the trays to sit it in and it will stop a lot of water going all over the show!
i have a vitrex right now as i sold my nd200 when i emigrated to the states now i am back and the new price for the rubi stuff is getting a bit silly so i will wait and buy a dewalt!
