Recommendations for rotary laser level and wet cut table saw

Hi Guys,

Looking for recommendations for rotary laser level and wet cut table saw. As after best part of 10yrs I have had enough using line/ bubble and renting a table saw.

I have a few big porceline jobs coming up and figured instead of renting a table saw I can buy one and just charge the hire cost and have the money back by the end of the year. Then it can earn me money after that.

literally have no idea what to look for. As some seem crazy money like £2.5k plus!

For the table saw we have never laid anything bigger than 1000mm in length. But we do a fair bit of paving with natural stone and porceline seems to be getting alot more popular. So will need something that will happily cut both. I assume you can just change the blade?

Any advice would be great!

For the laser it has to be a Leica rugby, simple and solid runs on batteries you can buy anywhere. Accurate to 0.5mm over ridiculous distances, can also up to tolerance to 5-10mm for Sub bases etc

For table saws it's all about budget and weight, my Battipav saw is great, it's commercial grade think it's 1050mm class plus. Not too expensive, I bought the side extension table which was well worth it. Much better build quality than the Rubi saws in the same price range. Can assemble and disassemble it in a matter of minutes
Did a 500sqm porcelain patio with it, cut 600 Vousoirs for a clay brick circular step never struggled as long as you don't force it through hard porcelain. Get your blades from Elite Stone tools, bought a £250 montolit blade and lasted for a quarter of the time one £50 elite stone tools blade lasted on porcelain.

if you can afford the cost of montolit bridge saw its probably the best on the market in terms of build quality but the smallest weighs 75KG!
I would Buy the Battipav Class plus again, lasers accurate bit fiddly to set up though, handles solid, motors powerful, pumps reliable, about £1600.00 weighs 50kg
