Alternative to Plasplugs Master Tiler Cutter

[aflemi]

I had been thinking of buying the master tiler until they became unavailable.
Can I have recommendations of alternatives please, up to £130ish.
I need to be able to buy a glass cutting blade to fit it.
I see Topps do an aluminium tabled cutter for £100 with 180mm blade:

Portable Wet Saw 750W

Has anyone used one, is it a plasplugs re-brand?
thanks for help, everyone.

Rubi Diamant ND-180-BL Electric Tile Cutter 230v

Thats what i have and they retail at about £98 quid.

Vitrex make a cutter very similar to Plasplug, its called the Vitrex Versatile Pro 750w i think.

I think it was grumpy who posted about the norton clipper 220. Norton Clipper TT200EM Professional Table Top Tile Saw - HobUK have a look here.

Thanks guys, I now see Machine Mart have the Master Tiler for £80. Seems
great value. I assume different makers blades will fit it? What is the downside of getting it, can't see it for less than £125 anywhere else. What do you think?

I love the master tiler mate.

I used to have the one down from it think it was the pro tiler and that was great, just the right size.

TJ had a master tiler and it was quality for the price.

For 80 notes i cant see a down side.

Pentagons is a top place mate, if you aint been there before open an account with them. They are the best around for prices on BAL too.

Cheers guys, went for the Vitrex in Topps, new blade cut my 100mm glass tiles as good as I need, will watch how the blade performs and upgrade if needed but initially very happy, also got £10 off with trade card:hurray:. Very quiet and smooth running, minimal splashing, solid feel to it. Only downside is the bore size is only 18mm so need a collar for non-Vitrex blades.

ps Dave at Tradetiler was very helpful when I called for advice, I would endorse others recommendations even though I didn't buy from him this time.

 

[TJ Smiler]

Good for you mate. And yeah Dave at Tradetiler is a top bloke, bought loads off him and all of it is quality.

Ps Keep us posted on how that Vitrex is doing, very usefull information mate.

another option is the Vitrex 750 pro.

almost identical price and spec to the plas plugs cutter. not a bad bit of kit...

Thanks Patrick, that's the one I bought, got it for £89 with trade discount at Topps.

 

[Derry]

doh!! i've just read your earlier post and saw that you said that!

what do you think? i've got it and think its a decent enough machine

 

[TJ Smiler]

What tiles you used it on Derry and have you used it dry at all.

It looks like a good bit of kit so it's good to get this feedback on it.

Cheers mate
