does anyone use the plasplugs master tiler wet cutter and if so is it a decent cutter with decent power for cutting and how does it compare to more expensive cutters like rubi?

Grace'sDad

I use one and it compares well. Nice quiet powerful induction motor. The blade which comes with it is ok but a lot of peeps will be along to tell you to put a marcrist blade on.

My only gripe is that the blade can have a tendancy to wander if you cut slivers with too much pressure. I don't think the spindle is as tough as some of the "professional" cutters.

For £80 though it's a steal. Mine munches through porcelain easily.

(oh, and forget doing mitre cuts - impossible!)

I hear; I forget
I see; I remember
I do; and I understand.

Glad you said that about the mitred cuts Grace`s dad, I have a plasplugs and tried a few mitres for practice......as you say impossible, the bloody platform that you angle kept falling down with even the slightest pressure!!

I love my Master Tiler, but must say I have never tried doing a mitre on it yet.

i used my mastertiler to cut mitres on q rock tiles, wish i hadn't bothered now as the little stand you pull out to get the 45 degree angle snapped!! i also put a macrist blade on mine which makes cutting much qiucker but i now get lots of little bits flying up as i cut, is this typical of the macrist blade?

As iam typing this i have been asked to quote for a shower via email, whoopee!

my back aches....

i'm not a tiler (evidently!) but can someone tell me WHY you would want to cut a mitre in tiles? just done my kitchen floor (travertine) with a master tiler and i thought it was great, but not being a tiler i've nothing to compare it with

Sir Ramic

You may want to mitre the tile edges when tiling around a wall edge or a window, rather than use tile edging trim.

trebor

oh i get ya, thanks for that sir ramic

Hi, I bought a Plas Plugs Master tiler machine, I don't like the groove in the table top bits of tile jam in it, it's a pain, the moter isn't powerful enough, if you can afford something better get it.

Thing is the Master tilers only £80 so it's a good cheap cutter, but yeah, the grooves can get clogged, but I've never had a problem with the motor power, though the most I have thrown at it is 8mm porcelain, but that was fine.
