Not at all thin on the ground vitrex ones (screwfix / amazon), B&Q do Diall ones and chinese copies with larger wedges available on ebay (can't vouch for them). They are fine if used correctly...

Some good smaller wet saws can be fine - all depends on what you're dealing with - good planning and taking your time is the key.
