hiya kev, to be honest it is a basic line model as it says on the tin but with a decent blade installed it has coped with most average sized jobs ive done,

one thing i would do if i was you kev when you get it the screws holding the waste tray in place are not stainless steel and rust i had an issue with this and replaced with betteer quality screws after the old ones had to be drilled out, apart from that the water spray is fine its not bad and noise its just the same as any average cutter mate,the flatbed isnt as large obviouslt as the other wet cutters from rubi

It's just for small jobs and splashies really, so sounds like it's good enough for that

 

[kilty55]

[merlecollins]

Ive just bought one of these cutters, and mine gives me occasional shocks too!?!
After upgrading from my old plasplugs master tiler, i have to say i'm pretty dissapointed... The cutting is no better than the Master Tiler, and it's missing a lot of features. You can't remove the water reservoir without throwing the water everywhere. It doesn't recycle the water, so you have to top up every two cuts. I've just finished my 2nd job with this cutter, and the "stainless" steel bed is going rusty already!
Just seem to be paying for the name, as it was about twice the price of my old cheapo cutter, and half as good. It doesn't make me want to upgrade to an even more expensive Rubi flatbed cutter... :-/

Yeah that Rubi Cutter is in the skip now. And I still have my B and Q specials in the shed from many years ago that cost 1/4 the price.I do remember it being awful. Water everywhere and fearing for my life with every cut. Poor design,inferior product and with that £150 cutter the Rubi name cost me £100. Because a cheapo for £50 would still be working today..
