    Default Wet or dry cutting help please........?

    Hi All

    I am about to start tiling my small bathroom the walls are 15m sq and the floor 3m sq using ceramic tiles (450 x 300 max)

    I have an electric wet tile cutting table that I bought to cut the slate tiles for my patio, do I use this or buy a conventional cutter.

    If its a conventional one can anyone recommend a decent one thats not to exspensive, if there is such a thing?

    Many thanks, cheers.........

    I bought a Big Clinker from B&Q TradePoint counter if u got the trade card. If not, i set mine up over the counter and they weren't too bothered about proof of business (eg.business card/letterhead.

    It's in the TradePoint catalogue at about £68+vat, but when they priced it on the counter it was £38 INC vat - absolute bargain and a decent cutter too, its big tho, cuts up to 600mm tiles.

    They weren't sure why they were priced so low, but these are in Topps Tiles for £100.

    That was about 3-4 week ago, get down there see if they still doing it. Do yourself a standard letterhead if need be.
