Electric Tile Cutter For Slate - Tile Advice

[stevesmith89]

Ok thank you everyone for your input, I think I've narrowed it down to a table top one and will pop in some local shops etc but I can get the rubi nd 200 for £350 online. I'll keep this thread open and update with which one I go for and my experience after the jobs finished

have you thought of a rubi 180 its a tilers circular saw can use wet or dry I use it dry and fit it has a fitting to attach a vacuum for the dust a lot less cumber son than any table wet cutter especially if space is an issue

Yeah I was looking at that one earlier but Rubis product video made it look extremely complicated to set up etc

its easier than any wet cutter and less space in your van needed

I thought Slate was one of the stones which had a quite high Silica content, so not ideal to be cutting dry?
I did my slate tiles with a vitrex 750 Pro with a new vitrex blade, easy peasy.....
What cutter were you using first off that wasn't suitable?
