CF68CA3F-C975-4442-B648-5FB5D6C6C66C.jpeg Tiled kitchen splashbacks with metro tiles today, half bond and didn’t once go outside in the pouring rain or even used a manual cutter. Just set up my little Briccolina wet saw and did every straight and L shape cut with no mess, no water everywhere and no dust. I had forgotten how good and clean these little wet saws are and how good table saws are if it’s a quality machine with a good blade in it!

What blade do you have in it Ian or is it the one supplied that you use?

I still have the standard blade but purchased the porcelain blade aswell when I bought it and still not used it Lee, still no chipping no matter what I’ve put thru it.

Ive got a plas plug master tiler, similar to that vitrex and I used to use it for everything, it’s great. I fact I had it out today for the first time in a year! The guard is long gone so it’s not one for indoors anymore. I also had small table top types. That little one looks nice.

If anyone wants a pop-up work tent that is really waterproof and tough, I'd recommend these guys:
Pop Up Gazebo | Waterproof Gazebo | Gazebos For Sale | Gazebos - https://rockawnings.co.uk/
They come in a wheeled bag and fit easily in my Connect.


They look really useful. How well do they come with 'some' wind (I dont mean a tornado). I'd love one where my cutter is outside (and none tiling jobs). - it can go ontop of the landrover for transport.Some lights they look smashing.

I bought one already!
(I'm not Andy!)
I know you’re not Andy, Mark, I’d worked that out. Haha
It’s the way I chose to read your post,
That he could buy it, so you could put it in your Connect. :rolleyes:

I 'had' one of these which was screwed to a timber deck of a Barn conversion we were doing........it 'was' a great bit of kit until the wind had it's way.
It snapped a couple of legs and ripped the roof. It was a particularly windy day/night though.:(
Would def get another.

I had a pop up gazaebo similar to the budget one in Marks link, never used it for work, I bought it to cover the old bug when I was taking the engine out. Took it camping and it blew away and ended up mangled! Pack down nice but very heavy!
