Vitrex Big Clinker

[doit4u]

I undertake all sorts of DIY/Handyman work but seem to be increasingly asked to do tiling.

I currently have a small Vitrex 30cm dry cutter, an old Challenge (Argos) wet cutter and about a year ago I bought a Plasplugs Master Tiler {with a Macrist blade as per forum recommendations}. I have managed with these up to now including doing a kitchen/diner, utility and corridor floor with 60cm square tiles.

I am thinking of getting a large 60cm+ dry cutter. Having looked in the forum the majority recommend Rubi with some favouring Sigma, both of these are pretty pricey.

Has anybody an experience of the Vitrex Big Clinker 610mm cutter, which is available at under £100 compared with £150+ for the cheapest Rubi of a similar size?

I have had a look at the Vitrex web site but it doesn't give much info.

I want to sort this by the end of the month as I am doing a complete makeover of a kitchen and utility in June for my most critical customer - the wife {fair play she has only been waiting about 5 years} and it would be a good test/practice with a new cutter.

Sorry guys being a bit dim today after making the post found the related themes at the bottom of the page. These were useful but would still welcome any other views.

i have one myself, not done any jobs with it yet but plenty of cuts, cuts through porcelain no probs, nice and cleanly, one problem tho is that you have to get right down level with the cutter to see the cutting wheel to align it up... i dont mind too much at the moment as im just starting out but ill be getting a different cutter at a later stage as this will no doubt get on my nerves after a while
