Does it kick out much spray Joe.. as in you get wet from frontal spray from the blade..?

Looks like a great piece of kit and i like the swing up guard for wider cutting capability..

I have that cutter Dave, bought it about 8 plus years ago. They are great machines and cut anything with ease. The swing up arm is good but a wet face is a definate when you have to lift it. The blades last for ever but are expensive, £80.

 

[DHTiling]

So no wet shirt as long as the guard is down..?

 

[diamondtiling]

No there is no spray at all Dave.

 

[DHTiling]

Deffo looks like a nice saw..

fair play to the italians, they make the best!!

 

[Aston]

dave, dave , dave whyyyyy did you post up that!!!!! i'm starting to look for money that might have fell down the back of the suite to try and buy one of these now :lol:

plenty of power and accuracy on that saw!!! looks a beast..

is it heavy dom? and what diameter are the blades ?

 

[DHTiling]

Ed, you do not need one, you just want one..

 

[Aston]

the next sentence is best translated in a keith lemon voice....

yeah i know i dont need one but i want one that but thats worse innit, wanna sigma 10m....jiiizzzing

I looked at that vid a while back when i first joined here. From memory its a bit heavier than the DeWalt and would have been my second choice but its too expensive for me

 

[hillhead]

Ok lads mine is a beauty to use too !!
Weight wise its around 65kg i believe, my lad gives me a lift with it all the time(handy).
No wet face at all and even on wider stuff with guard up i tilt my head sideways,lol to avoid the face wash.
I know quite a few who use these saws with no problems at all.
Extremely heavy duty and the 3hp motor works a treat.
The red stand comes free with the 10M usually,mine cost around £1350 i think but it's well paid me back since.
300mm blade from sigma is going to cost me £120+vat this week, a guy told me last week about his costing 100 euro all in !!
Come on Dom,where did you buy at £80 ? or is yours the diatech blade? it's around that price.

 

[Scott]

Wow thats heavier than i thought! Dont fancy luggin that around
