Need a new wet cutter

[Time's Ran Out]

Can't cut stone on a Rubi!
By that I mean I only use the Rubi dry rail type for Victorian and porcelain, never had a Rubi wet cutter since 1990.
Ever since I bought the Dewalt off Mr Howe I've never wanted anything else. I'am a simple soul with few desires .

That raimondi cutter nice but expensive

Thanks for the replies. Looks like a dwalt for me then. What do you Cit with it on terms of tile type / thickness What other cutting tools do you guys use?

 

[Chris Gibbs]

Thanks for that Chris. What's the next cutter up from the 2400 that would cope with bigger tiles? I'm thinking cutting diagonals on larger tiles.

Angle grinder?

Those guys with the dwalt what do you do for larger tiles?

you can get a surprisingly good cut with an angle grinder... blade/disc permitting of course. a lot of tile fixers use them as their main cutting tool, ive done it but tend to scribe it first with my sigma. There's a lots of info on this site regarding blades/discs.
goods luck

Can you get a guide for an angle grinder or do people cut free hand

Free hand for me

yeah free hand. you'll be surprised, the blade kind of keeps it straight. like I said previously, you could score it with your manual tile cutter first and them follow the line.
