what new tile cutter?

[daren]

hi, i want to upgrade my cutter to something better then my current one, have £200 to spend but not sure which one to go with.

needs to be a all rounder was looking at the TI S 66 but open to suggestions

hope you can all point me in the right direction

cheers

a tx 700 (the smaller one in the pic) is a brilliant all rounder in my opinion, you may need to spend more than £200 tho'

daren i'm in the same situation myself ive been advised by dave admin that rubi have new style cutters out in july maybe wait until then i will get one that cuts 10mm porcelein im finding more and more is coming into the market the bridge saw is so slow

Check out Montolit...do some great cutters but it depends on the type you prefer...single rail or dual like Rubi.

Dave at Trade Tiler will be able to advise as he stocks both types. Drop him a message or give him a call.

Or sigma if you prefer a good pull action cutter,my 630mm sigma 3B i think it is cuts most of the tiles i confront,lol.

 

[daren]

so far i have looked at the following cutters

TI 66
TS 60 PLUS
MONTOLIT

Can any one advise the good bad points on these cutters please, not to sure what model the montolit was but it was £250

Must say make the right choice is driving me mad!!!!!!!!:mad2:

tx 700 all good points, no bad ones!

I own a Ts 40 and a TS 60 and dont have any problems with either of them, i dont believe in sigma tile cutters because they look like miniture stingrays, and i've never used one because i dont know how too!! a friend of mine has got one and its just noisy!! they could be briliant tile cutters for all i know, stick with good old rubi!! you'll have a really wide choice of hassle free cutters, and shop around you'll get a good price some where!!

i'v got a rubi TS-30 for those kitchen splashbacks, a TS-60-Plus for larger ceramics, and TX-700-N for porcelain which i seem to be doing all the time at the moment

well i own and have owned sigma , monty and rubi cutters( ts and tx) and if i was you i would get a sigma or the montolit they in my opinion are the better cutters but if your a rubi fanboy there is no convincing :lol: p.s darren if you are going for rubi do not get the ts range go for one with the moveable breaker ie tr , tx or ti range ...

 

[daren]

thanks all,

went out today and tried out the rubi range again this time i had a play with the tx 700, needless to say i was a little poorer once i got home,
must say it is a heavy bit of kit!!

thanks again for the comments
