you live an learn http://www.buybrandtools.com/acatalo...N-Wet-Saw.html

I have been tiling for 18 years and have never fixed 30mm granite once.
But I have fixed 12-15 mm granite a good number of times and my 'plastic crap' cutter has dealt with them every bit as well as my Sigma or Rubi wet cutters ever did.

the mastertiler is brilliant for domestic use, sure its not as good as a bridge but its portable and hardly any spray, ideal for setting up inside.. i recently did 2 , 30 odd m2 bathrooms with 600 x300 limestone ,easy and no mess .. but i you want to set up your big bad cutter outside and walk up and down stairs all day.....

I have my Sigma and Rubi cutters too.
I just prefer to use my plastic crap for my run of the mill everday use, rather than lug a huge wet cutter or bridge cutter about.

A rival to the master tiler has just been launched, the Rubi ND180 BL

Do Rubi not make the wee tiny wet cutter they had about 15yr ago any more?
it was about a 12 inches square, 5 or inches high, and sat in a full enclosed plastic case that held the water, and had about a 4inch blade on it.
It was also bright orange.

That was a brillint wee saw, only thing was the switch was prone to failure.

You thinking of the Briccolina Drew? I have one and it is a good saw for small tiles.

Naw, it was defo a Rubi.
My Dad bought me one when I had served my time, and went self-employed.
All af Rubi's saws were Orange then , I think.
