    Default New Equipment Any suggestions?

    It is that time of the year, when I am 'advised' to purchase more plant.

    Has anyone got any suggestions for the following:-

    New Wet Cutter able to cut 600x600x30 stone and marble
    New Wet Cutter not to complicated as it will be operated by a stupid head ie:- me....nothing to big really for cutting a few samples.
    Some new laser levels
    Couple of new Slow Polishers
    Couple of new Angle Grinders


    Thanks in Advance

    My wet saw is a SIGMA 10M and it eats loads of marble etc.3hp motor helps greatly.
    It's a 600mm cutter so no probs plus the guide can be taken off for longer lengths.
    The Flex polishers seem to be good(need on myself),
    Grinders i use makita(115mm,110v).
    Good luck with your purchases pebbs.

    Gary your spot on, 90% of our work is stone, marble and granite the rest is made up with ceramics. These are commercial projects and high end residential and not one private client amongst them.
