    Default Rotozip tile cutter

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone out there has used or owns a Rotozip tile cutter and if so are they any good? They look pretty cool and look like they do a good job but I just dont want to go and spend x amount if they aren't all that. If anyone could let me know if there worth getting or not then that'd be great. Thanks.
    Rich.

    Wicked mate thanks. It's doesn't have any water with it does it? By this I mean its a dry cutter. Do the bits wear down quicker than a wet cutting hole set or not?

    As Dave, I use mine quite a lot on stone, not so hot on porcelain, but good for ceramics

    Brilliant guys thanks. Really appreciate your opinions. Also one last thing, what about a Dewalt hand held wet cutting saw? Any good? Would your recommend getting one aswell as the Rotozip? I have a big Rubi wet cutter but its too big to carry around all the time so i've been looking at the Dewalt one to keep on the van.

    As an alternative we offer Porsadrill for drilling holes into tiles.





    Always worth considering the options.
