Rubi STAR-40-N-Plus Tile Cutter - Advice please

[danmasey]

I have a rubi star and it won't touch porcelain. It will scribe it fine but dosnt have the breaking power at all.

Im with Mike on that, the ts or ts+ will not cut a decent porcelain tile.

We have both & we couldnt cut 600x600 polished porcelain tiles last week.

I just put a thread up last week about a new cutter, some good advice from the lads, worth a read through.

I use a TR400S for small tiles and a TX900N for large ones. I had a TS60Plus and had the same problem that you describe. HOWEVER, I looked at the Rubi site and read some small print that advised to score the tile 3 or 4 times for hard porcelain. I followed this advice and it cut even 15mm thick porcelain no problem, whereas scoring it once caused no ends of chipped edges etc.

I wouldn't get another TS though, think it is a crap design personally.
