I use a Husqvarna TC670 dry cutter, very similar to a Rubi of same size but something like half the price £120, nice to use, and cuts 600mm tiles, and also can use the Rubi cutting wheels.
Then I have a Plasplug Master tiler, great wet cutter for £80

you could also use a grinder to cut tiles m8,you can pick up the pro tiler plus in B&Q for 40 quid just now and as for dry cutters i use a genesis 600 with a rubi wheel in it which i bought from NETT.Also got a bosch grinder with diamond blade which i bought in Argos for 45 quid but only paid 15quid as i had vouchers from buying the kids xmas presents,lol. As Grumpy says have a look around the threads which will help you decide.


p.s.Welcome to the forums m8 and happy tiling.

agree with most of above, plasplugs master tiler is a good wet cutter to start of with and is currently on sale in b&q at £80, but you might want to get a better blade you will finds links on the forum, ther is an 850 something or other blade about which most tilers fit to the master tiler. a good dry cutter is a must, rubi or sigma is the choice of the pros. i think my sigma will be tiling long after me lol

The Blade is the Marcrist CK-850 - http://www.buybrandtools.com/acatalo...rist_Rubi.html

The response we have had since weve been selling these blades has been phenomenal!

I use a Big Clinker and a Master Tiler - both well recommended.
Clinker comes in for some stick on here but they really are excellent for the money, and great for large porcelain.
I'd seriously suggest getting a smaller cutter to go with these though. The clinker is a bit too large for smaller splashback jobs etc.
