Quick one for those with this machine, how messy is it?

I mainly cut using a grinder outside, but hand on heart I'm getting bored with going up and down stairs umpteen times on some jobs. Want to add a reliable all round wet machine, but can't be doing with pools of water everywhere :closedumbrella::( :D
A good machine sold mine a few years back :(:)

They don't throw water about really but it will run off the edges of large tiles and especially if mitering.
One big advantage is you can pretty accurately rip down 1600 planks easily even though the carriage will stop before halfway, you just keep sliding along.
For what you're describing I would suggest it's perfect.
I do a lot of similar properties where I have room to work and to a degree, make a bit of mess.
I just tend to use my grinder and large sigma rail cutters for 95% of everything and just occasionally a wet saw. But that's just the pattern I've got into I suppose.

Plus, if you decide it's not really for you, the resale value is brilliant and you'll sell it easily.

That's a great answer, but interestingly throws up another thing I was looking at, maybe getting a good rail saw instead, but there seems to be limitations on that. Dust/water being one and I'm not convinced about the mitring results
He means a sigma rail cutter like this

All wet saws create spray - some more than others and wet rail saws are probably the messiest of them all but they have advantages too.
