emc sell the blades for the briccolina guys n gals,hope naming emc doesnt break rules?

For a briccolina blade ??????

think the cutters are 113 pounds,at emc and the blades i cant remember but i onlty use the briccolina for ceramic jobs and small porc ans stone work as its not a heavy duty graft cutter imo but is great at what its designed for so the blade they sell does the job for me.

emc i might add are brilliant to deal with and also hold spares for the briccolina just incase the stroodlepop labourer decides to knock the entire table over and smash the tray and guard!!

I found the blade that came with mine chipped ceramics like a good'un....

nah sorry mate I meant buy the cutter itself from them, but reading back over this thread I see a few people have already mentioned that now

 

[kilty55]

i bought a blade of them ages ago for the briccolina i think it was advertised as the grade up from the supplied one on the cutter itself,probably best to look at there website i guess

Well bit the bullet today and purchased one of these baby's from EMC £113.50 and upgraded blade think about £21 ish,haven't had time to study it yet but have got a couple of splashy's lined up to test it out.

Anyone know,the guide rail is it easily removed as I believe it has to screwthreads holding it in place?

It's a small bolt that holds it in, I got rid of mine.

Billy you might be a county fan, but you have definitly bought the best cutter around for that price range.

The Briccolina is only good for small and brittle ceramic tiles. Even with a new and superior blade, this cutter cannot handle anything more than a 200 mm soft ceramic tile due to it's weak motor. Small and compact, it is useful for kitchen wall tiles, but apart from that, don't bother putting it in the van.

Eh??
I take it mines must be a superior version as it's cut almost everything I've flung at it..
Ceramic, porcs, slate, trav etc.
Granted it doesn't get much use now other than doing kitchens & the odd bathroom but it's a great wee cutter.

It does cut everything, eventually, but it's a small and weak machine that has major limits. In other words: it's completely unsuited for heavy work.

It's not stated as being suitable for heavy work..
For heavy work I use my Dewalt & in small bathrooms & kitchens i use my Bricollina..

I keep mine in the van all the time as it's small takes up very little space......

I changed the blade on my briccolna and it's cut every single tile I threw on it. Brilliant little machine
