Newish (2years) Tiler - How Do You Guys Do It??

[White Room]

Are they sturdy

Yes mate but some times I have to use a wedge at the back of the stand if the floor is not level, I use an ali screed rule for longer walls.

I just use battens still

I am looking at the same thing now. Might pick some up tomorrow. Its the best option I can find.

The only place I know where to get them is from the link I put on.

I think you might need a new wheel on the Rubi, either that or the tiles are cheap ceramics which chip on the edge no Matter what you do.

I replaced the wheel buddy thinking it was that. They are cheap ceramics unfortunately.

Cheap ceramics ,very chippy on edges as ceramic so thin ,

I think that's probably the problem.

Definitely a new wheel in your cutter and only score very lightly

 

[Spare Tool]

Well someone's got to say it...trade rubi in for a sigma
Can't remember last time i saw a bath level enough to start with a full tile on it, and even if level they've all got a slight curve on em, i always start with the lowest row of tiles from floor off batton and work round and up to the bath, batton out above bath then cut into bath once walls above gone off, but hey apparently I'm behind the times for even using battons, stafs and datum lines

 

[Brian the Tile]

Rubi all the way for me and yes it looks like you are behind the times
