How many cutters

[CJ]

I have been looking at getting a Rubi 700TX...........Porcelain tiles are getting harder and harder, and my TS sometimes struggles to give a clean break. Also I have been asked to do a few more diag jobs lately.

Mentioned this to my wife (bless she does'nt really understand:wink_smile: ) and she started moaning about buying MORE cutters. "How many have you got, and how many do you need" was here reply. (Wished I'd never asked in the first place):icon8:

Anyway...........How many have you got?

My list is

Rubi star cutter for small kitch jobs......ok and does the job. Shame they did'nt do a TS20 size

TS 50+

TS 70+

ND 200 wet cutter.

A couple of other things in the garage that the names escape me.......cheap crappy one's

I was going to tell her about wanting a radial wet saw.............but thought better of it:icon9:

Just a scribe and pencil does me.









My inventory if cutters is pathetic at the moment.

Just a £40 Plasplug Powerglide dry cutter and a £30 Plasplug Compact Plus wet cutter and so far I haven't had any jobs that have took them to their limits yet, but I am probably going to get a Plasplug Master Tiler sometime in october as their meant to be having their price slashed by around £50 to £60.

lol, just looked on B&Q, their £79.95 now, so I'll probably get one this week.

[clarke]

TS40, TS50+, TS60 and just ordered a TX1200N !!! dont think it will fit in the van! got it for a job with 900mm tiles, could get the tx900 but sods law ill get another job with 1000mm tiles, so im thinkin the 1200 will cut anythin. could maybe hire it out i spose? think i might struggle to lift it too coz its about 50kg!

 

[Fred]

clarke, my mate got his TX1200n in France a few years back. A lovely bit of kit. He finds that he has to move the scribing wheel from one end to another, not relying on the marked central line, to ensure a direct cut over your marked points.

 

[clarke]

I try to do that anyway just to be on the safe side fred mate, I think doin it with the 1200 will keep me fit coz i reckon its a long walk from one end to the other!!!

sorry i have been so late in posting this reply guys but it seems everybody uses rubi, i personnally have a sigma which will cut porcelain up to 600 no problem and the wheels only cost £4ish from CTD, is the rubi better than the sigma or just cheeper to buy at onset?? cheers for any feedback, i wouldn't trade made sigma but its always nice to compare

clarke if there is a porcelanosa near you they will hire you the rubi that will cut up to 1.5m, mite save you some cash unless you have the demand for such a big piece of kit
