650Watt Electric Wet Saw - Tile Advice

Anyone got one of these from Topps Tiles? I'm looking for a decent wet saw and saw this with a sliding bed...If you have one what do you think of it, good, bad or just a waste of money...

650Watt Electric Wet Saw

Not a lot of power..

 

[Hawkofeagles]

What sort of power should I be looking for then Dave?

 

[DHTiling]

I would say over a 1000 watts.. cutting thick hard tiles on a low power will cause stress and slow cutting.

I bought one a couple of years ago, couldn't get it to cut straight so i took it back

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Yeah see what you mean Dave although I'd like one of these but they are not available here in the UK....Doh!!!!

Whats your budget..?

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Budget...umm well not alot as I have just purchased the TX700. I do have a wet saw but I always keep an eye on new cutters. What do you guys use as wet cutters, I know alot of ppl use the Rubi ND. ?

did the Rubi DW 200N (bridge cutter) replace the DW200LP? (the one that I've got)

Dont really know, but the guys at topps spent over 2 hours trying to put it right

Rubi have brought out a new model.. it is called the DX350 range now.. aluminium body and light weight
