Wet cutter given up the ghost

[White Room]

A broccilino is a good little cutter for small stuff, I got a new blade from Dave at trade tiler which is better than the one you get with the cutter IMO

Only mitres 50cm

As long as you can hold it straight it will cut unlimited length..

Re: Wet cutter

Firstly, hi from an oldie!

Now to the business in hand - Having "retired", I now find myself more busy than ever! Still, it stops the mind wandering and the hand from shaking, I suppose :8:

I have been fitting a new marble floor at home - 85m2 of it! This prompted a search for a cheap-ish radial cutter as that is a lot of marble to cut by hand. Of course, I could have got a Montolit - but at €1000 or so, my Italian pension isn't THAT good!

Looking around I found (and bought) a Chinese-made machine that is imported into Europe by a French company, . It cost me €300, although I then bought a Montolit DNA blade as I hate chips!

Having now cut all the marble (25mm) and laid it, I am now using the saw for a ceramic job, with diagonal cuts in 45x45 tiles. The saw has worked faultlessly, although I had to tidy up a couple of Chinese "features" that neither worked nor were needed! :smilewinkgrin:

All in all, an excellent saw for not a great deal of cash. Of course, I have no idea at all if you can get one in the UK (sorry), but a call to Far would get you an answer, I'm sure!

PS - chuck away the packaging as quick as you can, unless you like the strange smell that Chinese packing materials always seem to have!

Ciao!

Well my el cheapo b&q wet cutter has evetually died. Time for a new one but WHICH ONE>

Looked at the Rubi ND200 but its pretty expensive considering the size of tiles it can cut .

Anyone got any alternatives or is the rubi one the best?

Sorry I haven't read all the thread, but did you manage to get a replacement?
