The guard off my trusty Plasplugs master tiler snapped off this morning. Been using it on ceramics and I've just got home and I look like a cross between David Dickinson and a bloody Umpalumpa! Popped into Tesco on way home too - the shame!
Broke mine a while, you can buy spares on line...
It's the metal bracket that's snapped. And it looks like it attaches under the table on the sealed side 
Not had a proper look at it yet though.

It attaches on top, with 2 small screws..
That was a quick search btw, im sure you can get them cheaper..

Man of your talents Nick, pop in to a diy and pick up a bracket for couple quid.It's the metal bracket that's snapped. And it looks like it attaches under the table on the sealed side
Yeah just had a look at it - 2.5mm allen screws. Got 2mm and 3mm
Looking at the state of the hex screws I can't see them budging without rounding off. Will have a play at the weekend - in the mean time I've just thinned the snapped bracket on a bench grinder and wedged it in the gap with some mega strength glue Might manage to cut at least one tile before I turn into Dale Winton tomorrow
