I have the TI66s and swear by it. I've heard people moaning that because you dont have a direct line of site its difficult to use but after a couple of days of use its no bother. Its a sturdy bit of kit with a great breaking system, well worth the money

i bought one when finished my course,only used it a couple of times,but practice with it quite frequently,a bit cumbersome for my liking,and cant see the wheel,gonna get a 700n when i start for real,think there around 200,great cutter though,just be light on the handle with smaller tiles

Still would go for the TX700N instead

the ti-66s isnt a patch on the montolit which its based on...imo why buy the copy, when the original is better?..ive used both and theres no comparison...fortunately, tradetiler sells both!!

i would however do as merle says and get the new tx700 over the ti-66s anyday of the week..

I havnt used a monti, Iv always used Rubis. What price difference are we talking between the Monti and the Rubi?

 

[Aston]

the monti is a bit more expensive but that wouldnt put me off because its worth it..(check www.************** )
also, the monti's breaker is adjustable whereas the rubi's isnt and it can smash ceramic tiles. its not one of rubis best ideas imo to do a copy that doesnt improve of the version its emulating...

I asked about the TI on another website and was told that a rubi rep had trouble cutting a inch off a porcelain tile. Have just brought a Sigma (me and another tiler on a job having ALOT of trouble cutting some porcs) and the sigma has breezed through them and also some porcs that the TX didnt touch. No more Rubi for me.

i have one of therse tile cutters and after a bit of practice it is a good machine.really usefull for cutting porcelain and the breaker bar is good aslong as u dont push too hard on smaller tiles. ive found nice steady knocks with the back of your hand works realy well.
i personally would advise getting a ts40 or equivilant as well as this machine (ti-66s) because this machine can be a little too big in a small bathroom/kitchen a rubi ts is great for more presice cutting as the obstruction of the scoring wheel on this cutter can be a little time comsuming.
i have heard good reviews about a sigma which looks like this one, a little more money but i like the idea of the moving bar at the top being made half of a strong plastic and steel, which would be a bit more lighter and it also half can be folded away when not in use

Firstly the rubi ripped off the design from the monti's and the sigmas and by the sounds of it didnt do it too well so your statement should say the rubi looks like the sigma. Secondly the sigma is made out of aluminum not plastic this makes it twice as light as the rubis and thirdly the sigmas cost less then the rubis you need to look long and hard granted as not many people supply them but when youve got that grade 5 riven porcs to chop youll be glad you brought a sigma! also ive said this before somewhere else go on you tube and look at the videos of rubis being used all they do is cut a tile in half then watch the videos of the sigmas they cut a small piece off the edge of a tile and then they usually cut this in half even with the cutter thats 145cm long!!
