yet another tile cutter question

[mike s]

Hi all ,
I'm after a tile cutter , I've used the 'genesis'(?) one's and like the way the snap bar moves out of the way of the cutting line so you can get a better view if what's giong on.
But there dosent apear to be many other cutter's that do this.Or does anyone know of any?
Do i have to bite the bullet and just buy one?
and where's best to pick up a genesis cutter?
thank's

if you want one that gives a clear line of where you're cutting, you won't go far wrong with a Rubi...Mark. and I don't use one...

must of had my eyes shut when i went to that site ,didnt see them!!!
if you only wanted to have the one cutter would it be best to get the 600mm size
or are the a bit clumsy size wise, to work with ?
cheers

in my opinion mate the bigger the better as tile sizes are hitting massive scales, just fitted 900 x 300 ones and had to cut with wet cutter for the length cuts

ive got 3 cutters now after the pain of wet cutting those buggers lol

a genesis 400 for splashbacks
a genesis 600 for general use
a rubi tx 900n for big tiles

and if tiles keep getting bigger then its gonna have to be a rubi tx 1200n

plus the radial cutter and other tools lol
