I need a new dry cutter

[Grace'sDad]

I've been using a Big Clinker for the past year or so, but it's been so well used it is now time to replace.

I cut lots more porcelain than ceramic and upto 600mm.

What's the best of the best out there? I don't mind spending good money on good tools. The Clinker was cheap and I never got round to buying something better.

(Oh, and I'm not a Rubi fan!)

QEP were ready to import the larger more robust clinker from USA when I last spoke to them Mark, ask Dave @ Preston to phone them for you.....Gaz

I know you said you are not a rubi fan.....but check out there new cutters they have brought out..... the Ti range.....

 

[Grace'sDad]

Is this one?
Looks more "industrial" than the Rubis I'm used to.
If anyone has used one I'd be keen to know what they think.

Hmmmm....

 

[DHTiling]

yes that's one of them..that is the ti-66s and comes in 630mm and 730mm cutting length.. i think....lol......they are about £199 inc vat.....

It dosn't look like your traditional Rubi does it, bit like the sigma

I think tiler burden has got one mate

Having looked around, the Tomecanics look very good.
Do you know if anyone has one on here?

Dave, where can you get the TI for £199? On Contractors Direct they are over £300!

I would have gone for a Montolit (my new Montolit wet saw is fantastic) but the breaker puts me off. I like the look of the twin breaker system on the Tomecanic.

 

[DHTiling]

£199.20p to be exact...lol....... google Ti-66s and the supplier is on the top right...lol.... And if you contact buybrandtools they should be able to get them as well......

 

[Grace'sDad]

Thanks Dave - now why couldn't I think of that?!

 

[hillhead]

What bit puts you off 'Dad?

 

[brian c]

the price bit i think Russ...lol

 

[Grace'sDad]

The breaker is a fixed part of the arm and while you can break anywhere on the tile, I think that the small breaker which can be used on the tomechanic would break slivers off porcelain better.

The Clinker can do 25mm cleanly on some porcelanatos, but any thinner and it's cut n nibble.

(note: "think" - don't really "know"!)

If you get a chance to try the Monty, give it a go. It cuts fine slivers too with the right technique.
