Rubi TX700 alternative

[redlee]

I was considering a TX700 but i haven't been impressed with Rubi's customer service, can anybody suggest a similarly priced and spec'd machine? must be capable of 600mm cuts on tough porcelain and preferably twin rails - please share your experiences.
Cheers
Lee.

To be honest I dont think you will find a better cutter if its twin rail you require. Market leaders are Rubi, Sigma, Montolit and Tomecanic

Why preferably twin rails?, is it becuase this is what your used to, or have you tried single rail and not got on with it?

I would take a look at the Sigma 3CM cutter. 1200kg sliding breaker. Never fails and you can cut most tile types. Good on price as well.

I used my mate Ozboz's Sigma for two weeks not long ago, still can't get on with it. The single rail I find very hard to see pencil marks, the twin rail Rubi does it for me everytime. Each to their own and all that, I know Sigma are a good machine, but I will stick to Rubi.

We will have to re-start the Rubi vs Sigma war again.:lol:

Ah yes I remember that video, the one where tiles were cut in half over and over again.........just like in real a real life tiling situation :lol: My tx700 cut a 15mm strip off a 70cm porcelain tile today without breaking it, it probably wouldn't have cut it in half but, I didn't need to, nor will I ever need to :lol:

B&Q Porcelain maybe. Hope you put some tape on the feet or it will leave black marks? And were off!!!!:incazzato:

Thou shall not join in with this childish banter! (Rubi rule!)

Yes, two very well constructed arguments we have put forward there, whilst I am prepared to listen to your opinion it is my moral duty to tell you that you are WRONG, I have never used a sigma so that reason alone allows me to give the opinion that as a range of cutters they are hopeless. Consider this to be an indepth review :lol:

I have run out of things to say now. Give 5 min and I will come back with something.
