New Rubi magnet cutter

[GoneGuy]

has anyone on here got a Rubi magnet cutter? I'm looking to get Rubi tr600 magnet but a Rubi Rep has recommended I get the tr710 magnet as the tr600 you can only just get a 600tile in it?
Just looking for some advice before I buy a new cutter.

Well I've used my new montolit cutter today, and it cuts lovely, wish I had bought it sooner as it's so superior compared to my genesis cutter.

Genesis is a bit diy really .

I would recommend, I want a review, with 45 ° cuts.
Example, how to set the measurement on the metric bar.
For cuts at 45 °. (For me, the only montolit problem).
At 90 °, I do not care about the test.
thanks adey

@antonio as soon as I get a spare few tiles I'll do some diagonals and let you know

For anyone who cares (which is almost no one in this whole forum) I've used to the Rubi TR magnet. A rubi rep dropped it off at a local supplier for me to test out. I think it was brilliant, quick and strong. Put it through it paces for half hour and the only negatives for me was the bed is so thin and the support arms are flimsy which I was pretty shocked by. Secondly being when doing repetitive cut you can't set it any smaller that 150mm which is also very shocking! That being to much of a let down to buy one. Even tho it can do this with ease on a 600x600 porcelain floor tile 10mm thick........

As you can see the cutter bed is way too thin

We always appreciate a good review, it'll always help someone, one way or another.
Even if it's to bolster our dislike for something! Haha
Thanks.

have to agree with @timeless john on this one only ever used Rubi and never felt the
need to change. TS 40 TX 70 that's good enough for me, RUBI RUBI RUBI..

Ahh now this is the cutter to have.
SiriPro 90 - emctiles - https://www.emctiles.co.uk/product/siripro-90/
I had a tomicanic for about 15 years but it has a rigid square and it went out of 90 degrees. Went into EMC to try out a few. The monti was OK but when I tried this beast I was sold

Yes. What I really like is that to scribe you press the lever on the handle and the scribe lowers coming perfectly into view so you can drop it right on your line. No lining up, practicing, lining up again.
You then push or pull whichever you prefer, let go of the arm you had pushed to use the scribe, the scribe raises leaving the snapper bars down and you just push the handle down. Will snap either top, bottom, even middle.

Sigma you just slide along, bang the handle, perfect cut!

Same here except you push a leaver with your thumb to get a better view of the wheel. But I have never tried a Sigma

 

[Flintstone]

Oh man, you'll wonder what you have been doing messing with these rubi cutters!

I had to buy a new cutter this week. I looked at the RUBI magnetics and there was a demo day at the local builders depot . It seems to cut well etc. I also tried a friends Sigma .That was a instant game changer . I knew no matter what .The Rubi was no longer on my wish list . My next job is with expensive porcelain .A friend showed me his Kaufmann (Topline 630) . Its stupid heavy and built like a 1950's Soviet tank . BUT WOW..... Can it cut all the types of tiles I tried ! In some ways the sigma is a lot easier to deal with .And a case at costs still help protect etc .The Kaufmann does not have a case . It also does not have "wings" But thats not a issue as I Have made tile stands from Green MDF with some rubber glued to the tops. Once the cutter is on my table stand (I never work on the ground !) the blocks are exactly the right height to support any tiles . Dont dismiss the Kaufmann cutter .If you are using medium to 600's size tiles .
