[Regis Quality Tiling]

Hi everyone,
I worked as an apprentice tiler with a well respected tiler ( now long gone) straight out of school whilst trying to make it as a footballer in the West London area!
After three years. I went to college to become a PE teacher and have been in that profession for around 30 years. During this time I carried on tiling regularly for friends and family.
Having grown tired of teaching, I decided to go back to Tiling and went on the two week residential UK pro tiling course in Hartlepool to get fully back into it. I am now aiming to start tiling full time from July.

My first question - wet saws? Best Buy at the moment. Haven’t got a fortune to spend but don’t want rubbish. Any advice gratefully received.
Nick

Rarely use mine. More likely to use a decent grinder with some decent blades and ppe.
For the very occasional times though I have a briccolina and a Raimondi gs86. Very different beasts.

Hello and welcome, I’ve got a rubi nd200 but tend to use my variable speed grinder and good quality blades

Welcome. As above grinder blades are so advanced now and with such a variety for any material it’s not worth the hassle to be humping a wet saw about now.
If you definitely want one then the best advice will depend on your budget and what sort of material you’ll most likely be using it on.
