Tbh I don't understand you getting one of those as I thought getting a tile into it would be a nightmare and would think that using a rail system you can place on top of a tile on a bench would be easier. Now I not being dismissive but I am genuinely interested why you would go that route .

Thought I would post a picture of the rubi bucket I bought and started off new tools Tuesday, still going strong after being used almost daily. Needs a good clean when I get a chance

Well. If a customer is paying £150 a tile they do not expect lots of breakages. We are having trouble getting 100% cut rate. I would rather spend money and keep the customer and myself happy. 6mm thick tile is a doddle even a 3200mm cuts easy on a rail cutter. These are pigs to cut they are rock hard. Putting an 1800 into this machine is easy. On the other hand a 2400 x6mm could be difficult @3_fall ? It only cost a mortgage but anything to make life easy

Got an old Rubi in a similar state in my van too. Easily the toughest tubs I’ve ever bought.

Let’s see if £70 trousers last better than the few months of all the others I have ever owned.



They have 4 way stretch apparently, and they actually fit like a pair of trousers should.

So far so good.
