rubi ND180 basic wet saw

http://www.tradetiler.com/cgi-bin/sh000 ... 2d180_2dbl

Had this machine for 3 months and used on several tiling jobs.........

Plus points
Great for doing cuts on small tiles (200mm square max)
Unbelievably quite motor, in general use it makes a big difference
Utterly true motor / blade combo - zero chipping of tile cut edges.
Small and easily portable
Stainless steel bed has ruler marked on it - stamped into steel, not a printed strip.

Bad points
Fence is p*ss poor to tighten up - knobs too small, and it cams out when tightening - fine once tightened.
Rubber feet fall off
No drain round edge, so with larger tiles, water just pours off the end
Stupid OTT box supplied with it - would rather have had £20 off instead.
Blade guard gets filled with slurry, then needs disassembled to clean out. Appears to hold all the cut material
Water tray difficult to remove
Slightly underpowered with thick tiles

All in all 7 out of ten, with it being very portable, runs true, and quite running. Great for small tiles.

Can't view it from that link Craig,

It looks like the link posted was from when you were logged in on their site.

Looks like a nice piece of kit :thumbright:

I don't do much tiling apart from for my family, so I just have a silverline cutter that was about £30 :oops:

That is there bottom of the range one......................4.5inch angle grinder is as good as anything for cutting tiles up to certain sizes.

I have a wet cutter, but use it dry.
