Need new toys!!!!

[Perfect Tiling]

Hi guys...hope someone can help with this one!!! I'm looking at treating myself to a new manual tile cutter as the one I have just now struggles with 10mm porcelain and porcelain seems to be a major player at the moment. I've looked at the Rubi range which seems vast to say theleast and also had a go with the big clinker but the cheap price makes me think it can't be that good. I need something that will cut 600mm easily and may also get a smaller one as a big cutter is a bit OTT when doing 10 x 10 kitchen tiles.

Hope everyone is getting plenty of work out there and managing to keep the pounds rolling in...mine seem to be rolling in OK...but the wife and kids seem to roll them out even faster!!!!.

Thanks in advance for any help given

Hi mate I will get some stick from the Sigma guys, but for me Rubi TX 700 for larger tiles, TS 40/50 for smaller. This will start the Rubi vs Sigma thing all over again. Good luck

a rubi TX700 will fulfill your requirements fella

I find my TX does the lot Phil, I even gave Oli my ts40 cos it wasn't really needed

Cheers Dave. Just watched the video...seems a good machine. What is the maximum cut and thickness it will do, wheres the best place to get one and how much?????

Hi Perfect,

The Monty IS a great machine as Dave has already pointed out

I use the TX700N and absolutely swear by it - I've NEVER had a problem with it, but then again I have used Rubi all my life and they are simply a manufacturer that I am comfortable with

My advice would be to get yourself into somewhere local and try the two machines out and just see what you are comfortable with -personally, I don't think I could get away with a single rail cutter, but like I say thats because I am used to Rubi twin rail machines:smilewinkgrin:

If you're ever in the vicinity of Perth have a look in Diatech mate
