Well my el cheapo b&q wet cutter has evetually died. Time for a new one but WHICH ONE>

Looked at the Rubi ND200 but its pretty expensive considering the size of tiles it can cut .

Anyone got any alternatives or is the rubi one the best?

depends what your cutting and how much your using it but the plasplug wet cutters are good value but they went belly up and i dont know if you can still get em , norton wet cutters are worth a look, try the search engine for "wet cutters" there has been many threads on the subject and our own Dave has road tested the rubi nd200 so look that up as well..

Plasplugs did go bump, they got bought out by Turner Intl. Which just happens to be run by the same people that ran Plasplugs. I imagine their cutters will be back on the market soon. But that is a guess.

Ken - Norton clipper £198-00 CTD. Second best to Rubi nd200 IMO.

Trade tiler got Dewalt

After your factory floor you can buy it!

Timeless John.

Got the ND200 myself..........had it for a few years now, and It has been a bloody great cutter. Need to replace it very soon mind, as the bearings are screaming, and can't be replaced

Had my monies worth outta it

Been using plasplugs for years !
Over the moon they'll be back in shops !
Cheap as chips, everyones been complaining about those Clippers from CTD !

Right took the plunge ordered ND200 and a RubMix from our friends at tradetiler .

You won't be dissapointed...hope you used your discount code...

but being a table saw(cheers Mark), surely the size of tile is irrelevent, aas you push it through the blade

i have 3 plasplugs and love them also got a rubi wet cutter which i never use as i love the plasplugs...easy to set up and very mobile.

Only mitres 50cm

A broccilino is a good little cutter for small stuff, I got a new blade from Dave at trade tiler which is better than the one you get with the cutter IMO

As long as you can hold it straight it will cut unlimited length..

Firstly, hi from an oldie!

Now to the business in hand - Having "retired", I now find myself more busy than ever! Still, it stops the mind wandering and the hand from shaking, I suppose

I have been fitting a new marble floor at home - 85m2 of it! This prompted a search for a cheap-ish radial cutter as that is a lot of marble to cut by hand. Of course, I could have got a Montolit - but at €1000 or so, my Italian pension isn't THAT good!

Looking around I found (and bought) a Chinese-made machine that is imported into Europe by a French company, . It cost me €300, although I then bought a Montolit DNA blade as I hate chips!

Having now cut all the marble (25mm) and laid it, I am now using the saw for a ceramic job, with diagonal cuts in 45x45 tiles. The saw has worked faultlessly, although I had to tidy up a couple of Chinese "features" that neither worked nor were needed!

All in all, an excellent saw for not a great deal of cash. Of course, I have no idea at all if you can get one in the UK (sorry), but a call to Far would get you an answer, I'm sure!

PS - chuck away the packaging as quick as you can, unless you like the strange smell that Chinese packing materials always seem to have!

Ciao!

good luck in your retirement in sunny italy nardini you lucky sod and dont drink too much of the old vino...

My big sigma 10m is a real dream to use.very expensive but paid for itself many times over already.i know a man who has one 12 years now.
