Which wet cutter is best.

[hillhead]

I met the 10m face to face. Awesome.

Derek told me they have a price drop on too, £1300 all in !!!!! lethal good price for a do it all machine.
I have 900x600x200 marble to cut next week with 600x600 and 400x600 etc and you'll which saw i'll be using,lol.

Thanks guys for the replies.
Before I go ahead with the Dewalt does anybody know where I will get the best from?
Knowing my luck someone some where will have a special offer on and I will be paying RRP +20%

Thanks

My Sigma 10M is an all round cracker and is 6byear old now, bearing might need changing now as a slight wobble on blade noticeable but that's it and Derek has bearing on the way for me.
It'd be good to see how the 9p goes.
I'm testing a Tyrolit at the minute too and it's like a Dewalt.

my 10m must be over 12 years old now and still going ok.
got the 9m as well and about same age .
trouble is now i tend to use the bigger dual overhead rail saws alimanta 85 and 120 most of the time .
and they are these aluminium saws are easier to use for large format stone. they certainly are not as well made as the sigma 9m and 10m though.

I know a few guys who use overhead rail cutter and nothing else now, a grinder works well to compliment these.
I seen is cutting 20mm marble slabs 2.3mx1.3m on a Raimondi rail cutter, awesome performance.

Rubi Rep came out today, fitted a new blade and its cutting straight again.
Seems as if the cpc 250 red porcelain blade is of a poor quality and will only do 20-30 cuts before failing.
What porcelain wet blades 250mm is everyone using and how long are they lasting?

I use a Montolit DNA blade, still good and cuts brilliant.

I've replied to this topic many times on various posts, I even I get fed up with myself, so sure you do.
I listened to people and bought a Monolit to replace the original DW2400 blade and it was poor. First concern was the cut was not as clean. This was surprising as the build of the blade looked great.
Its performance got worse too quickly and was relegated to ceramics which it could cope with easier, but eventually put to rest.

I bought a new DW replacement and made direct comparisons and the DW came out way better. I have stuck with the DW blades and I can vouch they cut better, cleaner and last longer without any doubts.
I might add the Monolit was way over priced too.
I should add I cut hard porcelain mostly, so not a bad test for cutting requirements.
I reported the findings to the recommended supplier who was decent enough, but went quiet after explaining my results.
I recommend shopping around for the DW at £50 and save yourself a bunch of money. You will not get a better cleaner cut than the DW.
