#2 | | Tilers Forums Arms Member | Re: which wet cutter??????????? | | i personally use a kinzo cutter,only because it was the only one i could afford at the time.it has served me incredibly well and has cut thousands of meters of tile, granted most being trav.but i am still on the first blade!!and replacement blades are hard to get, but found a really helpfull shop where they only charged me a couple of quid.
also have a couple of spare cutters only cheap ones as the kinzo only cost about 150 |

| Re: which wet cutter??????????? | | I have the DU200L and its the mutts nutts, however I have only ever owned 1 bridge saw so I couldnt really compare. I think the DW250 is a bit better. | | |

| Re: which wet cutter??????????? | | Well, i was told you can fit a 900 tile on the bed, then you plunge cut into the middle of the tile then cut as normal to the edge. Turn tile round carefully, and repeat. Not tried it yet, sounds ok  | | |

No the 200 is nothing to do with the size of tile. I have the DU200 and it cutts up to 700mm  | | |
