Hello,
After reading here about Plasplugs tile cutters I thought they did two: a compact cutter with 8cm disc and a pro tiler version with 11cm disc.
I was looking in Focus and they sell the compact for 29.99 but it clearly states on the box that it uses a 11cm disc (even though they sell 8cm discs in the same aisle that state they are suitable for the compact model!) Both compact and pro versions say that they will cut through tiles up to 20mm thick which makes sense if they both use the
11cm disc.
Then I went to B&Q. They sell the Pro Tiler model but the photo on the box shows a metal surface on the tiler, not the plastic channels that Plasplugs models are famous for. I tried to get a price match but the model has a different bar code to the ones sold by Focus, even though both have the same model number.
Does this mean that the two models have been redesigned? Has the compact been upgraded to a 11cm disc? Has the Pro version lost its plastic water-catching channels for an aluminium top instead?
Curiously the "new" Pro version boasts cuts of tiles up to 25mm thick, so has the disc been made bigger still?
Thanks.
