Hi chaps,
I have about 4 or 5 more tiles to lay down and I'm done but I need to cut them. I was looking at the Wickes tile saw but it seems cheap £25 or so.. Do you think this will work?

There is an larger Erbauer on screwfix for £40

I am cutting ceramic floor tiles 9mm thick. Tried it with a tile saw and then a jigsaw (with tile blade).

total waste of time, got no where with it

The Wickes one will do it fine. It really is down to how much use you give them but my cheapo Ferm one from Screwfix has done loads.

Thanks DWD

, will give it a go

I am always wary of buying real cheap tools as its false econmy

Bought a challenge Jigsaw. Had little to do but its a complete heap of s*#!
Blade wanders everywhere.

The Wickes one is perfectly serviceable so long as your not doing a huge job.

Make sure you remove the water tray over the bath / in the garden though as you'll never get it off without spilling the sludge!
