Hi,

Looking to buy a new "wet" diamond tile cutter.

Have seen a number of radial tile cutters where the blade cuts the static
tile from above as apposed to sliding the tile over a static blade.

Screwfix Example

Has anybody got any experience with this type of cutter and its relative
pro's/con's to the conventional wet cutter.

I do a fair amount of tiling with both natural stone and ceramic tiles.

Thanks

Andy

I used one once - very good for cutting more awkward tiles - lumpy ones,
that sort of thing. You can get the tile well held down and then the
blade moves over it so there's no trouble getting the cut where you want
it.

Thats the real McCoy that is.

If its worth it to you, go for it.

Way more control than the cheapo I have.
