tiling tools

[tombolton82]

hi, ive done a little bit of tiling before but ive always borrowed tools. im doing my bathroom and wanted to invest in some tile cutters but wanted to make sure that what i get is good enough. it will only be for diy use but i dont want to spend out on something crap

i was looking at this [http://www.buybrandtools.com/acatalog/Rubi-Star-60-N-Plus-Tile-Cutter-With-Case.html] and this [http://www.screwfix.com/prods/89494/Power-Tools/Tile-Saws/Titan-TTB179TCB-300W-Radial-Tile-Saw-230V] or this [http://www.screwfix.com/prods/75763/Power-Tools/Tile-Saws/Vitrex-PRO-560-560W-Radial-Tile-Saw-240V].

thanks for your help

The higher wattage saw is probably the better bet, but both will do for DIY occasions....I've got a Screwfix Erbauer ERB 180C for less money, and its a reasonable piece of kit.
Liberally sprays you with white water though which is great fun - and best used outside!

ive got a couple of these cheap tile saws,and burnerman correct you get bloody soaked so i cut up a bin liner and wear it when doing all of my cuts.

Rubi 60 excellent manual cutter, the others however i have not used, i did on occasion have to buy a cheap relpacement radial arm saw as mine went kapput in the middle of a job, the machine i bought was a " rexon 700" excellent little piece of kit for the money.
