New rubi cutter- dc250 1200 now available in uk!

[RubiUK]

Hi Everyone,

Just to advise you of a great new RUBI tile cutter available as of today in the UK Market.
The DC 250 1200 is an electric tile cutter with maximum precision and functional moving head. Great for ceramics, stoneware, porcelain and other materials Available in 230v (ref:55941) and 110v (ref: 55943) It has a 1.5 cv/hp motor. With a cutting length of up to 120.5cm (85x85cm) it also cuts material up to 85mm thick. It has a full blade cover so you are able to use any blade, not just a continuous rim one. The engine is set with sliding bearings and the cutter comes with an aluminium bracket adjustable from 0° to 60°. The removable aluminium table makes the machine very easy to clean and the folding legs with built in wheels makes the cutter easier to transport. A CEV 250 blade comes with the cutter although the power cable is supplied separately. Additional accessories also available. These machines can be purchased via any of our local reputable RUBI stockists, nationwide. :hurray:

Seems very strange.

Since last year all of our larger machines are now supplied without a cable. Its a security measure that has been introduced should cutters need to be left on site. At distributor level we supply the cable seperately however some stockists may include the cable in the retail price.

I cannot advise on prices however it should sell not far off the price of our current DW250NL

That is a crazy reason, i have never heard of anything so stupid. Buy any electrical product and it comes with a cable, imaging if someone bought one and the sales didn't tell the purchaser. They get to site and................

I don't get that at all.

Fair point, however this is a change that has already been made and implemented. We've not had too many concerns regarding it in the last 12 months but I am more than happy to pass your comments on to our product development team at Head Office.

What is the reasoning behind it?
