Which Cutter? - Tile Advice

[DAVID PRUSZAK]

Hello all!
I'm sure that this must be one of the most popular threads on here.... I'm plasterer who does a bit of tiling. Not much! Although I'd like to do more... and I'm not sure what cutters to get? Both wet and dry.. Rubi or Sigma for the dry? And where to get them from?? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Dave

Go for a Sigma dry cutter, if you give us in idea of what size you might need then we can tell you the model that'll suit you best.
You'd probably be better off with a 115mm angle grinder with a good blade rather than a wet saw.
You'll be able to get everything you need from Tradetiler.com. Give Dave a call there and mention that your a member of this forum and he'll sort you out with everything you'll need to get you up and running.

Thanks just 250mm tiles at the mo... but considering just getting a 600mm to cover all options.? Are sigma really that good?? I've used Rubi before and always thought they were pretty good... good call about a angle grinder.

I did and changed to sigma few months ago on the word of the majority on here. Wish I'd switched years ago now!

Wow! 250 quid though...

Quality doesn't come cheap.....

250 quid easily lost on one job where you find your rubi won't cut the grade 5 porcelain though.

You'll need that Marty Feldman look to see where your cutting!
