I finally decided it was time to buy a Pistorius wet saw, but as luck would have it, they went out of business in 2011.

Is there currently a real equivalent to the Pistorius out there on the market? Or is the used market the only option?

I am not looking for a rickety knock or a tile saw.

I want the nice precision motion of the table. And plan to use it with more than just glass. I had access to one off these saw for years and loved it. Everyone used it--glass, ceramic, hypo tubing, thin-walled tubing, screws, you name it. Unfortunately I moved on and the saw needed to stay.

Thanks in advance.

Dynacut is on of the nicest saws I've seen.

Do you have any pictures of a Dynacut setup similar to a Pistorius? What does a new Dynacut sell for that is comparable to a Pistorius?

I have the Nortel at work. It's expensive but it's also barn friendly. Less than 200 pounds.

Hammer, any chance of doing a detailed review of the Nortel with pictures of pros and cons of the saw? I have never seen one in person.
