Hi all, We really like some some polished marble tiles for our bathroom. Ones in question are Verona Stone Imperials which each measure in as 305 * 475 * 12mm. I cant find a specific weight for this tile online. Appreciate I should have got this when at the shop. Unfortunately, our walls...

Thanks tpt. I hadnt even considered it may actually be slower. We have a reasonable manual cutter already but I not sure how durable it is. Certainly worth a test!

Hi all, Not sure if this is best in here or the tool section but here goes. I need an electric tile saw but only have a budget of about £50. Its a diy project but we are tiling kitchen floor & walls, dining room , utility and bathroom. Total area in excess of 40 sqm I think (guessed) so...

Thank you for the replies. This is were my lack of knowledge on the subject will let me down! As this is intended as a gift for someone who has done an awful lot of work for us for free I want to make sure it is good quality while providing a surprise. However, I appreciate I have a lot of...

Hi guys, Does anyone have any recommendations for a band saw, floor standing so must include legs/base, minimum of 300mm/12inch? Budget is, at a stretch £600, but would ideally come a little lower than that. Main use will be DIY so its doesnt have to be rugged trade quality but will be...

Third vote for Henry. Bought one for our house renovation and it has coped admirably over the last 12 months. Its had a lot of fine plaster and brick dust thrown at it also and its still happy. Filter need regularly clearing but thats to be expect. Also paid £80 from homebase.

Its not really the time of blade that the issue it is whether any specific recommendations for make, specific blade for its quality etc. Maybe its me being a little over zealous (I do like to read about things) but there are enough negative reviews out there about blunting blades quickly, items...

First post. Thanks for the forum its been a great read. I am (or more appropriately my girlfriends father is) fitting our kitchen. He is not qualified fitter but has done a couple and is a joiner by trade. We're just about to buy the bits for fitting and wanted recommendation for bits and...
