which cutter?

[saintdom]

am trying to decide on the ts60 plus or the husky 670, obviously the husky can break diamonds with ease . Can someone please give me some tips or ideas.

and please dont mention the tis 66 to big and bulky for me im afraid, looks like a bloody stingray.

ive also been trawling the net and come across a CT2 in tools4tilers.
looks alright but anyone ever tried it.

thanks for your time

I have the Husq TC670 and I think it's a brilliant cutter

i have the ts60plus, well pleased with it, have tried a husqy but couldn't get used to the breaker , pull it with your fingers?!

:iagree:

the runners are a bit slack tho after a bit of use dont u think? i like the way u can quickly get the breaking mech down and it seems to be pretty powerful but i do find the cuts sometimes tail off at the end???????

rubi for me.i invested in a NUOVA BATTIPAV SUPER PRO as i had alot of 15mm quarries to cut.a terrible contraption,has any one used one?????
went back to the ruby and pin hammer:yes:

Montolit for me but as you don't like stingrays that is probably out of the question.

After reading all the posts on the Husqvarna, I went out and bought the TC 670.

Had it over a month now and made several hundred test cuts in all material types and thicknesses.

I very much like the fact it accepts Rubi wheels, and my initial view on the spring-loaded breaker release was that it was a clever one-handed design.

Not particularly impressed now though.

Already I am seeing excessive wear between the head and rails, so much so that I can physically move/wiggle the handle between the two rails by as much as a 1/4". I've also been told there is no adjustment to reduce this?

Needless to say accurate cuts are no longer this cutters fortay!

In addition the clever spring-loaded breaker release, which I initially liked, now seems to be working against me. It works very similar to a cars gear lever, the type where you have to pull up a collar to engage reverse.

As with the Rubi the cutter wheels are released and tightened by twisting the handle. Unfortuantly when I pull up the collar to release the breaker I must be ever so slightly twisting the handle, as after a couple of breaks the cutter wheel drops out. Very annoying.

I accept that this is likely down to my technique, which I have no doubt needs improving!? :yes:

Dewalt,

That seems to be a common fault with these husky's; heard it a lot.

I swear by Sigma diagonals and Monti's a close second - with pull actions rather than push as you get better visibility and maybe a little more leverage.

^^ i agree !! get yourself a sigma , you wont regret it ....
