My current wet saw seems to be giving up the ghost and I need a new one.
The question is.....
Do I go for a mid price wet saw or a 'cheaper' model and get a very good blade for it?
Cheers

i would go for a rubi ND 200, cuts anything you throw at it, and any length..

The Dewalt wet saw is the best one we have and we have tried most over the years. Its a bit outside your budget but well worth saving for. Its very powerfull, easy to transport and catches overspray well, last one we bought was about £550 about a year ago but I fear like most things they may have gone up. The Rubi DU isnt a bad saw but is nowhere near as powerfull as the dewalt. We havent used the table top type saws like the Rubi ND for years as we find them too awkward to use with large format tiles and everything seems to be large format these days.
Good luck with whatever you go for.

There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey.

You'd be luck to find a dewalt under £700, there are a couple of reconditioned ones about for £6-650, even second hand they still fetch £500. Brill saw though, mine has paid for itself already.

Im liking my new Clipper, decent budget machine.

Thanks everyone...
I have seen the Norton Clipper TT250G for about the £375 mark - Is that the one you have Gall.B?


Im looking for a wet saw for around the same price. My wet cutter is too small for 600s and need a bigger one badly. The problem with bridge saws is that I dont have anywhere to keep it as I dont have a garage. I do like the Rubi DN 300 but theyre not cheap, and cant really afford the dewalt 24000 however much I'd love one.

Topps have got an offer on the du-200-L-BL for £299 with stand at the mo, if you have a trade account. Not a bad price.
