    you are wanting a wet cutter mate,if its only small jobs then the plasplugs pro or master tiler will do but check out Trade tiler and they will sort you out if you are looking for a rubi.

    A wet Saw is a must for Natural stone, a few things to keep in mind are the

    Motor size- needs to have enough grunt to cut up to 40mm stone

    Portability- needs to be light enough for one person to get on and off the truck

    capacity- what size stone will it be used for

    quality- for precision cuts quality counts and makes work alot more enjoyable

    Flexability- What can the saw do what attachments does it have how easy is it to get spare parts and how easy is it to service and maintain

    Cost- needs to be weighed up a quality saw that is more expensive from the outset will last longer and do the job better and quicker and will pay for itself faster.

    Just a few things to look for when thinking of this important purchase.
