Rubi Ts 60 Plus

[spooner68]

OK OK

For sale one used Rubi TS60 Plus, well run in, one careful hardworking owner, all original parts. Offers? Buyer collects.

I bought the Monolit, it was the bit in the film where the geezer was snapping the inch mosaics that clinched it. Sexy.

Sigma and Montolit cutters are good, but I just cannot get on with them. I learnt on a rubi TS and find the double rail system works better for me, so have now bought a TX700 for those porcelain tiles. Love it.

Rubi are still excellent tools, but the TS system only really works well on ceramics and it struggles to provide consistent clean cuts on porcelain. Dont write it off yet - we are still in a tough economic climate - porcelain and natural stone is expensive - ceramic is not.

Finally, I was taught to use a soft and clean cutting stroke on tiles using the TS - but porcelain will not cut cleanly with a soft stroke. As someone else noted, a firm even pressuire on the cut, followed by 1 or 2 sharp taps on the breaker handle works best. For rough porcelain an 18 or 22 mm wheel scored twice along tile is contrary to everything I was taught on cutting, but it works.

Best advice a Rubi rep gave me, "on unpredictable or difficult tiles, try a couple of practice cuts on a spare tile first - helps decide which technique works best on tile cutting."

i found the sigma awkward to use at first but after a day or 2 i worked out the easiest way to use it. each to there own i suppose but i wouldnt go 'back' to a rubi now

My ts60 is struggling as well.Just think breaking power is inadequate and a new breaker is around £70.cant justify reconditioning it,sigmas sound good though.Making do with a big clinker for now,not bad but no carry case

The Monolit MasterPiuma 63-PC will arrive tomorrow, interested to see how it performs. Too many beneficial options to pass up the purchase. I get lots of 60x40 porcelain and the time it has taken me to do stuff recently has been a nonsense.

Probably just e-bay the TS60. It needs a new breaker and tool holder so about £100 for something which has been great but in reality is just too long in the tooth and not that good compared to more recent ones'. [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
