I use a Norton clipper 200 which has saw me ok but more jobs are coming in where tiles are 400-600mm adn slate/travertine etc and am finding it akward when having to push big tiles through and am wondering if anyone has advice on wet saws bearing in mind I cant go to to a Dewalt as much as Id love to but would be looking in te 200-300 range.

Any suggestions?

for slate/travertine etc i use a 4" grinder with a good blade Marcrist or similar

Used a grinder last week for slate but was very dusty, normal or not doing something right?

Type of saw do you use Dean?

I use a Rubi ND200 which suits my needs.

To add, just noticed your how much you want to spend, the ND200 is about £500

I use a 10M sigma for all my wet cutting but slate is messy so 4" grinder outdoors is a good option.
The 10M is not cheap though.
