sorry mate i think its only nett you can purchise from:happy:

 

[Dan]

try www.uktilingcourses.co.uk too mate.
----
Or do Yorkshire Tiling Tools, Rubi Tile Cutters, Husqvarna Tile Cutters, Wet Cutters, Tiling Notched Trowels, Grout Floats, have them in too?

 

[DevonR]

As far as I'm aware NETT may be the pnly place to get them. Darren specified they are hard to find and not even available on the web.
How long do you need it for and what do you need it for? Does it have to be Genesis?

Sorry, but i wouldn't bother mate, they are poo, you can get far better for not much more money, on mine the spring loaded bed sticks, tiles don't lie flat on the bed properly, and the extension arms aren't even level with the bed. Plus i woudn't advise buying your tools from training shools there mark up is disgusting, i bought tools from a training school and have found the exact same tools else where for literaly half the price, you have been warned, sorry but this is a huge sore point with me at the moment.

Did you buy your gear from NETT?
I find it hard to believe you can complain about the prices there. You can get cheaper but the quality is a bit naff. I'd rather pay a bit extra for something that will last.
I've had no issues with my Genesis so far (touch wood), thats not to say I wouldn't look at another brand in future mind.

Hi Devon, Knee Pads £15.00 Training School, exact same ones at that tool shop in the metro center for £5.99, Silicon removal tool £8.00 training school, exact same one and in the same packet £4.50 at northern tools, Rubi 6mm cutter 8.00 training school, £4.99 at Tradetiler, Mixer £100 training school, exact same one stting in my dinning room £55.00 on ebay, sorry but i'm forced to disagree with you on this one,
I had exactly the same problem when i did a scuba diving course, they sold you all the gear, it wasn't till later on when i started visiting a local diving shop that prices were a lot lower, makes me wonder if these schools are cashing in on our lack of knowledge.

 

[SteveP]

it's ok will wait till it opens again will have to put floor tiling off till monday or tuesday doing a job and the tiles are 500mm .

paul,
i've looked all over for the genesis cutter only place to have them is NETT.

 

[Paul Sh]

Do yourself a favour, put the extra cash a get a Rubi, you can get Rubis for not much more from 100% trustworthy shops on ebay, Oh and if you can't find the genesis cutters anywhere how are you going to get spare parts for it, have you also not noticed it's only training schools that stock them, Hmmmmmmmmmm now i wonder why that is then.

 

[DevonR]

I'm sensing you got ripped off Paul as your emitting an air of displeased with the tools you received from a training centre.
I agree you probably can get things cheaper if you look around and when you become more wise but to be fair (and I can't speak for all of them here) but a training centre sells you a no brainer package to get you going quickly.
Obviously for future my tools will come from other sources now I'm out in the world but I like to think I'm more informed now and could use that knowledge to get the best tools for my money, regardless of budget.

 

[SteveP]

thing is paul i've never used a rubi only a genesis at the training centre which i was amazed at what it does so i'm sticking to what i know.

and as for spare parts i suppose you could get from the same place you bought wouldn't you?

i wonder if sum1 should set up a pole which tile cutters people use.

[DHTiling]

rubi,rubi,rubi, use one and you'll use nowt else, my opinion anyway lol lol

 

[laurami tiling]

[GazTech]

Totally agree with Dave,RUBI<RUBI<RUBI<RUBI,my lads always end up with Rubi whether it's wet or dry cutters,the cream always rises to the top!
