Ive tried looking for info on the tomecanic tile cutter,but there seems little...has anyone got experience of this brand

to be honest never heard of them, have you googled it

put tomecanic into search on here theres loads of info plus links

Not a bad make Fipple, but know what you're saying never see them about much....

mike,i have!,,,Swe asked a few times but didnt get much comeback..thought id give it a go..they look pretty good on youtube,.just wondered if someone had used 1 and could tell me pros and cons...cheersnevermind

they used to sold over here by tiletrim ( south london) when i look for a new one ( dry flat bed 24" cut ) the only place i could find the was U.S.A. site. bought a wet cutter about 18 mths ago from "contractors ditrect "no guts motor to weak (800W). used only once !! but flat bed dry cutters are brill. realy well made . had two for 15 years now. spot on !!

thanks a great deal paul!...i know of 1 place in the uk...its called emc somewhere north of england...i think there the only ones...i called trimline funny enough the other day and they no longer stock them...anyways...from what ive seen on youtube,,they look a pretty cool cutter...with your opinion as well...im pretty sure i,ll end up buying the supercoup750... thanks 4 advise

Actually Paul!...could u tell me a little about the build quality,and what the good points are..ie where would you say they are say!against a sigma and maybe a rubi? cheers

I used to own one, years ago good heavy duty machine as I recall. It got left on a job in the US, don't know how it would compare with Rubi or Sigma of today

very robust. floating sprung bed. realy easy cutting action .one solid rail that head runs on .so easy to see what you are doing . these are a realy good tool you will not be disappointed mate.. look after it and it will last you years . oh and when you order get a spare wheel. last a long time but you never know ? with all this work you will be doing with it a

have hired a tomecanic several times for large format tile jobs from the suppliers you mentioned, East Midlands Ceramics based in nottingham. see website
emctiles.co.uk or call0115 9770155

Found the cutter very easy to use and cuts porcelain no problem. Would buy one myself but already have various Rubi cutters.

thanks for all of your info,very much appreciated....think im set on giving emc a call....been eyeing this cutter for ages...really needed that info cheers m8tys

I've used a tomecanic wet table saw before, my local tile shop does them, they seem to be quite robust, but they look a bit flimsy, and a bit colourful (like a childs toy!). The blades they supply seem to wear out a bit quick though. I went through 3 saws in 1 year once, but, because they were under a years warranty, I only had to pay for 1 of them .

Hi Ken...looks like your close to me,...i work in wootton near bedford...checked out your website..looks good m8!...then tomecanic i had in mind was the flatbed dry cutter...i think im set on buying it at somepoint,just wanted to get a few angles from people as to what they thought...cheers for your input

Is this the one you're looking at Fipple?



They do a pretty sturdy looking carrycase to go with it as well.

Thats the 1!... the case is,i would imagine quite heavy..think its made of mdf..but yeah!..thats the cutter,some have said it looks over manifactured,but so far from what people have said,thats not been mentioned so its looking likely im gonna be coverting this baby for a while..and whats the worst that could happen,i waste £280 thats for the 750mm cutter...ive spent more than that in the pub on a weekend,back in the day...she does look robust"...cheers for pics

The good thing about the case is that it has wheels, like a suitcase, so you can pull it along with the handle at the end

Merle would you walk onto site pulling your cutter along in its box on wheels behind you like some of these camp young men pull their shopping trollies?
Can just imagine the joiner with the large moustache that always wears tight shorts and a ripped tee shirt would think..........

"Oooh get a load of him ducky"

Hello Sailor

I don't know mate, Fipple might be that way inclined

Your barking up the wrong tree sweeties!...but i do find your merth somewhat humorous,....do you always come in pairs or alone?...you 2 seem joined at the hip...must be troublesome when you come to tile in tight corners.....anyways..copied and pasted!! kaching!!lmao

What me and Merle get up to in the hidden rooms of the forum is our business.

Calm down dear, its only a commershecall. (I cant spell commercial)

youd probably both drink stella...put on a front..chat about footy...blokey stuff...dom aka "pinky" would denounce all known facts of life as a hoax and how he can prove its so,,,whilst merle starts checking out his demeaner.....then dom would probably renounce his staunch stance on most things and come clean about his dependancy on stella and false assumptions,and both would embrace and god only knows what would take place from there...but as you said pinky"..wat u both get upto in hidden rooms is your affair...lmao
