Bargain ? Or will it gather dust ?

[Leatherface]

Seem to like collecting wet saws, have the chance to buy an old model tile wet saw very similar to the one on the link. A bit heavy and cumbersome, but he only wants £60 for it, have seen it working. May gather dust in garage, but if I get to use it a few times on the right job, then poss worth £60 ? What you think ?

Fantastic bargain for the money if it is in working order great for bricks, block paving and thick slabs but quite messy to work with you get quite wet, the cutting range on them is not so great ie large dimensional slabs, tiles etc. bargain but when would you use it.

Thanks, was thinking that if I only used it a few times could still re-sell and get at least what I paid for it.

It would cost you more to hire that for a couple of weeks methinks.

I've bought a belle vibrating poker (don't laugh), for about half its new price. It is used to vibate down concrete. I would have spent more hiring it when I underpinned the house and dug out to create an extra room I reckon I could still get back what I paid for it.

Did see a patibav (spelling ?) on ebay and it was coming down in price every time it was relisted, it could cut 800mm tiles. It did'nt sell in the end and it was a beast with a 2 kw motor and costs about £2000 when new. Did concider but did'nt bother in the end, like Nick said would it be a dust catcher
