    I have seen them but only any good if the motor is strong enough and a suitable blade for the material you are cutting....

    Tradetiler sells a better quality make of similar machine..

    Makita Power Saw (110v only)


    Wet cutting hand held power saw from Makita (can be used dry with suitable blade)

    • Water fed to both sides of blade


    As every day goes by, tiles seem to be getting even bigger this can be a big problem when it comes to wet cutting. The traditional machines become so heavy and expensive they are not viable. With the use of a straight edge clamped on the tile/slab accurate cuts can easily be achieved.
    Accurate free hand cuts can also easily be achived
    Highly suited to grout raking by reducing the depth of cut

    • Electrical earth leakage breaker
    • Blade Diameter: 125mm - Bore: 20 mm
    • (we include ring to make standard 22.2mm blades fit)
    • Depth of Cut @ 90°: 40mm
    • Depth of Cut @ 45°: 26mm
    • No Load Speed: 12,000rpm
    • Input wattage: 860w
    • Net Weight: 2.9kg
    • 110v only (because of water)
    • 5 M water feed tube, rubber tap fitting

    Included - Continuous rim blade rated for concrete - suitable some stone, travertine and marble. However we recommend a suitable tile blade is purchased separately
    Blade Here



    Price: £255.30 £293.60 Including VAT

    trade tiler is the dogs noblies but i have the rexon cutter and it will cut your 20mm ls no problem, the makita is a much better tool but 3 times the cost.you will be unlikely to use the tool much so think about it before you shell out

    it will cut as long as the flex cable will reach, its a circular saw for tiles, use the fence or a straight edge clamped to the work piece
