New Rubi magnet cutter

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

This old chestnut again , ive owned and used em all and the Sigma is the best cutter easily , Watched the video of that new Rubi cutter and i am seriously underwhelmed..
 
To much crap to go wrong on rubi and the two bars twist(as things wear) meaning the cut gets a bow in the middle so either doesnt cut straight or doesnt cut at all.Used rubi for 20yrs now using sigma got sick of trying to make the tx900 cut straight. Still use rubi ts50 for small tiles .Funny part is a mate turned up with a sigma 5 years ago and i laughed at him. Also get the klick klock handle if you get a sigma and use the machine backwards(pushing towards the measuring bar) then the action feels the same as you are used to using the rubi. Dont worry about hiting your mark that old chestnut is BS
 
I have a tx 700 and have found it excellent but am another of those that have always stuck with rubi. If I was to buy something new I would try to borrow a sigma off a rep as you suggested.
 
Well after some thought ( and haggling) I got this.

Haven't used it yet, only picked it up today.
I got a floor on Sunday to do so will post up a review after
I would recommend, I want a review, with 45 ° cuts.
Example, how to set the measurement on the metric bar.
For cuts at 45 °. (For me, the only montolit problem).
At 90 °, I do not care about the test. 🙂
thanks adey
