Love the incidental music on the videos! I'm not sure how long the blades would last though the ammount of ceramic cutting we do here. I love the expensive version though! Do you know of any stockists in this country or am I going to have to investigate shipping which I imagine would be really pricey?

Do you know of anyone that manufactures a power nipper? I use hand nipper for cutting inticate shapes out of ceramic tiles, but this has to be done intermittently as the strain on the hand is pretty nasty after spending a day doing this... and something more heavy duty than those available in the US for thin mosaic tiles would be ideal...

I use a jigsaw with a ceramic cutting blade, great for slate, ceramic, travertine etc.Will not work on stoneware tiles though, ie porcelain and most manufactured floor tiles

I use a Bosch cordless grinder for my fancy shapes. Cuts through any kind of tile with little effort, but is much gentler than a mains grinder so doesn't shatter the tiles or snatch.

my wife was a welder so I've "borrowed" a massive set of compass dividers for measuring my cuts. Spot on every time, especially on walls that are running out of plumb
