Wet Cutter

[Just Rizzle]

best piece of kit I have is my rubi tc180, light weight, compact use wet or dry as easy to use as a circuler saw

I'm only a part time tiler as I fit kitchens and bathrooms.

I spent months researching the best tile cutter to suit my needs and opted for the dewalt DW2400. When I got it i had to send it back as the side bed attachment which comes with the package was elevated by around 3mm from the main bed. The replacement wasn't as bad but still slightly elevated leading to breakout and the end of cuts. Also the second machine jammed up two thirds of the way through a 600mm cut where I really had to force it through.

I took it to my local tool merchants that fix most brands. The technician in there (Issac Lords of High Wycombe) is a guy who never gives in. He ordered a new side bed which was also out of alignment so he redrilled and adapted the fixing holes so there is absolutely no error out of plane in both directions.

Then he tried to sort out the binding on the sliding bed. After a while he got fed up and took the whole thing apart and rebuilt it, taking 8 hours.

It was a good tool but now it is a dream machine. It glides rather than slides and cuts dead straight. The Dewalt blade is also very good on hard porcelain.

Very low water spray, easy to carry and transport by myself. Not much else to say really.

Very happy bunny and would highly recommend!!

sounds like rubbish to me if you have to have it re built and its new.
you've got it right now but shouldn't dewalt have got it right in the first place

I agree Dewalt should have got it right and they had two chances as I sent the first one back. What's the beef? Just commenting on my personal experience Big Ray
