Rubi TS60

[ADT]

Just bought a Rubi TS60 manual cutter but I'm concerned how well it work with Porcelain Floor Tiles?
I haven't tried it out yet but if anyone has had good or bad experiences with this model I'd be very glad to hear.

i personally don't use rubi cutters but they are top end of the market and very good value for there large price tag,can't envisage any problems arrising from them

my "everyday" cutter is a ts60 plus, and the plus makes all the difference!

its a great machine!

I had a TS60, couldn't get to grips with it at all on porcelain so had it in my shed for years gathering dust, sold it for £50 last year to a bloke I was working with

I've only had mine a few months, got mine from tradetiler, I got a call to go and cut 1 porcelain tile (yes 1 tile!), asked what size was it?, 600 x 600 12mm thick came the reply (they were using it for a cooker splash back), no problems I said. Thought to myself great I finally get to test my TS60 Plus on something a bit tougher. Although I was worried that they only had 1 tile so no room for error if it didn't break cleanly.

So get to the job, get the tile, set up the cutter and... didn't fit! what the hell! how can a TS60 not cut a 600mm tile!? look at the cutter again... turns out I bought a TS50 Plus instead:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:
Just checked my invoice and yes it's completely my fault. I must have clicked the wrong button on the website:mad2:

lucky I had my wet cutter with me, so to summarise the TS60 Plus must be a great bit of kit but I wouldn't know as I don't have one, but what I can tell you is the TS50 Plus is also a great bit of kit but it's very very bad at cutting 600mm tiles

the plus has a better breaker than the ts60, but i still find myself scoring 600x600 on the rubi and then.. instead of using the breaker pulling the scored tile out of the machine and breaking it by basically stamping on it!!

clean break everytime and all is well, smaller that 600's the ts60+ will do it on its own, like dave said "score, and a quick flick of the snapping arm" job done!
