    Default Hiring a wet cutter

    Well as the title suggests I need to hire a wet cutter after my "high power" Vitrex versatile burnt out after 2 tiles (I kid you not! 12mm travertine). I know it's cheap rubbish and you get what you pay for Howay I expected to do one bathroom!

    Any Ideas on rough cost and ideally can someone suggest somewhere around Durham?

    Cheers

    Same as Mike, I've got a Vitrex 750, superb budget cutter. Make sure you get a good blade and it will cut anything.

    I got a faithfulls sintered blade, I bought it in October and cut loads with it, it's hardly worn and it's a thin blade, so the chattering is very small if at all, the blade was about £23.00
