Does anyone know if you can somehow use American tools in the UK? this cutter looks the nuts and half price of the Dewalt on ebay but I can't find a UK version anywhere. the one step set up is a time saver and its way more versatile than the dewalt with the sliding head etc.......

I have a small wet cutter which I have perviously used on most stone jobs upto 600x300 12mm, which cuts great but since I have been using the grinder more, I'm gonna go with that next time.
When I did the 900x600 20mm limestone job I used a 9 inch grinder and that was great for it. Saves manouvering a massive tile through a wet cutter

 

[Flintstone]

The Beast, is far more beasty than I'll need!

 

[Mike ramsdale]

[Mike ramsdale]

what wet cutter is it you use? I nothing but bathrooms, 90% of the time I work with 9-12 mill porce mainly 600 x 300's. managing well enough with my rubi and grinder but think a wet cutter would speed me up and be better for envelopes etc. can't weigh up if yhe dewalt is OTT and a table top like the vitrex 750 would be better. I have used the Dewalt before and know how good it is but can I get that level of cut with a table top? cheers

How much do u wanna spend ill hit u with some options

 

[Mike ramsdale]

dunno, would pay the extra for the Dewalt if someone said you cant get that level of cut from say a norton clipper, vitrex 750 etc. just want whats best for domestic bathrooms ie its a big advantage if I can set cutter up in doors obviously wont happen with the dewalt often. but are the table toppers gonna stand uo to porce and are they big enough for 600's using the guides etc.

talking myself out of a sale Mike, but for bathrooms the dewalt is probably overkill unless you're working in BIG rooms? I have a small Norton wet saw in a case from ctd, 110quid and it's great for 60x30s.

I throw the guide bar away. All cuts by eye.
No issues.

I only use the guide on metros any where where the tile meets a trim I wet cut as I think the trim sits much better

I have the norton TT200EM from CTD

 

[Mike ramsdale]

cheers mate, I thought as much regarding the Dewalt, great machine but not practical for your average domestics. would you say the clipper is as good as the rubi nd 200? and I assume itsthe bigger one of the nortons (t220)? or something?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

With a red rubi blade

 

[Mike ramsdale]

thats the one Kyle, is it good then yeah?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

It's ok but I don't use it for anything other then metros really and kitchen walls i use the dewalt or my sigma most of the time which can be overkill but I'd rather have the power and capabilities and not need them rather then need them and have to do without

What do you guys mean by envolopes

What do you guys mean by envolopes

Envelopes are the fall lines in the tiling in a wet room shower floor

 

[Mike ramsdale]

diaganal cuts for falls in shower trays. very neet like factory edges with the good wet saws, you cant get quite the same finish with a grinder.

I have the same. With Marcrist blade.
Good saw for the money, although I wish I still had a Plasplugs Mastertiler!

 

[Mike ramsdale]

i basically just want to know if it leave a nicer finish than a grinder for envelopes and cuts on show etc. and if 600's are manageable on them. cheers

Ahh cack.
This thread has made me go and watch the Raimondi GS86 vids again

only half?

I had a play with one of these while i was in the US last year. They aren't that good. Pretty weak motor and a bit like the Brutus from Topps. Both looked like the dewalt but that's where it stops. Don't waste your money, if your after this style of cutter get the dewalt.

There, it's done!

Punctuation is another matter all together! . ,

 

[Flintstone]

I'll probably get flamed here but I use a plasplug wet cutter which I have had for aboout 7 years and it's cut everything I've put on it no problem!
