Best electic tile saw for £50

Hi all,
I have a diy tiling project to do (well 4 x rooms inc kitchen, utility, dining and bathroom). There will be plenty of cuts required and I think an electric tile saw the best option. However, it will unlikely be used again after this work so I want to limit to the budget to about £50.
Can anyone recommend anything suitable, likely cutting ceramic or porcelain tiles. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Many thanks

Plasplugs wet tile cutter, ive had mine years and its still going strong.You may click thanks if you found my advice useful0 -
I bought one from Homebase, it is about 30cm along each side, works fine, cheap and cheerful, and not robust. I think this is the same but cheaper:

I used mine to cut porcelain tiles, worked a treat. It is best to start a cut at one end, turn the tile over, then start from the other end, that stops chips. Otherwise when you end a tile, you get a small chip from the corner. Maybe there are better methods e.g. tape?Warning: This forum may contain nuts.0 -

Yep, my vote would be this one too! I had a B&Q one before and the clip to lock the straight edge in place broke. So far no complaints with this oneSome people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!0 -

I've been found. But no prize I am afraid. Use full website that one but you often get a different type of reply in here. diynot = the money is not so much an issue reply and in here people tend to take note of the budget constraint. Both useful though!0
