New toy

I'm a sigma user but always fancy a push cutter sometime,lol.
I hear a lot of complaints about weight of rubis?

Fair point they are quite heavy (the tx1200 is 47kg in its box!) but its not like you need to carry it round all day! :lol:

class cutter Bri, I've got the older model and it's the best cutter I've ever had

My tx 12 is the old model and the only noticeable difference is the bed, doesn't feel any different to use. Lovely!

Hell yeah! If it works, use it! I've had a go with loads of cutters but always end up with another Rubi in the back of the van!

Looking at the Rubi TX900 N at the mo, I may be doing some 600mm x 600mm soon & there'll be diagonal cuts, so may be worth it

hmmm still toying which to get, Sigma or Rubi, currently have a couple of Rubi but TS range & not great for everything. Altho I looked at the TX range, grrr I hate decisions

I've always had Rubi cutters and like how you can easily see the cut line. Just got a Monti 63, its pretty nifty and is great for repetitive angles (especially if they are are NOT 45degrees). However, its single rail so you have to look for the line, theres no hard case and they are £220 +vat ish. It takes a little getting used to but its only used for 400mm+ tiles or porcelain for me and is class. My TS40 is in need of an upgrade now too so I'm toying with what to do too next. Replace some bits or splash out again......

A lot of complaints about the weight of Rubi's is because they are solid cutters. I prefer to put up with the weight so that I can get the best cut on Porcelain. I am working on a site at the moment, and there is a lot of banter about Rubi vs Sigma - looks like it will end up in a "who can get the narrowest cut in the porcelain tile competition" - width of cut must be 5mm or less.

Be interesting to see who/what the winner is
