    Just out of curiosity, what do you use for larger jobs?

    Also it's £79.99 inc vat at B&Q (sorry tradetiler!) but watch out as they seem to sell a lot with wobbly spindles. Best to ask to demo one before you buy.
    B&Q are getting notorious for refusing to exchange/refund trade purchases (even though it says "professional" on the box!)

    I have a Mastertiler (as above) for small everyday stuff, and a Montolit Brooklyn for the big stuff. Oh, and a ikkle grinder for really small jobs / stone finishing.

    The Dewalt is a big machine and good for slate, marble etc.
    it takes up a lot of room in your van but I think it is good
    value for money because it has a sliding table and it can
    be use as a chop saw whitch is good for taking complete
    holes out out of tiles eg elec sockets if using large tiles
    in kitchens.

    where as a lot of the big wet cutters can only run and
    not chop.

    hope to be of help

    got a spare dw 200 (the one without the legs) it's a 240v so I don't use it now, if you're up in lakes at all for £100 it's yours!

    got it when I was mainly doing domestic work where 240v isn't a problem, with hindsight I should have got my 110v and a transformer first!

    Hello All,
    I had a small 'plasplug' wet cutter and my real moan was measurements were poor,also adjustment bar clips were weak. I replaced it due to frustration!!!!
    Bought a 'Rexon' TC1150AL , 720watt good power and clean cut. I know it's a cheapy but VERY functional. Good extention table, to both sides, great adjust scale /bar.
    Had it couple of years ,done a fair few jobs with it.
    Screwfix do them for about£56 - 58 , if you break it Screwfix change it!! can't be TOO bad!
    GOOD LUCK
    Johnnyp
