    Depends on the tiles you will be using.
    The zoe 105 advanced is more powerful and cuts longer .

    i no zoe 105 is the better cutter twice the power and so on,and thers only £300 difference in price but im just thinking it is that little bit to big. i work on my own and dont no if i could get zoe out the van . iv only ever used grinder, but i think its time to get big wet cutter theres not much choice out there. I lay stone so every job really is different , pikus cuts 850 long so it would cope with 9/10 jobs . Just keep going from 1 to the next

    i have a pikus 85..6 weeks old, used on one job.

    the job was in chelsea, and the contractor forgot to order the dec tiles,
    they had lines in them for grouting, 24 tilers on site and no work.

    so we purchased 3 of these machines and set them up to cut the grooves (5 lines) i have one left £750 but you have to pick it up from central london! p.s it 110V

    pm if interested!

    what sort of work do you do vally?

    do you need a machine like this?
    most fixers get by with less than a dewalt,and i am proud to own one.
    the ramondi is a serious bit of kit!,
    the other one you mention is a blinking monster!

    oh and they are cost me £1250 plus v.a.t.

My main sorce off work can get me the pikus 85 for £886 all in and the Zoe 105 for £1150 all in so really good price by the sound of it only thing is I work by myself so don't think I could move zoe about on my own . Thanks for the offer very kind of u

    i do not need two.

    and they have paid for themselves.. £650?

    interesting stuff, for the "serious" start up,
    but imo the look plastic in comparison to the ramondi, but the rubis have a longer cutting length.

    i am a big fan of the rubi dry cutters, thier wetsaws i am not too sure about.

    the ramondi, is a hard core full "on site" capable wetsaw,
    i think "onsite" you would kill a rubi!

    just an opinion.
