VITREX 103402NDE Diamond Blade Tile Cutting Saw

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!

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.

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!
