[kanhatiger]

Hi Im new to the forum today, so hi to everyone, my wife is ready to start the tiling in our bathroom, we have bought tiles from Tubs and Tiles in Telford they are 600mm ceramic, she needs a tile cutter, so what rubi would you suggest for her, ive heard these are the best tile cutters, or what other tile cutter would you suggest ? any sites with your suggestions would be appreciated. regards Kanhatiger

Good luck to her.:welcome:
Rubi cutters are great and Tradetiler is the best place to get them. Are the tiles 600 x 600mm?
What adhesive are you supplying her?

Would be great to see pics when its done.

The Tiles we have are 600mm x 300mm we have bought ultra tile pro grip as the adhesive £7 for 15kgs we have 4 but may need 1 or 2 more, we have been looking at the rubi tile cutters, we missed out on a rubi tr600s on e bay today, but we are seriously looking at the rubi star n 60 plus best we have seen is £89 odds.. wife's a good tiler shes already done the kitchen here in the uk and at our Indian home, admittidly the indian kitchen tiles were very easy, you can see them on our web site. look on page "our india home" will post the bathroom here in the UK when she's finished, we will take any advise on tile cutters. regards steve

if you want to impress her get her a Rubi, a lot better than a Sigma :lol:

the ultra pro grip is a tubbed adhesive if I remember correctly, therefore not suitable for these tiles kanhatiger

Really...what adhesive do you think we should use ? we would take these tubs back if they were not right..thanks for your info

 

[doug boardley]

if your tile supplier stocks Ultra, I'd go for the Ultra sp+es, a flexible powder adhesive with a longer than normal pot life

You might need something for the small cuts, something that does it wet and don't forget the rubbing block, esential for keeping it sharp

You could always try a cutter that the professionals use.....it starts with S and ends in IGMA.

 

[kanhatiger]

We are learning...rubbing block..we are guessing for running over the grout during the finish ?
