New tile cutter

[pktiling]

Hi i've been out of the tiling game for a while living abroad i have 20 years expreince and i'm looking to get back in to it and need a tile cutter. I had the TS 40 before can anyone tell me which is the best Rubi around at the moment thanks.

That would be a Sigma then!

Don't listen to them, Rubi still the best unless you like doing things backwards.

Welcome - pop into Ctd on Shields Road and see the range of cutters available or contact Lee Carr at Rubi and he' ll sort you out!

 

[afright]

Have been a Rubi man for years but have just finished a big job was using Alante beige frostproof porcelain from CTD my rubi would not cut them so ended up getting a Sigma still hard going but found it a better cutter so I have now become a Sigma lover.

Thanks John what's a good size to get the 40 or 50 or the 60

 

[Andy Allen]

Have you thought about trying a sigma. .?

Don't forget the monti,

Don't forget the monti,

Monti is mid-way. I went from Montis to Sigma.
Montis are good but Sigmas are gooderer.

Stick with Rubi. What were you using abroad?

My advice if you want a rubi is to spend that bit extra and buy a TX model as they handle tough porcelain too

Or a TR600. Good for the money.

The TR600 is a good cutter, but I find my TX900N eats the toughest or porcelain whereas my TR400 (they don't make them anymore) struggles. The TX has nearly twice the breaking power.

Some stats from the Rubi site......

TR-600-S 60 cm 42x42 cm 6-15 mm 600 kg 10.0 kg 13.0 kg
TX-900-N. 93 cm 65x65 cm 6-20 mm 1000 kg 18.0 kg 24.0 kg

Get yourself a rubi ts 60 then when your fed up cutting porcelain buy a sigma that's what I did lol ts for the walls sigma for the floors

 

[pktiling]

Thanks guys but to all the sigmas users sorry but I'll stick to the Rubi. I tried a sigmas when I worked in Germany didn't like it ??

Just got a Rubi TR600s with my CTD points, been using it a week and found it fine and light weight and very good for the money. You wouldn't go far wrong with one of those.

I have the TR 600 + 700 always on the van, i find they are fine and the right size for most jobs (including 600 x 600 porcs) I do also have the TX 900 and it's a lovely cutter but i hardly ever use it. Not a lover of Sigma myself, just can't get used to them.

 

[afright]

I have five Rubi's got a ts60 its never been out of its case always used my tr60 but getting a bit worn so decided on the sigma have now got two and wished I had got them sooner nice cutters.
