no water runs over the sides. :smash:

Just out of curiosity, what do you use for larger jobs?

no water runs over the sides. :smash:

provided you keep the guard as low as possible.

Yep its a good saw, i use mine more than the rubi.

Also it's £79.99 inc vat at B&Q (sorry tradetiler!) but watch out as they seem to sell a lot with wobbly spindles. Best to ask to demo one before you buy.
B&Q are getting notorious for refusing to exchange/refund trade purchases (even though it says "professional" on the box!)

I have the big bad boy DEWALT the cream of the crop :20:

what do you use?

 

[Grace'sDad]

I have a Mastertiler (as above) for small everyday stuff, and a Montolit Brooklyn for the big stuff. Oh, and a ikkle grinder for really small jobs / stone finishing.

I have the MasterTiler too, not done anything big enough to need anything else yet (new boy). Just curious, i like to know what my options are for future reference hehe!

 

[westcoast tiler]

The Dewalt is a big machine and good for slate, marble etc.
it takes up a lot of room in your van but I think it is good
value for money because it has a sliding table and it can
be use as a chop saw whitch is good for taking complete
holes out out of tiles eg elec sockets if using large tiles
in kitchens.

where as a lot of the big wet cutters can only run and
not chop.

hope to be of help

got a spare dw 200 (the one without the legs) it's a 240v so I don't use it now, if you're up in lakes at all for £100 it's yours!

 

[White Room]

Good price Doug:santa_cheesy:

 

[doug boardley]

got it when I was mainly doing domestic work where 240v isn't a problem, with hindsight I should have got my 110v and a transformer first!
