Sorry i was off on a bit of a tetchy rant whilst trying to cut my big clinkler number 2 edition up into small enough bits to put in an envelope and post back to screwfix. Lol

Sounds like big tug nut or big dingleberry was right then.

I've often wondered about a lot of screwfix products being of a lesser quality with the same name as a better quality product giving the impression that they are the same. Be a good thread in itself.

What about the genesis twin rail type cutter, about £80, they take rubi wheels and the breaker is good. Had one when i first set up and still use it ocasionally

Used the clinker in my Topps the other day and it seemed good for the money. Cut quite clean and had a solid snap action to it

3 years later & it's still accurate. It's covered in adhesive & the rubber is peeling near the spine so it is my only reason for upgrading (That & the fact it's tax deductible)

Be interested to see what you think of it when you get it tomorrow... Probably worth taking your second oppinion.

In your experience is it the rail bearings that start geting loose or the cuttig wheel mount or the handle?

 

[DHTiling]

Simple wear and tear on low quality machine... but i will say if this machine works for anyone , then who am i to say not too

Lovely but probably true.:yes:

You have to have good eyesight to use a worn Clinker :lol:

Well I need a cutter by the end of tomorrow. I have a choice of a Big Clinker mk1 or a rubi star-60-n locally. 4 bathrooms and 2 kitchens in large format porcelain are what i need to do. Which one do I get :-D

 

[Bubblecraft]

I'll probably start a war saying this but I've tried both Rubi & sigma & just don't like the feel of them at all. I liked the clinker from my first cut

It's a tiler thing Gus. .

 

[Bubblecraft]

Lol, must be

I had a poke around in topps and they had a well used Clinker in there, there was a stack of play in the rail bearings but it did cut very straight! It definitely feels more susbstantial than the screwfix one but it is a few quid more I guess.

The longer Brutus cutters have a much better slide rail arrangement no play at all in them

 

[WR Landscaping]

the brutus dont always cut straight though. I bought one as I needed something quick and 4 of them had curved rails

I would get a Sigma and not worry about having to upgrade for a long time .

 

[Bubblecraft]

Well, I went in and changed the clinker 2 for another clinker 1. Will be here in the morning

Never tried a smegma but I'd be interested. I have a big clinker and although its done me 30 bathrooms on one wheel, it must be the mk1 as it has the spec mentioned. I like it well enough but it does tend to cut 1-2mil over, that said you get used to it like anything else, breaks well if you set it up to suit the tiles. No complaints.
Think I paid just over a ton for it in Topps a year ago.
