[Ian]

Will one of these be demonstrated at the trade days?

 

[RubiUK]

Yes all of our Reps have these available to demonstrate at any of the trade events.....

 

[Rookery]

[rcbuilders]

And the most inportant thing -the price .

guys dave at tradetiler got me one on request for a 1.5 metre pocelain tile
have to say the saw it self worked a treat but the rails and clamps were disapointing
i found clamping a piece of timber as a guide did a better job
ps daves price beat all on the web

I had at one at the weekend, looks like a good piece of kit, can't understand why rubi didn't make it like a regular saw that does bevel cuts though. I would have thought that would be a no brainer.

What a bloomin faff to cut a tile.

The Flex CS60 is a similar machine with mitre facility, one of the members here in Germany (rainsco) has one.

I used to use a Flex CSW4161 for cutting up 3200mm x 2400mm x 30mm granite slab, they are powerful accurate machines.

As tiles get bigger, these machines are the way forward, but there are a number available. Google the following:-

Blue Ripper
Flex CS4161
Flex CS60 (same as CSW4161 except it also mitres)
Alpha AWS-125

Mostly all derived from the stone industry to solve problems for tilers now facing tiles the size of marble and granite slabs.

 

[RubiUK]

At the moment available in 230v

 

[RubiUK]

As we are a distributor I would be unable to advise retail price. Regards

Are they going to do one that will cut a bevel???

Angle grinder + straight edge works for me. That's way too much messing around to cut a tile. I really am quite unimpressed by that demo tbh

 

[mattster]

angle grinder ok on hidden cut but if you blow the edge then client wont be happy as the tiles are 180 quid each

 

[darren pealing]

Festool for wood,that for big tiles.

The clamps and the rails are a personal preference. Either way straight edge or rail guides it's good to know you are pleased with the saw :smilewinkgrin:

Because of the varying degrees of hardness in materials, you will get different pressure points so it would be difficult to incorporate a bevel cut on this machine and keep it accurate. This is why RUBI decided against it for now, however it may be something we introduce in the future as the product develops.

We will be uploading a newer demo video in the next few weeks, specifically for the UK Market.

edx stw40 same machine from toolfix

 

[David - Tradetiler]

We do the smaller Dewalt one that bevels, on special offer at the moment (but do search around - I heard one retailer was doing a crazy deal on them a while ago, might have ended)

It has an odd blade bore of 20mm so we include a free ring that allows you to fit standard angle grinder blades (115mm x 22.2mm bore)

[Peter]

Are the dewalt ones any use or no substitute for a grinder? Seen a new one at a ridiculous price.

 

[Gazzer]

Never liked using mine....another tool hidden away !

 

[mhtiler]
