Rubi TS75 advice any Rubi experts?

Is the tile breaking off line when snapping?

Yes it snaps a chunk off randomly left or right of the cut line at the end where the lever comes up to snap.

Common problem, place tile in nice and square, back score the tile ie pull handle back to around an inch of tile side furthest from measuring bar and score a couple of times then do your normal score. Then pull tile away from measuring bar a small amount before trying to snap

Tbf it sounds like an over tensioned tile but there is no question of a Rubi’s capability over that of a Sigma’s imo.

Yes the Rubi is great!
Try cutting it on the back of the tile.
Or scribe the front and tap/hit the back scribe line with a pin hammer.

Just incase there’s any confusion I think for any ceramic tile over 300mm a Rubi is crap!! But that’s just my experience.

Any chance of a chat with someone from @protilertools?

i use a sigma but i found that it very much depends on how much pressure you put on the cutting wheel, on whether the tile breaks straight or not,
