    Default Natural Stone Cutting

    Ive been tiling many years now and have recently noticed a sharp increase in natural stone tiling, Currently im borrowing a rubi table saw. im looking for something similar but at over £800 i cannot afford this currently.

    What does every one else use for day to day use for smooth cutting with a perfect finish?

    They crop up on Ebay now and again but it always looks suspicious to me when they are not complete...ie no stand or trays.

    Good point. They only had time to grab the saw body.

    Ask them a few technical questions to see if they actually know how to use the saw.
