Wish we had used this cutter from the beginning.
We went through 2 wet hand saws. We had a huge chatter issue and of course our driveway is a mess!
We had not intended to use 24" x 48" tiles but our original choice of 12" x 24" tiles were discontinued between the time we chose them and when they were ordered. This issue caused our contractor to quit so we decided to do it ourselves. My husband and I have done quite a few projects totaling around 10,000 sq feet. Our existing equipment wasn't large enough to handle these huge tiles.
The cutter is very well built. Nice and heavy. Very stable. We didn't use the guides or laser. We just drew a line and lined up the cutting wheel, scored and snapped. Super easy. Very clean. Didn't waste a single tile. We probably scored each cut more than we needed to but we couldn't risk breaking a single tile since we couldn't get any more.
My husband and I are both in our 60's. We thought that this would be our last project but are thinking we can tackle a few more before we hang up our tiling tools for good!
