Hi
I just bought a Rubi DU-200-L-BL tile cutter with a standard blade and also bought a Rubi CPC 200 blade with it to cut travertine. The standard blade works fine but when I fitted the CPC 200 it wedges against the guard and won't turn. I took the blade out and measured it and it is 204mm not 200. I phoned Rubi and they said it should be 200 so I sent the blade back to the supplier for a refund. However when I looked online to buy another one I noticed that some are listed as 200mm/8 inch blades. 8 inch is 204mm and it is that extra 4mm that is a problem. So questions is, is it my cutter that is the problem? I wonder if a Marcrist blade is a better idea are Marcrist blades exactly 200 mm or 204mm. Surely Rubi blades should fit Rubi machines though!! Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
