i have a post in the wanted section for the best place to get either an nd200 or nd300 (new or would consider used) but has anyone got any other sugestions ..my budget it £700 maximum but i dont like the overhead(radial arm)cutters..never have..any other makes that are as good or better than the rubi ones and wheres the best place to buy..look forward to hearing from you..cheers.....john

try some of the DEWALT cutters....google it.

Could try Tradetiler.com Home

if i was looking a new wet cutter the best wet cutter ive seen is the dewalt 24000 £685 looks quality get it from tradetiler get a angle grinder free cant be bad!

I have one of the orginal DeWalt saws...we were given it over four years ago to field test...I love this saw and we use it a lot. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

thanks for all your advice..i love the look and quality of the dewalt 24000 but aswell as doin the usual 30by30s and travertine etc i do a lot of kitchen splashbacks for a local kitchen company with 4by4s so theres a lot of cuts for switches etc and i think the dewalt might be i bit over the top and awkward for those jobs..correct me if ime wrong coz i doo luv the look of it..thanks again...

you can plunge cut easily on the dewalt it has a pull down arm so i think it would be excellent for kitchen splashbacks and awkward jobs might invest in one soon myself!

can anyone else convince me that the dewalt is the way to go even for doin small(4")tile jobs..i wish i could afford the dewalt and a little rubi 180 but i think that will take me over my budget..has anyone else used the dewalt on small tile jobs(ie kitchen splashes)..one more question..can it cut dry at times on ceramics..i no you shouldnt but we all do sumtimes...right

In nearly 20 years of setting tile, I have owned 1 Target, 2 Felkers, 4 Imers, 3 MK's, 1 Plasplugs (total crap), and the DeWalt that I currently have. It is without a doubt the most useful, all around saw that I have ever owned. It is not a mass-production saw the way the Target was, nor is it as portable as some of the MK's that I owned...but overall it is the best all-around saw for us.

thanks for that mate..you seem to like it..can anyone else give me the feedback i need before shelling out this much money on the dewalt..i need to use it every day on any type of tile any size..also once again can it cut the ceramics dry when ime doin the quick 10by8s jobs or will it ruin the blade very quickly..look forward to hearing from you..and finally wheres the best place to get one at the right price and quickly coz my old d cut is about ready to pop

Trade tiler is the best place to get one and you get a free dewalt grinder as well.....

you can get it delivered to Daves house

I don't know about cutting dry...that would be a function of the blade and the only blades I buy are for wet cutting...

Size of tiles cut: all the way from 1/2" mosaics all the way up to pieces of stone and Silstone, three feet long and an inch and half thick, cut for shower bench seats!

Also, we have cut bricks on it, pieces of steel trim, flagstones, and shower door metal!

Now there's an idea...

i notice tradetiler have a price promice on at the moment..i can get one from tooled up via the price inspector website for £599-95 inc vat and delivery..i really dont need a free angle grinder coz i have 3 already so i wonder if they can match that price..if they can ile buy it right now..sumone tell them to ring me before my wife finds out..lol..07830 112842..ive decided ile go for the dewalt as long as it is £600 no more

The one on tooled up dosen't include the stand though.....Tradetilers price includes the stand..

bugger..theres always a catch isnt there..i presume knowing my luk they dont do it cheaper without the angle grinder..

anglian tool centre..£629 including stand and next day del..that seems the best WITH the stand..can tradetiler better that i wonder..god this is getting expensive lol..but i must have one

£629 converts to $910.93, which would be a killer price here. Sounds like a good deal!

Be careful of imports though.....

i will ring them in the morning and hope that they can match that price without the grinder ofcourse..maybe a washboy instead eh....wish me luck

give dave a ring and let me know how you get on might invest in one myself if he can do a deal like that been looking at if for a while too great bit of kit to impress the customers!

i got the dewalt from dave at trade tiler..topp bloke..very knowledgeable..he priced matched for me and the beast arrived the following day..exelent service..as for the cutter..wow..a hell of a piece of kit..takes a bit of getting use to..cuts beautifully..highly recommended..

Go on rub it in you lucky so & so......i will get one , just have to justify getting another cutter to the missus...i have loads as it is, but i do like the dewalt..

in over 20 yrs of tiling i have never felt the need to spend so much money on cutters and grinders etc, where the money needs to be spent is on decent blades and cutting wheels, you can buy cheap grinders and cheap cutting machines, the blades/cutting disc are the essential peice of kit...£6, 700 on a cutter, id rather spend it on a holiday!!! seriously

Good blades are also great as you say....but so is a reliable motor....

You need to spend the money on good equipment when you have tilers working for you or it will cost you a lot more in the long run :Pete

Try to buy the best I can afford, buy cheap buy twice

I agree blades are important also size of motor just done a job 25 mts 900*300 Porcelain 4th floor flat could not use grinder,or my bridge, so used my rexon table saw 700 watt....... cost me £80 took off the splash guard, use only small amount of water so no dust, and tried a new blade turbo use wet or dry £16 from RIGHT LINES fantastic best blades ever
