Sorry to post another which cutter question. I've read other posts but still can't decide.
My Plasplugs Master has finally died. Good bit of kit but could do with being more powerful and I don't like cutting mitres with the tile face down. We do bathroom floor and wall tiling, mainly in porcelain and ceramics but also moving into naturals. Tiles generally up to 600mm. Looking at the Rubi ND-200 table cutter or a rail cutter. My current manual cutters are the TX-700-N and a TS-40 Plus.
Rubi ND-200 - Good name and as the guide extends past the drop-bed, can cut mitres face-up on tiles up to 45cm wide (I think?). Have been told as they don't recirculate the water they make a bit of a mess when used indoors. Is this the case? Also the water tray is tricky to remove? Again - never tried one but local tile shop says this.
Otherwise I am looking at a rail cutter. Have never used one so don't know how they compare for ease of use etc. The Rubi ones seem very over-priced. What would you recommend that will do 600mm tiles? Want something solid and durable but lots seem to stop at about 580mm such as the Norton Clipper. They do seem to make bigger ones but can only see on the US site.
Any opinions / advice / alternatives much appreciated.
Cheers,
Larry
