Default I need a new dry cutter

I've been using a Big Clinker for the past year or so, but it's been so well used it is now time to replace.

I cut lots more porcelain than ceramic and upto 600mm.

What's the best of the best out there? I don't mind spending good money on good tools. The Clinker was cheap and I never got round to buying something better.

(Oh, and I'm not a Rubi fan!)

QEP were ready to import the larger more robust clinker from USA when I last spoke to them Mark, ask Dave @ Preston to phone them for you.....Gaz

Is this one?
Looks more "industrial" than the Rubis I'm used to.
If anyone has used one I'd be keen to know what they think.

Hmmmm....

Having looked around, the Tomecanics look very good.
Do you know if anyone has one on here?

Dave, where can you get the TI for £199? On Contractors Direct they are over £300!

I would have gone for a Montolit (my new Montolit wet saw is fantastic) but the breaker puts me off. I like the look of the twin breaker system on the Tomecanic.
