What size cutter will i really need?

[richiep]

Hi guys, Am starting out very soon after doing a course, have been on here non stop for the last 2 months taking in all the info from you professionals. I've come to the conclusion that i will definitely need a good size manual cutter, possibly 2, but what size wet cutter do i really need? How large are the tiles getting that people want in their homes, and what cutter will be a good investment? I don't want to buy a wet cutter and not be able to do jobs so all advice is welcomed, just have no idea what road to go down here.

maybe wait till you've done your course, see what they use and see if you like it

I was looking at the rubi ts 50 for my first tile cutter because i believe it cuts porcelin as well... ? Do you think that would be a good one to start?

Customers are going to be asking you to fit tiles anywhere from 10mm x 10mm upto and beyond 1200mm x 1800mm, but on the whole you need a dry cutter to be able to cut upto 600mm minimum in my opinion.

I think a Husqvarna TC670 is a brilliant dry cutter, lower price than a Rubi but uses Rubi cutting wheels too
