has anyone got the Makita 4191 wet cutter? It looks small and compact but again, there's not too much written about this either because it looks new to market (might be wrong on this one).

Thanks DHceramics ... have you used one? Are they any good???

I used one about 10 yrs back.. i cut a 8x8 ceramic and it cut it ok...but the new model is more powerful and better batteries....would be a handy tool to have but wouldn't replace a flatbed wet saw though....

Still wondering if any of you experienced guys have actually bought a sierra electrica tile saw from Topps and got anything positive to say i.e. recommend it to me as a novice as I have my 1st job this week tiling a bathroom floor to ceiling with 635mm x 325mm tiles.

Let me know guys so I can make up my mind whether or not to shoot over to Preston to have a look at Gaz's model ...
