Advice on Professional tiling tools - TilersForums.com

[Alphaman]

Hi,

I am new to this forum.

I need some general advice on tools I would require for a tiling job which I would
be having some tilers do for me.

I need a list of equipment for them.
The work involves basically supervising them and would be working on quality Italian tiles 10/20 mm thick!!

The tile sizes range from 400x400 to 250x1500 mm.
I think I would be needing an electric wet saw diamond cutting machine but which one???

Can you just give me a list of the basic equipment I would need to get this job on the road!!

Thanks

If you were having professional tilers to do the work you won’t need any tools?

As above . . .

Agree with the 2 above.
They are not tilers if they haven't got tools , and if they are tilers why are you supervising them .

And why/how are you supervising something you dont know about? (just to round off the last few posts!)

Having the best tools will not make the finished job good.
I have the best pencil, does that mean I'm a good architect?

By there is a lot of negativity here!
I worked in Norway 30 years ago and I went on ‘holiday’ for 3 weeks as I didn’t have a work permit!
The client paid for and shipped all my tools there that I needed and kept them when I flew back.

Let’s get a professional list together because you know how we all love architects!

ok agree,
but it would be better if they were the tilers interested in the work
to say what they want.
or not?
if I understood the question correctly
