Bought a dustless disk cutter for general site use. After using and abusing it for the last week on eveything from block pavers, 7n's to clay roof tiles im very impressed. So nice to be dust free and not have to wear a mask, especially in this heat. Quite amazing just how much dust is collected after an hour of cutting.

Needs the rolling table option, bit lethal without it imo! Obviously a little better than a Stihl saw 1cm away from your toes while you try and cut the end of a brick 😖

I know diamond disks aren't quite as bitey as carbide tipped but that video makes me wince how close they put there hands to the blade

Had Reo's Clipper here for a while, cutting stone for him when he was doing our wall ..... was a good tool after I'd repaired the rolling table ... but hell didn't it make a mess and needed a 16 A supply on start up 8A running

seen these pop up on the paving groups on Facebook for the more clued up guys on there, looks the must nuts. ive got wet table saw etc but still makes a mess and need topping up with water then cleaning out and 32 amp 110v supply and then cut item is wet etc

these look to be a great tool in the arsenal and anything that reduces silicosis has to be a good thing

they go through brick/block pavers no problem. amazing the amount of dust it collects.

we also have a wet saw for volume cutting (can cut 4 bricks at a go) but this will replace 90% of stuff we would use a disc cutter for.
