New wet cutter

[beanz]

I rarely use my Plasplugs indoors, as it still fires out quite a bit of water.

One option though would be to get a galvanised tray, or even a plastic tray for the bottom of dog cages (you can buy them from Welcome to Barjo — Barjo - Dog Guards, Cages and Accessories I can't find them on the website, but if you phone them they definitely sell them. The also make Galv trays to order but aren't cheap), drill a hole in one corner, and place on bath panel with a bucket underneath.

The rubi cutter you have been looking at is a very good cutter and a lot more power than any plasplugs cutter....that rubi has a 1.2hp motor and this power is better for cutting thicker stone tiles..

And again like most rubi tools available from Tradetiler..

Rubi ND 200


Although Rubi make some smaller flat bed saws, they are not very powerful. This is the best bet for the professional

• 40 mm depth of cut
• Stainless steel bed
• 0 - 45 deg mitre (can cut both sides of wheel)
• Sliding guide from 0 to 500 mm from wheel
• Blade guard and stem simply pull out for plunge cutting (to remove sections of the centre of a tile i.e. for sockets)
• Comes with reasonable quality diamond wheel
• Motor: 880w.....110 v or 240 v
• Wheel size - 200mm diameter 25.4mm bore
• Weight 15 Kg

The diamond wheel that is supplied with this machine is suitable for general ceramics. If you are cutting porcelain, granite marble and travertine etc then the Marcrist CK850 diamond wheel is highly recommended - See our 200mm diamond wheels section.

Is it just me that finds it unacceptable that in general we cant use wet cutters indoors? (don’t know about you guys but our weather is horizontal right now and its dark outside at 4), isn’t it funny we pay top dollar for some decent brand equipment as we are talking about putting our cutters in dog kennel trays (good idea by the way beanz) … I mean aren’t we just the most generous of trades? … do we buy new cars that drip all over our garage floors? Do we buy tellys that you still have to bang on the side to get a good picture? Do we buy washing machines that you have to put a towel under? Or fridges that you need to defrost each week? ….. humm – I don’t think so – but we buy tools from the best tiling tool OEM’s in the world (in the year 2009 – man landed on the moon years ago) and we put them in paddling pools and dog kennels ….. is it me?????

Thanks for that dave ,another good idea.How do you rate that rubi cutter? I just want a good wet cutter that will last me and cut any tile.so i thought about the nd 200 and a marcrist blade.

Thats what I use with my nd200, inside as well but not on carpet I may add

Swear by my Plasplugs Contractor Plus which I can use indoors as it doesn't leak. Used wetsaws ten times the price which you need to pour a bucket of water into every few moments. Don't know why more wetsaw manufacturers can't make a self containing water tray.

Re: New wet cutter ?

Hi guys - 1st timer on this forum.....

I've got a Plasplugs Contractor Plus - Had it now for 5 years and its been great. However, 120,000 miles on & I reckon it will fail its next MOT.
its starting to cut squint - so i am just drawing a line right across the tile & eyeballing the cut / lining up with the blade.
and
its overheatd & cut out on me a few times - need to leave it for 20 mins to cool down.
anyway - what should I replace it with ?
I've tried the cutters with the external water trough & i dont like them - they spill a lot of water.
So, ideally, one with an internal water trough
Most pro tilers knock the Plasplugs cutters - but i really like(d) mine.
I would buy another one in a minute, but as you all know, Plasplugs have gone down the swannie.

Dont want to spend any more than £150 if I need to

Any thoughts?

I have a small brocolina and it's a great little cutter and very little spray
