I am quoting on a job that will require 25 of these large stone tiles that tops are selling cutting.
At the moment I have a plasplugs wet cutter a rubi ts40 and a big clinker.
I have been informed that i will not be able to dry cut them and they are approx 12mm thick.
I do not do much of these sort of tiles so don't want to spend much on something that will not be used much so ideal y as cheap as possible.
At the moment I am thinking about hiring something but not sure what would be best or if the hire money would be better spent going towards my own.

At the moment I am looking at the two rexon radial cutters in screwfix b ut would they be up to the job?
Should I just get a better normal wet cutter my plassplugs is very well used but still going strong and has done everything I have ever wanted it to .
your opinions would be most welcome
 
Hiya.....Just use a grinder mate.......not worth buying a machine if you never usually fix it...:thumbsup:

You might get a good deal from CTD for a grinder if you have one close and ask them very nicely.
 
Thanks for fast reply what make and model would you recommend I have a very small sealy grinder that I use for general stuff but its not up to much really.
I have never used it on tiles up till now .
