| Re: dry cutter | | I used a TS-40 for years. Had Zero problems as always. Perfect for sticking on the kitchen work surface (on top of a dust sheet folded a few times of course) and really light and easy to carry, especially without the chunky case. | Dan  TilersForums.co.uk- the UK's Biggest Tile Forum, used by the Professional and DIY Tiler alike.
