Hi Guys, still prefixing my entries with, "I'm just starting out in tiling". I missed the opportunity to buy Ed's 700N last week. I pushed him on a bit on ebay Ed, if you read this.
I have now seen a 900N on ebay and was wondering if it will be able to do everything that the 700N does, I anticipate that I will be cutting 600mm porcelain in the near future. I have a TS 40 for smaller tiles and I am looking for something a little bigger. I acknowledge that the 900 is a beast and will be hard to lug around, but will it be a good big brother to my TS 40, or too big and still leave a gap somewhere in between.
As always I appreciate your advice and experience.

Steve

It is just the same but cuts longer tiles..

I don't know doug.. maybe a pic i haven't seen before..

wheels last forever

skip the 900 and get a real beast! the small one is my TX700

Nice pic doug.. havn't seen that one before..

If you need to do diagonal then the 700 is good that but you will find you need some different sizes inbetween

Coz the tile says>>> TX 900N or TX 700N.....

Not trying to preach Sigma propaganda, but I recall Phil Hobson say in a post that sometimes the TX700 had bother cutting 600 porcelain in that you needed to run the first few cm up the wetsaw. What about a large Montolit?

I have never had bother cutting any hard tiles on my TX700n.. not once..

I do on the ts50+ but deffo not the TX..

for most part my TX 700 is ample, I got the TX1200N cos I was doing a big job with 1metre long tiles

that was selwyn froggitt (bill maynard) his catchphrase was "magic selwyn!" or summat like that.

He used to say i'll ava half.. like when somebody else was at the bar and spoke to him, he used to say I'll ava a half..LOL LOL... didn't realise it was that long ago.. i must have caught the repeats..

Thanks, Dave, Whitebeam, Doug and all. I will try for the 900 on fleabay and fill in the gaps as required. If unlucky, I will have to get a brand new 700, every cloud has a silver lining!

Good luck on the bidding..

Good memory Wingn mate, but that was the mother of all porcs. A one off deffo not the Rubi Selwyn Froggit's mum used to say "don't open that cupboard Selwyn, things fall out", and they always did.
