thanks for the video. It must have been painfully boring and repetitive cutting all them holes. applaud the effort to make it entertaining along with informative, it will without doubt save a lot of people money and time selecting the right budget cutter. cheers again

Evening all....well after getting a little tipsy.......and then hitting the computer hard I have managed to get our video together.......

Okay I have been organising a wet saw test ,as there was some talk about the Vitrex Brutus wet saw and the Dewalt D2400,I have contacted Sigma uk who will be bringing their Sigma 9m1 on the day of the test and i think we will need a Rubi saw in the 400-800 pound price bracket probably going to go with the Rubi Dw250 diamante unless anyone else has any other suggestions,Vitrex have confirmed they will provide their Brutus saw ,i will use my own Dewalt , Sigma will bring their Machine ,I just need to source the Rubi saw

 

[Sigma UK]

Come on Gary at Rubi. I know you got one in that posh new van your driving around.

 

[Tony73]

great news . what cuts are you going to test? mitre, socket cut outs , or just different material tiles? (pocelain, marble etc)

LOL . noticed the new Rubi crew vans :lol:

 

[Spud]

I was thinking, build quality, ease of set up, weight, accuracy of straight cuts ,accuracy and quality of mitres ,ease of changing a blade,speed at cutting through several different materials but I am open to suggestions to be honest

 

[Dan]

I've sticky'd the thread.

 

[Tony73]

yeh sounds great. Maby amount of water on the floor? deffo socket cut out, and mitre cuts?

 

[Andy Allen]

why not ask rubi to loan a nd200 or nd300, would be nice to see how a bench saw measures up to a bridge saw, and what advantages or disadvantages there are between the two...

 

[Peter]

Sigma will be a few hundred watts less than the others so something else to take into consideration.

What is the retail price of the Sigma? Wingn...

 

[Dan]

This thread would get a lot more traffic to it if the tests were in threads of their own, and perhaps places in the reviews forum for tiling tools maybe?

Would that be more suitable for you?

 

[Spud]

go for it Dan, can we keep this thread for suggestions on the up coming tests and put the results in their own threads that would work well
