hi simon....please sign up..gets you more answers that way..plus it's better to know who we are talking to....( without you saying so)....
As for cutter then i think the makita would be good for occasional cuts but i don't think it will have the power to cut large tiles......you can get a good quality wetcutter for about £200 ish maybe a lot lower...put a decent quality porcelain blade in and it will last you years......
good luck and let us know which way you go....
