[Blunt Tool]

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 use my vitrex wet cutter inside...

When it packs in I'm going to get the briccloina, they look like a great little cutter...

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.

I had the pro 750 for years Andy before I got my Rubi nd200, never missed a beat. Yes highly recommend the Briccolina, the fence cuts straight repeatedly.

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.

Hahaha knew that was coming Mark, really is the RR of table saws and going to have to do more house chores and compliments to the wife before I show her that.

You can even buy this platform now to so that the Briccolina handles larger formats, 2 wet saws in one.

I find it a bit fiddly using a table top cutter like those above.
They tend to run out of water by the time I get to the end of the tile.
