I use drills from 365drills.com, they will do the job no problem.

i also use similar diamond cutters that 365 advertises but am in the process of ordering a rodia fb750w, (im a typical guy, i love new stuff.... i even talk myself into buying things cuz it is a better colour lol) here is a video clip on utube,* http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj7QYp7nVAg * it is with all the cutting heads everything included... wait for it... just over £1800 lol, ok for a simple porcelain tile it isnt any good but in the long run for a professional tiler it is a good thing i think (damn i like new tools SO much)

£1800 !

I will have two.....

Yes ours does exactly the same job (in fact that video might as well be showing our all-in-one solution) but at £49.99 I think we might have a slight price advantage.

Our advantages over this and other expensive rigs are issues of theft - which does happen. Power supply, water jets & feeds, weight of equipment, set up times and also their size ranges are very limited.

We provide every size from 6mm to 125mm. - 37SKUs.

If you ever need a specific size (say for a spotlight) come back to us!

Our sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm 20mm, 22mm, 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 35mm, 38mm, 40mm, 42mm, 45mm, 48mm, 50mm, 53mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, 85mm, 90mm, 95mm, 100mm, 105mm, 110mm, 115mm, 120mm, 125mm.

My Jerry Springer final thought is: There are drilling solutions via expensive rigs and value-for-money kits. There is room in the market for both.

Good post!

oh swe there are better ones than that, i sit there for hours when im bored and watch them, needless to say i have left a few mean comments cuz i cant believe people would post crap like this so other diy'ers will feel confident..... there was one with a aussie (nothing against aussies) using a angle grinder to make a simple straight wet cut. so if you come across my name in the utube dont be shocked with what you read lol

jocky102 · 03-05-2008

lmfao i just found it.... check this guy out, he could have done a better job with a pair of sharp false teeth, rough is a understatement ..... what the f##k is he using as adhesive??? any ideas

lmao,using an angle grinder for a tiny L shape cut......that adhesive is well,put it this way he would need a few tins of that. TO DO THAT JOB

..lol
