Small wetsaw for mitres.

[AliGage]

Need some suggestions please guys. Im doing some metros in the kitchen im on at the moment. Im using my Rubi DU200 bridge saw to do The mitres and having a bit of a mare! I've got a very good blade in it But im finding the motor is perhaps not consistent enough and the water pump is pretty pants. Im getting ok cuts to continue but not perfect so im not happy.
Anyone got any suggestions of an alternative saw? Want something small to do mitres up to 300mm tile size. Im going to invest in a much bigger say in the future. But for jobs like this it would be over kill to pull out such a beast for such small format.
I refuse to use trim, especially on metros unless the customer demands it. But i need something that will leave a nicer cut.

Sigma 9p

i can not get over how quick and easy it is to set up, light and the mitre capability is simply beautiful. Weighing in with needed stand is £880 delivered from PHG. The sliding table and precision is a dream.

If you were near me ali u could lend my dewalt.
Other than that im not sure, the little table saws are usually pants for good mitres , sorry mate

For £880 id rather have the dewalt for £700 or less 🙂

I have a couple of little table saws but as you say they're pants.

Cam what size tile will the 9p cut? I say your post the other day and if something to save toward. But i wanted something smaller and lightweight. Therefore cheaper for such jobs as kitchen splashbacks where you've only got two window reveals and approximately 8 mitred joints to do.
But if the 9p is as good as you say it is and light and easy it could work. Just not affordable right now.

It cuts 42cm in length and 30x30 on the diagonal. However with the guide off it will cut as long as you wish to follow a pencil line.

I wish I had bought one years ago. I cannot stress the mitre function and its perfection along with the guides accuracy.
I may do a review tonight!

I just don't know if i can justify the outlay right now. But external mitres are the way forward!

Had I been using my rail saw the amount if time I save will be cover the saw in two months!

With the guide off are you limited for doing mitres....
