Does running a DW250 without the water pump put any excess strain on the motor?

Hi Peter, yes it would do. Not recommended. Regards

Hi Lee,
Which saw did Gary loan you? I am finding water trays are a bit like marmite.lol
Don't suppose you've seen this new circular saw we brought to market late last year- TC 180, Cuts wet or dry. Ps no water tray in sight!!!!lol TC-180 Circular Saw - RUBI

Over 300 quid though ..

 

[RubiUK]

Lee get yourself a cheap roller 9" tray from Wickes, fits under the ND200 perfectly and leaves the shallow end sticking out so you don't need to remove to fill up with water.

Problem solved maybe????

 

[RubiUK]

Not many answers so far, in fact none at all lol

May not be able to answer all questions or comments immediately but will be checking in at least once every day or two, so rest assured you will always receive a response in due course. Regards

 

[RubiUK]

See now Del from Sigma would have been all over these answers if these probs existed on Sigma cutters... but thus they do not .. :lol:

We will aim to be on the forum at least once a day or so and more when we can. Give us a chance to get going on here and we may well give Del a run for his money

Lee said he was willing to pay............

Are you sure. the blue bird really suits the Sigma colour :lol:

I'm going to have to ask marketing to change it now, purely for that reason :yikes:

 

[DHTiling]

But it is made on china and .. well shall i say it is very over priced.. the dewalt version is half that price..

All advice is very welcome IMO.. as there are many Rubi users and we Sigma users do feel that the Rubi users need help on the break down of said machines as it is a common problem :lol:



And now the banter begins

 

[DHTiling]

A question for Rubi uk..


I have had 2 of the BL porcelain 110mm blades and both have shattered on me.. i asked the Rep to look into it and got zero response ... then through the grape vine i hear he said it was down to cutting curves.. lol..

Now i was cutting cheap 10x8 ceramics and a straight L-cut at that and it shattered on me... 2 blades did just the same and i get no reply..

Can you look into this .? or is it just swept under the carpet..

Don't want to sound abrupt but i could have been injured and all i wanted was a reason why.. is it because they are sourced cheaply in china or maybe just a manufacturing fault .. but please do not just ignore feed back from an ex very long time rubi user.

Does the tc 180 run on a rail guide like the festool circular saw? I've always wanted a tool like this, once thought about converting a conventional rip saw to do this. You could do some good bespoke work using this.

Hey Guys,

It's been a while- hope everyone is well.

RUBI are aiming for a more consistent presence on the Tilers Forum going forward.

We are here to help answer any product related queries or questions you may have or even talk general tiling chit chat with you.

We'll be happy to hear from you and any feedback is more than welcome.....

Speak soon

Has one got a name , better to know so we can relate to who we are chatting to

when I was at topps a certain rep for rubi, called gary too, dunno if its the same one, told me that the 45 trowel idea came from Germany where the germans would manually bend them to facilitate the idea of a full 10mm bed. REALLY LOL!

The undertone of this thread kinda sums up the way the forum has been heading for a while, this guy is on trying to help rubi users and some people are a trying to make some fun of it. No wonder so many users used to be on here and no longer make an appearance but hey-ho.

Rubi v sigma round 200, rubi are good and sigma are better, or is it the other way round, well used to be a little over a year ago.

Mr rubi rep, dave is 100% correct, watch this forum and see everyone switching to sigma, there is no doubt this will happen but I wouldn't worry about it as there not anywhere near as many tilers on here to be swayed by the pro sigma propaganda as there used to be. I don't actually know any tiler in my area who comes on here, how do I know this? ... They all use Pva as bonding and most of them use rubi

Shame it has to be a secret then.. :

Anyway , it is just banter and will not pursue it as it upsets others it seems..


Rubi uk.. you could pm me about the blade issue if it saves embarrassment
