Should hopefully have a big job coming up soon, 30mm thick marble and varying sizes, but up to 1200mm long, was wondering what machines are on the markets now, ive got a big 6 foot one already, but its a bit of a relic and a four man lift, so maybe one of you have a few recommendations i could have a look at?

Thanks

The runi 250 nl is pretty good and cheap enough for something you wont be using everyday

Yea got that one already, its pretty flimsy for what i want, and think it only does a tile of about 750 and only 17mm thick!

Check out what Raimondi have to offer or the Nuova Battipav machines. I'm not talking from experience but I have heard good reports about both

For 30mm thick marble, forget bridge saws and go with the Flex CSW4161 plus guide rail.

Man handling 30mm thick slab on and off a flat bed and lining it up mm accurate is a ball ache! 20mm is sensible - but 30mm you're into the world of stonemasonry as opposed to tiling, so it's time to take on some of their equipment.

The Raimondi looks quite solid, and was actually chatting to a mate who has one so going to pop by his and have a look later next week!

Never considered that, but always a fan of Flex tools, so will defiantly have to consider it if it makes my life that little bit easier :smilewinkgrin:
