GMC 1250W Wet Stone Cutter 110mm (GMC1250) (263288)

22mm Limestone paving slabs. Cuts really quick and smooth.One important thing is that the disc spins upward at the front at cutting edge so it's throwing all the water/dust slurry in front of the cut so it's impossible to see the line I'd drawn on the slab.Other reviewers have said that the water pipe isn't very secure. It is a strange attachment but I have various pond plumbing attachments so had no problems attaching it securely. With water running it lubricates and cools well and cut quickly through the slab. But with all the debris being thrown up in front of the cut I couldn't actually see where I was going. So no use at all for accurate cuts trying to follow a line.I disconnected the water feed and simply held the hose pipe in front of the blade to wash away all the debris and keep my line clear. Doing that and I had no problem working and got all my cutting done accurately.Added a picture.The picture is 22mm limestone slabs. Didn't use the water feed - couldn't see where I was going with all the water slurry being thrown up in front - so i disconnected the water feed and just held a hosepipe on a low flow in front of the cut to keep the front clear. I'm more than pleased with it.By the way. That's the first time I've ever layed or cut paving slabs.2 years later and it's still cutting well. I just can't stop doing curly paving.I now use one of those pressure garden/plant sprayers. Disconnected the the spray gun thing and put the hose directly into the cutter. Works perfectly. Just enougb water to cool without splashing everywhere.If I could give more stars I would.

Bought this instead of a very expensive large table cutter. I needed to cut through 900x600x20 outdoor porcelain tiles. I also cut into some concrete and some set tiles with concrete, slurry and the tile on and the cutter still managed to get through. This did it really well though probably not as perfect as a professional porcelain tile cutter as some of the faces look a little microchipped. Most of these have been covered with edging strips etc. But for a DIY job I'd buy it and do it again. It's also not so powerful and torque'y that if it slipped or bounced back I'd kill myself in an instant. Blades are an awkward size but the cheaper of the two brands on amazon did the job well. I went through 4 of those on my 30m2 job to keep the cuts as clean as possible, which was only £20 of blades. It would get 5 stars if it wasn't for the annoying water feed line. A hose connects directly into it but the tap only needs to be turned on slightly. But if you pull the line or get a sudden increase of pressure it pops off. I put a jubilee clip round it to keep it in place which helped. Over the time using the machine I can see that the attachment and where it attaches to the cutter have developed micro holes that leak water. Its a shame that this part feels cheap, badly designed and made as the rest of the tool has been so good.

We used this to cut down some used 30 mm granite worktops. I was expecting very little, but to be honest it did a great job. We used a https://amzn.eu/d/gILeHN3 115mm blade (that came with the centre ring adapter to allow it to fit). These are only 1mm thick so make cutting like butter. Less than a minute to go through a 600mm wide 30mm thick top.To get a good straight edge we clamped a thin piece of plywood to the surface and ran the saw down the edge. Hold it steady, don’t rush it, use lots of water and it glides through.Done about 10m of cut so far and still on the first blade.Obviously the water attachment is junk, so you’ll need tape and expect it to leak everywhere. But you can make it work.

i have used this to build a 60 sqm patioit cut through 20mm porcelain at a fast speed with good clean cuts.best to use good blades that are thin, for best performance.I clamp a piece of thin wood to the tiles when cutting to get a "rail saw" type guide. that has worked very well.Lots of water comes out, so wear a waterproof apron. or be prepared to get soaked!I also used a garden pressure sprayer as my water source. its a bit more controllable than a garden hose.for the price, very happy.and with care can do lots of good work.

I bought this machine to avoid generating a lot of dust for my neighbours, by cutting 28mm concrete paving slabs, as well as 100mm concrete blocks. It will cut about 30mm deep, so it won't cut right through 100mm blocks, but I cut all around and then used a hammer to knock the offcut off, then a chisel to tidy the remaining bits. It cut clean through a 28mm concrete paving slab.A great machine for the price, and perfect for my single diy landscaping project.What it didn't come with is a small tap to adjust the flow rate near the machine. I bought a small inline 1/2" tap on ebay, item number 323316467495 You still have to very carefully turn the flow of water on, as with too much flow rate the connector just pops off.I also bought a reducing bush so I could use 115mm 22mm bore blades : "Spectrum JRB22-20 22.2mm - 20mm Reducing Bush" ebay item 391909146708And finally I could then buy Turbowave Diamond Blade 115 x 22mm from Toolstation, part number 83764 I believe this blade can be used wet or dry, but I can't now find the reference that proves this.By providing this information I am not guaranteeing these products all work together properly, nor am I vouching for any of them, I have no association with any of these sellers. I provide this information as it took me a bit of research to find what I needed to make this tool really easy to use. All I can say is all these parts work well together for me.Great machine to make cutting dust free. I guess not for professional use, but perfect for my diy garden landscaping job. Hope the above helps someone.

Struggling to find a quality “BRANDED” blade to fit this machine I can only find cheap ones which is a concernTime Will tell if this is a worthwhile purchase
