    the briccolina is the best small wet cutter ive ever used.
    really smooth cuts and quite a bit of power too for its output.

    I guess it depends on what you call 'Small'? I got a nice little Rubi DU200 that I call my 'Small saw' LOL!

    can anyone give me the overall dimensions of the Briccolina machine please, looked on the net & the sizes seem very small, 360mm x 270mm x 150mm, ideal if it is this size as i need a new small cutter, thats another plasplugs skipped.

    Thanx, that size is ideal for me, we were using our old plasplugs & we couldnt cut a straight line at the end up. think the spindle had too much wobble in it, no harm to it, its been goin strong for about 5 years now, its run its course now its in the bucket.

    Thats us worked all week with the new cutter, great little powerful machine, still cant believe how small it is but thats what we were looking for.

    My small machine was a plasplugs, i used to think it was ok with a marcrist blade until i bought the briccolina.

    I would recommend this cutter to anyone
