ok guys i am looking at buying a new large format cutter.

i have always been a rubi guy but have been hearing a lot about monolit and several other cutters. i am looking for something that will cut at least 700mm tiles and eat porcelain.am also looking at it as an investment so will pay for something that will last.

what would you buy if you had the option?as much info as poss on why please, cause i want to make sure i am not blinkered(also if it's an unusual one where to buy it from)

in advance thanks

Monty for me Andy. Cuts porcelain no problem, very well made and easy to use. Good for cutting on the 45 or any other angle. Only need 1 wheel size and you can cut mosaics too because of the moving breaker. Check out the Masterpiuma 93.

ive got the monty 75 and its a great machine , sigmas are good too... phone david at tradetiler for the monty, for sigma phone diatech in perth , scotland...

Andy!!..
