Vitrex 103402NDE Torque Master Power Tile Cutter Diamond Wet Tile Saw 240v

Harassed and harangued, I wanted it really, into putting in a tile splashback at home I decided I would have a go myself so invested in a tile cutter to aid cutting some plain white Metro Tiles. Vitrex seems to be the go to brand for all tiling accessories, it's the prominent brand at the local DIY giants plus there aren't many options for the non pro have a go bodge jobber like myself, so I picked one of these up. The Good - Its fairly easy to set up, clunk click a couple of parts together, a screw for the guard, install the blade inside the box, all less than ten minutes to get up and running. The measure handles move fairly easily once on place enabling you to line up your tile. It's a waterproofed push button start and stop, the blade quickly whirs its way to full speed and away you go. As said I used this for metro tiles which are quite small and only 6mm thick. I'm not sure how larger tiles would go but for what I needed this little machine was superb. How many hours saved versus a manual cutter I am not sure of but it's a lot, an awful lot. The could be better - One grumble I had when using was that the numbers for lining up the cutting guide were extremely hard to see, there are a black indent on black plastic. One of my photos shows the numbers once I had cut a few tiles, the wet clay has gotten into the idents making it much easier to read. If there was something to say this could be improved it would be improve visibility on the guide numbers Vitrex!! Some look outs if you do pick one up I found handy - Masking tape is your mate, tape the cut line to reduce the risk of lopping off the edges and nibbling the ends of tiles. Wear Googles and have a second pair you can swap out with out having to stop a cut to clean the muck off your Googles. Ear defenders are handy, it's noisy, especially if you are crouched over it with one eye closed because of wet tile clay. Have some towels, some sheets, a wet suit, snorkel.. It makes a mess, a lot of mess even with the guard down. You can do some tricky cuts by removing the guard but I would watch some YouTube instruction videos first! Let the blade do the work, you don't have to force it. Cleaning this unit is a pain, there's no getting away from it, i would say clean it at the end of each day you use it, don't leave it overnight, it's just going to make it harder. Set 30 minutes aside to clean it properly and it will last a lot longer. Dry the blade, it rusts very quickly. Probably invest in another blade depending on how many cuts you are planning to do. Overall this is a really good piece of kit that's extremely good value for money, if I only got one job out of it I'd have been happy but am sure it has a couple more reasonable sized jobs in it too. It's also a surprising amount of fun! Five Stars.

This is the first tile saw I have ever used. I read a lot of reviews and decided on this one, although I was concerned over the quality of the item being as there are more expensive saws out there. I needn’t have worried! The saw is brilliant and handles tiles with ease. The motor is very loud so I would recommend ear protection but the noise comes from the more efficient type of motor that has been used. The saw cuts mitres at 45 and 22.5 degrees and has a scale in cm and inches to easily cut to the correct size. There is an extension for when larger tiles are being cut and a cutting guide to ensure straight cuts. The blade is ridiculously easy to change and the whole saw is very quickly and easily set up and adjusted. As a complete tiling novice I can honestly say that this tile saw is worth its weight in gold. I went from dreading tiling my bathroom to enjoying it and even looking forward to doing the same in the kitchen!

This review is after I've finished tiling my bathroom, which took 2 days (had to go back for more tiles!). This cutter is great value for money but it almost destroyed itself as the nut loosened itself off and dropped slightly cutting the plastic base but not all the way through. Key points: 1. VERY IMPORTANT: You need to make sure that you tighten the nut (that holds the blade to the shaft) very tight! I actually got a spring washer and put this under the nut. I did tighten it initially but the vibration of cutting the tiles backed the nut off, the blade dropped, started cutting into the plastic base and started shaking. Turned off the power and luckily no serious damage. 2. The water should be filled so the blade just touches the water, about 1mm and no more. If it is more, you'll get soaked even using the guard. 3. Bear in mind that ceramic tiles create a lot of clay dust when being cut and this will settle in the water bath and go hard. You'll probably have to scrape this out after the job is finished. Makes quite a lot of mess. 4. I would use a work bench to hold the cutter as on a normal table it moves a lot. I put a protective sheet under the workbench to protect the carpet (or whatever your floor is made of in the room). I then clamped the cutter using the workbench and had no problems. If it moves, your cut wont be straight. 5. I suggest using a dust mask. Even with a window open, as the tiles are cut they produce a lot of dust. Do these things and the job will go well. One more point, if you are cutting tiles of 300mm x 300mm or bigger, you'll need the table extension pieces. 4 stars not 5 as I've only don't one job with it. Conclusion: Great value for money and does the job :)

Der Fliesenschneider kam aus England, was natürlich nirgendwo geschrieben stand. Ergo war auch ein Gerätestecker verbaut, den man in Deutschland nicht benutzen kann. Also Stecker abschneiden und durch einen Schuko Stecker ersetzen. Dafür einen Stern Abzug! Den zweiten Minusstern gibt es dafür, das die Trennscheibe schon nach einmaliger Benutzung zu rosten anfängt! Das Gerät ist komplett aus Plastik und macht insgesamt keinen vertrauenserweckenden Eindruck, aber für den Preis okay. Es rostet wenigstens nicht. Auch die Motorgeäusche, die das Teil nach etwa insgesamt einer Stunde Fliesen schneiden von sich gibt, lassen keine lange Lebensdauer erwarten. Die Anschläge sind etwas fummelig einzustellen und auch aus Plastik. Alles in Allem würde ich mir das nächste Mal ein höher wertigeres Gerät kaufen

Il a l'avantage d'être petit donc peu encombrant. A condition de l'utiliser correctement (on accompagne le carreau, on ne le pousse pas de façon excessive), coupe très bien et de façon précise. Je l'ai utilisé pour couper des carreaux en grès, pas de problème. Un bémol cependant : livré avec une prise au format anglais. J'ai du acheter un adaptateur, ce qui augmente le prix.... Faites vos compte....

Bargain!

Bonjour, loin d'un coupe carrelage professionnel, puisqu'il fait un peu gadget Mais il fait son boulot. J'ai coupé des carreaux de 60 par 60 en grès émaillée. Il faut y aller très doucement mais c'est impeccable!

Good as price, make from plastic so it light weight also easy to break, my break after few time cut as 45 degree angle otherwise is good product
