None really, its about the going price for a small machine. Note there
is a limit on the size of tile that these can do easily - about 12mm
thick (max), and probably about 10" square.

FSVO 'esily' I have in fact cut much largetr slates and even a 1" thick
sandstone paving slab..before I have up and hired a serious diamond
wheeled stone cutter and did in 5 seconds what had taken 15 minutes.

The bloke in the shop looked surprised 'something wrong'?' 'No:
finished: I only needed it for 10 slabs and it ****ed through them'
