Vitrex Anyone use the Vitrex BT65011 for wet cuts? - Tile Advice

[Paul James Farrell]

I'm looking around for a wet cutter that I can use for tiles and also for block paving/flagging (which need to cut to a depth of 50mm). I saw this model which looks like it will cut to those requirements.

Anyone used one? Or does anyone have any other recommendations? Cheers

A link to a tile supplier, rather than a link to the cutter! Hmmm

you would need a blade for tiles and a specific blade for block paving.
Segmented blades are used for block paving but they are not suitable for tiles

Thanks, good point. Those 250mm segmented blades are quite expensive too (around £50-60).

There is link in the word 'tiles', but perhaps the forum adds this on?!

For cutting block pavers, angle grinder/sthil saw is usual go to tool. If there is a lot of edge cuts, its best to lay them with an overlap, then cut the whole edge in one go with the grinder/stihl saw rather than individual cuts.

Yes, the forum must add that link in for some reason.

I was hoping to get a wet saw so that I could keep the dust down.

Fair enough. I usually use a petrol sthil saw with a hose pipe attached.

For paving stones I use a 9” grinder and a labourer with a water sprayer to keep dust down

The Battipav is a professional machine though which would last for years. The Brutus is more DIY and because Topps sell them - it says enough really.
