More than a montolit wheel.

Tiletown would get you a cracking price I'm sure.

Oh no they wouldnt !!!

Most of the items I have bought so far have been less than I would have expected or thereabouts, Sorry but the cutting wheel was ridiculous money !

Feel your pain Neale, put a new 60b wheel on my 10L last week and broke my heart. First job with it was 900x600x20 black limestone slabs and it performed flawlessly, so that eased the shock a bit.

 

[Gazzer]

After a bit more searching I may have found a sigma 86c at the right price. I will know more next week.

Measuring square guide arrived and a wheel is on its way. Still need time to finish painting and then assemble it back together.

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Blimey that measuring square arrived quick!!

 

[Gazzer]

Yup 1st class service as always

Had time to assemble the machine today although it has to come apart again soon as i am waiting for a selection of stainless steel nuts and bolts to replace the old ones....Oh and a cutting wheel.
The only thing I havent been able to sort is a splash guard that fits under the bed of the saw.

Paint isnt as good as I wanted, I may try powder coat next time if its not too expensive.

I had to alter the knife holding the water guard as it must have been for a later model.
