so i hold my hand up swe and say you were right!! i sold my ti-66s for 180 and broke even and got a great discount on the monti £195!! just need to buy a mini moni now??
what i will say is, the rubi wet cutters are excellent. i would have the dw200n/250n over the dewalt all day long. | Have you tried the Montolit Bridge cutter?

The montolit bridge cutters are made by Raimondi, you would be better looking at their new aluminium range they are the muts nuts, the Zoe and the Picus. The Brooklin is a direct drive spend the money once and get a belt drive you will not regret it and it will do you for life. Again these are the best on the market imo. tiler
