    Default Anyone recommend a wheel

    Hello everyone I'm on the verge buying another new wet cutter wheel for my rubi nd 180 I usually use the marcrist wheels but they do tend to chip the tiles which is obviously not good when going round windows. I bought 2 of these last year which isn't bad I suppose as they have seen a lot of act. Can anyone recommend a better one than these for how much and were from thanks for your help

    Montolit DNA. The dogs mate. Think trade tiler do them, they aren't cheap but they wouldn't be because they are fine blades

    Depends eh on what tiles you get to cut over the course of the next year. I'd say they go pretty far though. I use one of the blade sharpening rubbing block thingamajiggy's though which helps. I think that's the technical name anyway.

    I have had my DNA blade in for 2 years and it has seen megga use.

    It still has around 8 mm of meat left on it, these DNA wheels are serious kit.
